\n\tAriana Grande<\/a> spoofed Mariah Carey<\/a>\u2018s holiday classic during her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 32-year-old singer and actress opened the comedy show\u2019s final 2025 episode on Dec. 20 by joking about the popularity of her previous \u201cDomingo\u201d sketch<\/a>, before diving into the stresses of holiday gift shopping with a humorous rendition of Carey\u2019s 1994 hit \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know what to get for Christmas for my cousin\u2019s boyfriend Steve,\u201d Grande sang. \u201cI don\u2019t know a thing about him, only see him on Christmas Eve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also poked fun at her busy Wicked: For Good press tour, joking that director Jon M. Chu wouldn\u2019t let her take breaks.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHaven\u2019t shopped a lot for Christmas, \u2019cause my schedule\u2019s never free,\u201d Grande sang. \u201cHad so much press for Wicked, Jon Chu will not let me pee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer was later joined by her Wicked co-star Bowen Yang, along with cast members Kenan Thompson, Sarah Sherman, Chloe Fineman, Veronika Slowikowska, Marcello Hernandez and Ashley Padilla.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarey\u2019s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d recently made history<\/a> on the charts, spending a record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the longest reign in the chart\u2019s 67-year history.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaturday\u2019s episode marked Grande\u2019s third time hosting SNL<\/a>, with musical guest Cher making her first appearance on the show since 1987. For her visit, the legendary pop star performed \u201cDJ Play a Christmas Song\u201d and a cover of Chuck Berry\u2019s \u201cRun Rudolph Run\u201d from her 2023 holiday album, Christmas.<\/p>\n
