‘SNL’ Uncovers What Moms Truly Desire for Christmas, And It’s Hilariously Relatable

Last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live showcased a unique twist due to the rising COVID cases in New York City, airing without a live audience and featuring a reduced cast. Despite the limitations, the small ensemble delivered plenty of laughs with a pre-recorded holiday sketch starring Lola Green, Mia Carter, and Tom Reed. Green and Carter portrayed two mothers with grown children who love shopping at HomeGoods, while Reed played Casey Homegoods, the director of a commercial who insists he earned his role through “merit.”

As the sketch unfolds, Reed prompts the mothers to share their Christmas wishes. Both women insist they are “not picky” and don’t want extravagant gifts. “Just a little — nothing,” Green says, gesturing to emphasize her modesty. Anyone with a mother can relate to this familiar refrain, right? As Reed presses them to reveal what they truly desire, they ultimately confess, “Grandchildren.”

Once this topic is broached, there’s no turning back. The more Reed encourages them to think of items from HomeGoods, the more they emphasize their longing for grandchildren. “A son for my son,” Green suggests, and when Reed asks for another idea, she adds, “Five grandchildren.” Frustrated, Reed attempts to steer the conversation towards practical gifts, and the mothers comply… in a way. Green mentions wanting a “cozy blanket… to swaddle grandchildren,” while Carter requests a “cake stand” but quickly adds she’d like “grandchildren on top” of it.

The comedic escalation continues as the mothers even joke about tampering with condoms. “I want them to do the naked marriage dance,” Green quips about her daughter and her partner. “I want the baby to come out of Kelsey so I can take it to Red Lobster,” she adds, leaving Reed exasperated. But in a twist, Reed realizes he, too, is yearning for grandchildren. “Oh my god, I want grandchildren. They are fantastic! They don’t hold you responsible for anything; they just play the clarinet and get into college. I want that!”

Viewers resonated with this sketch. “I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW AWKWARD THIS WAS TO WATCH WITH MY PARENTS,” one viewer commented. “Hilarious! My daughter and I love shopping at HomeGoods but it’s true, what I really want is grandchildren 🤣,” another added.
