Watch the Campy Christmas Infomercial Ted Cruz Is About To Play During SNL

Hope you're ready for a campy Ted Cruz Christmas parody meets infomercial meets sanctioned campaign ad. The Texas Senator and 2016 presidential candidate will play the above ad in crucial Iowa TV markets during this weekend's "Saturday Night Live" broadcast, according to Cruz Communications Director Catherine Frazier. Cruz is no stranger to non-traditional campaigning, he has cooked bacon on the end of a machine gun and performed full-throated "Princess Bride" impressions on the trail in 2016. The above video features Cruz reading to his two daughters, along with his wife, in a traditional Christmas setting. However, the Christmas tales he tells are political satire.

CRUZ: I will audit him here or there, I will audit him anywhere!

NARRATOR: The whole family will enjoy reading stories like, The Grinch Who Lost Her Emails

CATHERINE: Read this one, Daddy!

CRUZ: Okay.
