Things became more chaotic when McCarthy asked for some snow to create a holiday mood. At first, fake snow dusted the stage gently, but it soon turned into a heavy snowstorm. The snowfall grew so intense that it nearly buried her, causing her to joke that it had gone too far. Fellow cast member Marcello Hernandez joined her with a piano, accidentally knocking her aside, leading to more laughs and banter on stage.
Kenan Thompson soon joined the scene to reassure McCarthy that she hadn’t ruined Christmas. He encouraged her to perform one of her favorite holiday songs. McCarthy then used her “mouth horn” again while other cast members sang and danced to “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” wrapping up the monologue with joyful energy and laughter from the audience.
