A line of text at the bottom of the screen said the appearance of his cartoon character Olaf was not approved by Disney.
Babies, children and young teens are seen drinking various alcoholic beverages throughout the video, which is described as a public service announcement.
Lyrics to the song went: "Well, Mother's Day is Sunday and Father's Day's in June. It's been a hard-ass time for families, feel like the animals in the zoo.
"Parents need some help these days. Kids could use some, too. So, given the special circumstance, we'd like to introduce a special rule: Let kids drink. Just like mom and dad. If they got a little buzz on, would it really be that bad? Let kids drink. Just a couple of sips. They'll be happier and funnier and they'll fall asleep by 6."
The video was filmed remotely in the homes of the cast members. The episode was the Season 45 finale of SNL.
