Saturday Night Live unsurprisingly concluded the year with a Christmas special featuring Alec Baldwin as his favourite blonde in office, only this time Vladimir Putin was included in the act.
"I was just in town, you know, hiding in the walls," a shirtless Putin in Santa pants said after climbing down US president Donald Trump's chimney and given a warm welcome. "Mr Trump, I'm here because your CIA is saying that we Russians tried to make you win election."

SNL's Christmas special has regular target
Alec Baldwin once again appears on Saturday Night Live to parody Donald Trump with a little help from Beck Bennet's Vladimir Putin.
"All lies made up by some very bitter people who need to move on," Baldwin's Trump said of the claims about Russian hacking, to which Beck Bennet's Putin replied, "So you trust me more than American CIA?"
Trump: "All I know is I won."
Well, look who came down the chimney! #SNL pic.twitter.com/0R9o81HvlY

But Putin wasn't finished with his spy enterprise, offering an elf doll bugged with a recording device from his Santa sack.
"This is Elf on the Shelf. It's fun, you just put it right here next to your internet router," he said, placing the gift above Trump's chimney. "You keep it there all year, it's fun."
Baldwin's Trump apologised for not having a gift to give in return.
"Please, Mr Trump, you are the gift," said Bennett's Putin.
It is little wonder Trump continues to be mocked by SNL and Baldwin given the endless material available to ridicule, however, it borders on boring because of its obviousness.
The media tries so hard to make my move to the White House, as it pertains to my business, so complex - when actually it isn't!

If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?

Are we talking about the same cyberattack where it was revealed that head of the DNC illegally gave Hillary the questions to the debate?

Kanye West also got a mention, having already offered his own political bias towards Trump on a silver platter - or should we say blonde platter? West resurfaced from a stint of mental restitution to recently meet with the president, fashioned with a new hairdo.
As Baldwin's Trump put it to Putin: "I know Kanye. He's using my colourist now. He just says whatever he feels. He's like me, but a black."
I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues.

These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.

I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change.

Even Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton was resurrected in a spoof of the very tired holiday movie Love Actually.

And @realDonaldTrump may once again retaliate over SNL's latest skit the best way he knows how.
Still there is always the slight chance that Trump may break with tradition given that will be the last he has to hear from the late-night comedy show over the festive break.
But then again Baldwin did win a Critics Choice award for best guest performer in comedy series for his impersonation on SNL, so maybe not.
Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!
