Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are going home for the holidays -- as hosts of Saturday Night Live.

NBC announced Tuesday the duo will double team the Dec. 19 episode, with -- get this -- musical guest Bruce Springsteen.

Best episode ever?

The timing, of course, is perfect as Poehler and Fey -- who hosted the 2015 Golden Globes together to rave reviews -- are co-starring in the upcoming comedy Sisters together, which comes out Dec. 18.

Fey made a couple of cameos on SNL earlier this season in the episode hosted by former 30 Rock co-star Tracy Morgan, who was marking his return to the stage following an accident that left him severely injured. But Fey herself hasn't hosted since 2013.

Poehler, meanwhile, hasn't hosted since 2010.

Also announced Tuesday: Ryan Gosling and Chris Hemsworth will oversee the show's Dec. 5 and Dec 12 editions, respectively.
