Hereeeee's Vladimir!

Saturday Night Live's last cold open of 2016 went out in holiday style, 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, SNL got 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."

SNL took 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 — Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) December 18, 2016

While those two plotted out scary world domination, Trump kept his focus on the real important 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!
