In what was arguably the best skit of the night during SNL‘s Christmas show, Chloe Fineman dressed up in her finest gold lamé to impersonate the beloved White Lotus actress in a skit called “Jennifer Coolidge is Impressed by Christmas Stuff.”

“Look at this,” she begins, “a big sock full of gifts. The ultimate stocking stuffer is a foot.”

It got even kookier from there. Fineman’s Coolidge weighed in on blinking Christmas lights, questioned who wrote “Jingle Bells,” and remarked how a cup of egg nog tasted “like I’m drinking Santa’s c—.” Yep, that part was censored.

She also thought a menorah candle was lit for someone’s birthday — so she blew it out. “I forgot to make a wish,” she said.
