SNL's Serial Parody About Santa Is Perfect

We thought Serial spoofs couldn't get better than that Funny or Die spoof, but Saturday Night Live has raised the stakes with an on-point holiday-themed parody. Cecily Strong does a pitch-perfect impression of Sarah Koenig as she examines a man — Kris Kringle — who claims he delivers presents to kids all over the world. Sarah wants to believe him, you guys, but she just can't reconcile how he does it. There is so much good in this sketch, including the prison calls from Santa, the UPS guy's disbelief, the appearance of the supershady friend Jingle, and Aidy Bryant's voice as Kris's lawyer. It's the satisfying holiday treat after that less-than-satisfying finale.
