Scarlett Johansson crashes SNL's White House christmas: Parodies Ivanka Trump

Saturday Night Live (SNL) has a knack for wrapping current events in a hilarious package, and the Christmas skit featuring Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka Trump was no exception. As reported by Mashable, Johansson’s unexpected appearance added an extra touch of sparkle to the holiday episode.

Scarlett Johansson: The Surprise Star on SNL’s Tree

In the festive sketch, the SNL crew imagined the White House Christmas celebrations, with Alec Baldwin reprising his infamous impersonation of the Commander-in-Chief. Joining him was Scarlett Johansson, who made a surprise cameo as the First Daughter.

Baldwin's Trump declared the war on Christmas over, jokingly stating it would soon be replaced by a war with North Korea. The skit saw the 'Trump family' celebrating their 'accomplishments,' which humorously were presented as throwing numerous confederates under the bus.

“In the Christmas spirit, I wanted to thank all the amazing people who work for me, but because I can't help myself, we're also going to remember the haters and losers I destroyed this year," quipped Baldwin’s Trump.

Decking the Halls with Political Satire

With a Christmas tree decked out with ornaments symbolizing ousted public figures, Johansson’s Ivanka presented her father with a sparkling orb of Roy Moore, a controversial political figure, for the so-called 'Loser Tree.'

Scarlett Johansson, known for her strong roles in the Marvel Universe and acclaimed indie films, nailed her impersonation of Ivanka, culminating her performance with the cheeky line, “As I said, there's a special place in hell, and we're all there."
