In the lighthearted promo, Ariana, 32, is invited to join the cast for a festive outing to see the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.

Yeah, I would love that. I haven’t seen it yet,” showing her excitement for the holiday-themed adventure.

The teaser adds humor by highlighting the winter chill in New York City. Ashley advises Ariana to bundle up, and the singer is seen layering multiple winter essentials while checking a weather app that shows the temperature dropping. This playful touch underscores the seasonal challenge while keeping the promo fun and engaging for fans.
This upcoming SNL episode will mark Ariana Grande’s third time hosting the iconic sketch show, making her return highly anticipated by both fans and comedy enthusiasts. Adding to the excitement, legendary singer Cher will join as the musical guest, promising a memorable evening of entertainment.
