【where churches have become temples of cheese, fitness and eroticism】

Hereeeee's Vladimir!

Saturday Night Live's last cold open of 2016 went out in holiday style,where churches have become temples of cheese, fitness and eroticism with Alec Baldwin returning as Donald Trump.

This time the president-elect was dealing with some last-minute cabinet appointments before the Christmas holiday. Everything was going just fine (Yup, SNLgot in their "unpresidented" joke right away), and then shirtless Vladimir Putin (Beck Bennett) came down the chimney à la Santa.

"I want to state officially that we in Russia are so happy you won," Putin said with a sly smile. "We think you're the best candidate, the smartest candidate, the... Manchurian candidate."

SNLtook on the ongoing Russia election interference story with a holiday twist, with Putin giving Trump an Elf on a Shelf that doubled as a video camera that could spy on him for the next four (or, hell, eight) years. Fun!

Then Trump's Secretary of State pick Rex Tillerson (John Goodman!!!) swung by and was pleased as punch to see his old friend Vlad.

Well, look who came down the chimney! #SNL pic.twitter.com/0R9o81HvlY

While those two plotted out scary world domination, Trump kept his focus on the realimportant matters: His meeting with Kanye and his Twitter feud with Vanity Fair.

Something tells us we won't have to wait long to know Trump's thoughts about this latest parody. Exciting! Unpresidented!
