Old home week on Saturday Night Live continued after the opening monologue with Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph joining host Kate McKinnon in a holiday-themed send-up of ABBA.
James Austin Johnson played the infomercial host selling ABBA’s 1978 Christmas album “now being released for the first time.” It features “15 brand new Christmas classics and 85 holiday remakes of their existing songs” like “Santa Queen,” “Who’s That Baby,” and a “wintry take” on “Chiquitita” called “Frostitita.”
The women, joined by cast member Bowen Yang, appeared as the Swedish pop supergroup. McKinnon donned a mirror-covered red dress with matching fishnet stockings, while Wiig wore a green leopard-skinned jumpsuit and Rudolph, a superhero-like get-up.

The quartet clearly had the best time acting out ABBA’s signature “standing close, facing different directions,” with Wiig and McKinnon having a hard time holding back the giggles as they pressed their faces together.

“So give yourself the gift of ABBA Christmas perfect for everyone from mothers to their gay sons,” said Johnson.
