Jimmy Fallon hosts the Christmas show, playing an adult trying to crash a dance at his old high school, a retired Regis dropping in on Hoda and Kathy Lee, Russell Brand and then Justin Bieber singing Christmas duets with Michael Bublé, getting advice from his mirror image as he prepares to host SNL, the reluctantly-dancing host at a 1928 Manhattan cocktail party, the keyboardist in a quartet of SNL alums ("I Wish It Was Christmas Today"), and the horse on Broadway's "War Horse." Jude Law impersonates Justin Timberlake on "Weekend Update," Michael Bublé sings, Tommy Palmese does his off-Broadway show, and Jesus visits Tim Tebow and the Broncos in the locker room.

After a children's choir sings "Silent Night," Martin Short hosts, singing as the walks through the set (cameos abound), then playing Tony Bennett's brother on a Christmas show, Buckingham Palace's protocol chief coaching Kate Middleton's OB/GYN, Larry David in a star-studded revival of "You're a Rat Bastard, Charlie Brown," running into a high school friend at a hardware store, and a tightly-wound amateur singer auditioning with a put-upon triangle player. Paul McCartney performs "Cut Me Some Slack" with Nirvana and "Wonderful Christmas Time" with the children's chorus. "What's Up With That" ignores Samuel L. Jackson and Carrie Brownstein.
