Ana GasteyerandRachel Dratchhave a good thing going.

The comedians first met in back 1999 when Dratch joinedSaturday Night Liveas a cast member alongside Gasteyer. They hit it off immediately, and now, 25 years later, the two are still close friends and frequent work partners.

Since their departures fromthe sketch comedy show, (Gasteyer in 2002 and Dratch in 2006,) the women have continued to collaborate on projects including their latest movie,A Clüsterfünke Christmas, which premieres Dec. 4 on Comedy Central.

For Dratch and Gasteyer, teaming up together has always come easy.

“We have a beautiful work marriage,” says Dratch. “We’re business husbands. It all works well.”

While the pair is similar in a lot of ways, when it comes to decorating for the holidays, they admit that they couldn’t be more different.

“Let me just say, this one over here, [Gasteyer] creates a winter wonderland in her home,” says Dratch. “I say there’s a Debbie Downer that lives within me. There is a Martha Stewart that lives within Ana.”

Adds Gasteyer: “I have the bottle brush trees, and I have a little village. But I don’t love eggnog.”
