See Justin Timberlake On Saturday Night Live

Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon have joined forces for Saturday Night Live's annual festive episode - with the pop heart throb dressing as a Christmas cracker.

Although JT was slated as the musical guest, with his SNL veteran status (he's hosted five times), he appeared in a few standout sketches alongside real-life pal Fallon.

And those hoping for the return of some of JT's most-loved characters weren't disappointed.

Having previously tackled Omeletteville, Veganville and even Homelessville - this time the pop star appeared as a tube of wrapping paper, defying Aidy Bryant's gift-wrapping attempts as he "brought it on down to Wrappinville".

Fallon then hopped in as a shiny gift bag on backup, and the two went back and forth with mixed versions of Ludacris' Roll Out and Run-D.M.C.'s It's Tricky - before belting out the signature: "Live from New York, it's Saturday night!"

Other sketches included a version of Celebrity Family Feud and a spoof chat show - along with a relatively straight performance of his track Only When I Walk Away.

Rumours of the pitter-patter of tiny feet have been circulating with regard to JT recently.
