SNL Vets Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph returned to the show this weekend with Kate McKinnon, who was there to host. Together — and with current cast member Bowen Yang — they hilariously transformed into ABBA and promoted a Christmas album from the Swedish supergroup.
“They're the Fleetwood Mac of cold weather, and they're the No. 1 alphabetical band of all time.” SNLJames Austin Johnson said to introduce the team in a parody commercial for ABBA Christmas.
“You can't get enough of their music. You loved Mamma mia!, Mamma mia! Here we go again and the prequel, Mum“, he joked.
“And you love how their hits like 'Dancing Queen' make you feel young and sweet and 17. And now, released for the first time, is their 1978 Christmas album, ABBA Christmaswith songs like “Santa Queen,” he said, leading into the group's festive remake of “Dancing Queen.”
Unforgettable highlights of the album include “Frostitita” and their “Fa La La” number, sung with their signature “standing close in different directions”.
The ad notes that the holiday album would make a gift “perfect for everyone from mothers to their gay sons.”
