Hozier Delivers 'Too Sweet' and Pogues Cover on SNL Holiday Episode

The Irish singer-songwriter performed his chart-topping single and a reimagined version of 'Fairytale of New York' during Martin Short-hosted season finale.

Hozier performed his 2024 hit single 'Too Sweet,' which topped the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year, marking his return to SNL after a decade.
The performance of 'Too Sweet' followed its inclusion on the surprise March release of his 'Unheard EP,' featuring tracks initially left off his 2023 album 'Unreal Unearth.'
He also delivered a rendition of The Pogues' 1987 holiday classic 'Fairytale of New York,' altering a controversial lyric to replace a slur with 'You’re cheap and you’re haggard.'
The SNL appearance comes as Hozier prepares to headline the 2025 Reading & Leeds Festival, marking another milestone in his career.
This episode, hosted by Martin Short, served as SNL’s holiday season finale, featuring festive promos and nods to Christmas traditions.
