Whilst hosting the show for the sixth time, McCarthy spread Christmas cheer by using her “mouth horn” for a special rendition of “Carol of the Bells.”

She began her SNL monologue by expressing how great it was to be back as a host for the sixth time. She also talked about the essence of the Christmas season:

“It’s about family and friends and classic Christmas music. Come on, set the mood, gang,” before showing her talents with the “mouth horn.”

“Speaking of music, there’s something most people don’t know about me, and it’s that I am a musician. And my instrument is the mouth horn.

That’s right, it’s the mouth horn,” as she hummed the tune of the Carol of the Bells.

“Oh, nonsense, Melissa McCarthy. Come on, you haven’t ruined Christmas at all. Everyone here loves you,” he said. “Now, why don’t we do one of your favorite Christmas songs?”
