"SNL" in 3D? Can you imagine?

In this week's "Saturday Night Live" promos, host James Franco and cast member Cecily Strong are ready to kick the holiday season into high gear, and they want to do something special for the people. Strong and Franco exchange gifts, experience a sandwich holiday miracle and take the show in an experimental new direction by doing it all in old timey black and white and 3D.

Though, 3D glasses would make for an interesting performance by this week's musical guest Nicki Minaj!

"Saturday Night Live" airs Oct. 26 at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
