Jimmy Kimmel delivered 'The Alternative Christmas Message' on Channel 4 to the United Kingdom, where he sharply criticized Donald Trump's second term in office. Jimmy Kimmel warned of a rise in fascism and accused Donald Trump of behaving like a king and undermining democratic institutions in the United States. This address followed a brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show, 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', by The Walt Disney Company — American Broadcasting Company in September, after comments Jimmy Kimmel made regarding the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Donald Trump had celebrated the suspension and called for other late-night hosts to be fired, sparking debates about freedom of speech and press.

Jimmy Kimmel used his message to apologize to the United Kingdom for the current state of the United States, describing it as 'a right mess' and urging the United Kingdom not to give up on the United States.
