Heather Morris made her Instagram debut with this hilarious skit depicting a playful and an awkward exchange with Santa. The ‘Glee’ alumna captions the clip with simply, “When you give a mouse a cookie 🍪,” a reference to the popular children’s book. The clip shows Morris inquiring with Santa about how he goes about checking the list while it seems to be a tour of his workshop facility.

The clip starts with Morris setting Santa up with blatant giddiness. She says, “Santa? Santa. In the flesh. Wow. What a magical…,” then she says out loud the awkwardness that seems to linger between them. “Sorry, we’re awkward.” She goes on to grill Santa with all her comedic timing: “So, Santa, listen, I say this with all the love, but so you make a list and only check it twice?” Santa confirms it, and Morris, with all her comedic flair, says: “No. That’s why I say it with all the love. Mr. Claus. Seems a lot to me.”
Morris stays in character through the whole hilarious video and walks with Santa to “our facility, obviously, with the bolts and the nuts and the wrenches and God knows all the technical names that you probably don’t know,” as described by Morris. The video ends with the proclamation, “Heather Morris, priority talent,” while she checks something off on a list.
The fans enjoyed the comedy to the point of excitement. Another user praised Morris, “Your timing is razor sharp,” while another made associations with the ‘Glee’ character: “Must’ve been after Brittany found out that Santa isn’t real 🙂🥲,” alluding to Morris’s character’s notorious gullibility in the hit musical series.
The children’s book cited by her captions got a lot of the followers walking down memory lane. “Omg I used to love that book,” wrote one. Another contributor gave a simple, “That’s the best book ever,” referring to the classic “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” tale that inspired Morris’s caption.
Many followers laughed at that very cute accusation against Santa for his awkward list-checking routine. One cooperative fan commented, “This was so interesting to watch! I did laugh though ‘you…only check it…twice?’ 😂 Mom brain immediately went ‘oh he missed something’” reminiscing how Morris’s delivery will land home with many who constantly check up on sick children.
The physical resemblance between Morris and the comedian did not escape comment either. “You and Courtney Miller from smosh are twins,” another fan commented, with many agreeing in reply comments that they first mistook Morris for the internet personality.
To silence some international fans, one wrote in Spanish, “Si corazón, lo que tu digas🥰,” while another went, “Es como ver un ex,” though whatever for comparison remains ambiguous.
Many praised the production quality and Morris’s performance in the video, with one fan quipping, “Thanks for the appearance. I think that will win you an academy award 🥇. Made me smile and as always looking beautiful. ✌️😊,” while “The one with the snap was giving Mike Meyer’s ‘Cat in the Hat’ level of sass 🤭,” with another comparing the grade of sass with the one delivered by the well-known comedian.
