Nicki Minaj as Queen Bey is here to help you celebrate the holidays.

On Saturday Night Live, musical guest Minaj starred as Beyoncé in a mock MTV special called "Jingle Ballerz: Hip Hop Nativity." In SNL's retelling of the birth of Jesus, Minaj as Beyoncé plays the Virgin Mary — a.k.a. "the original teen mom" — with Justin Bieber as her Joseph.

"Behold my baby boy," she says. "He woke up like this — flawless. One day, he'll turn water into wine, and we'll all be drunk in love."

And while she may not be as musically inclined or graceful as Liesel, Louisa, Brigitta, or the rest, you can't deny, the girl's got style. Who cares about Do-Re-Mi when Wiig can eat a frog and harass Fraulein Maria?
