SNL’s hilariously 18-certificate ‘alternative ending’ to Home Alone is the funniest 3-minute Christmas movie you’ll watch all season
The debate about the best Christmas movie can surely end here. Okay so it’s only three minutes long so it doesn’t really count – it’s a sketch, not a movie – but this is so good it will surely brook no debate.
It’s Saturday Night Live’s 18-certificate take on Home Alone, with Ariana Grande in the role of Kevin McCallister, and we just didn’t expect it to be this good.

And the people who didn’t like it …
America is in trouble! This horrific! What kind of sick (morally depraved) person finds humor in this skit? #HomeAlone
