The holiday season is upon us, which means a few things for Saturday Night Live<\/a>‘s upcoming schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n First, it means that it’s time to mark your calendar for SNL’s Thanksgiving special<\/a>. The annual event features a surprise mix of classic sketches about chaotic family dinners, larger-than-life parade shenanigans<\/a>, airport insanity, and more. A Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving airs Wednesday, November 26 at 9\/8c, streaming next-day on Peacock.<\/p>\n Second, we’re just weeks away from Season 51’s big holiday show<\/a> on December 20. This year, it’s going to be quite the celebration with Wicked: For Good<\/a> star Ariana Grande<\/a> returning to host for the third time. Plus, returning as Musical Guest for the first time since 1987, it’s Cher! We’re simply obsessulated.<\/p>\n Third, the holidays usually involve taking time off to spend with family, friends, and food, and that includes the cast and crew of SNL. There are still three new shows to go this year, and you can get all the details below.<\/p>\n RELATED: Every Host of SNL Season 51 for 2025-2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n No. SNL tends to take a break after three new shows in a row, especially around Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n RELATED: Saturday Night Live’s Season 51 Cast Members: The Full Lineup for 2025-2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Bad Bunny and Doja Cat.
