Comedian Chelsea Handler celebrated her 48th birthday by hitting the ski slopes clad in a bikini for a photo op targeting Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Adorning her bikini top were the US and Canadian flags as she cheesed for the camera against the majestic, snowy landscape.
The photo she posted on her socials was captioned with:
"This one's for you, Tucker!"
You can see her tweet here:
\u201cThis one\u2019s for you, Tucker!\u201d— Chelsea Handler (@Chelsea Handler) 1677690157
The post aimed specifically at the MAGA political commentator appeared to be a nod to her ongoing efforts to trigger him after Carlson recently ridiculed the comedian for not having children.
Last month, Carlson called Handler a "deeply unlikable woman who never had kids" in response to her parody video glorifying not having kids.
In response to being lambasted by riled misogynistic conservatives, she clap backed:
"Why would I even need my own children when I get to hear these crybabies all the time?”
She promised to keep pushing Carlson's buttons by making triggering clips, which led to this year's birthday post.
Handler also posted a video of her living her best life out in the cold environment to demonstrate she wasn't in full ski gear for the sake of a gratuitous photo shoot.
The clip of her effortlessly gliding down the slope wearing the bare minimum was accompanied by Eminem's "Without Me."
She greeted another year of life around the sun in her Instagram caption, exclaiming:
"48! Salud!"
Twitter raised a toast for her celebratory post and dig at Carlson.

Skiing nearly nude to mark the occasion of her birthday appears to be a theme for Handler.
Last year, she celebrated her 47th birthday by hitting the slopes topless in her blue underwear with stickers of the American and Canadian flags respectively covering each of her nipples
That clip showed her descent with a beverage in one hand and a joint in the other, and additional flags of the two countries flailing behind her.
It was set to the song, "The Next Episode," by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Nate Dogg
Draped across her back was a banner with the name of her boyfriend at the time, comedian Jo Koy–who was seen following her down the slope in a snowmobile.
"Doing all the things I love with the man I love," she wrote in the post caption.
The pair split in July 2022 after a year of dating. They have been friends for over 20 years prior to getting romantically linked.
Back in October, she referred to Koy on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon as her "best buddy" she gets "to have sex with."
After having gone their separate ways, Handler reflected on her break up with Koy on an episode of Brooke Shields' Now What? podcast in December.
She said:
"I really believed that this was my guy. I thought, 'Oh my God, I won.' Like I got everything."
"I have my career, I have respect, I have my family, I have so many friends, I have all of these things. And then I thought this was gonna be the person I spend my life with."
Handler went on to discuss how their relationship changed her view on marriage, adding:
"I'm not that hard up to get married, but I was open to the idea of it, and we definitely discussed it at length because it was important to him."
"And then, towards the end of the relationship, it just became clear that this was not my person."
She touches on her new dating woes, "rowdy rescue dogs" and "vision for a future where men don't wear flip-flops" in her new Netflix special, Chelsea Handler: Revolution, which is now available for streaming.
