‘Riverdale’ Actress’s Dark Interpretation Of This Classic Christmas Song Will Change The Way You Listen To It Forever

By Callie Byrnes

Lili Reinhart, aka Betty Cooper on Riverdale, is one of the reigning queens of Twitter. Seriously, this girl is hilarious, and it totally makes sense why Cole Sprouse is (probably) dating her. She’s perhaps best known for live-tweeting each Riverdale episode, calling out people who harass her co-workers, and her thoughtful one-liners:

But when will Princess Peach learn to save herself?

Her newest hot take about the song “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” definitely has people talking.

But what if that was actually Santa who was kissing that kid’s mom, it wasn’t his dad dressed up… and no one did anything about it and this poor child witnessed his mother’s affair and sang about it and we all just sang along and laughed at his innocence?

Um, excuse me Lili, that’s my childhood you’re talking about. Can you not???

You’ve been dating @colesprouse too long 😑

I mean, it could make for a good story, though.

But what if Santa was really there for him? Showed up for school plays and the science fair and all those times his dead beat dad promised but failed to make good on. Good for mom finding love again and with Santa no less.

Well, I’m never listening to that song the same way again.
