‘SNL’ Presents ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ — Martin Short & Bowen Yang’s Version


A local community theater director (Martin Short) reworks 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' in this 'SNL' 'Peanuts Christmas' sketch that aired Dec. 21.

The SNL ensemble is full of spot-on spoofs of Peanuts characters in the sketch (hats off to the wardrobe and props departments), and they’re bopping away to the classic theme song “Linus and Lucy.” Drake Tuttle (Short, who hosted Saturday’s holiday episode of SNL) is joined by a self-proclaimed “genius” choreographer named Lestat (Bowen Yang). For more holiday laughs, check out Saturday night’s Sábado Gigante Christmas Special sketch, and for a musical fix, don’t miss Hozier’s performance.
