We all know the big holiday hits from Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé. Now Cher steps into the Christmas spotlight with “Christmas Is Here”. The song talks about tough times, healing, and not being lonely this year.
Then Cher walks in with “Christmas Is Here” and the whole game shifts. This is not background music for wrapping gifts. It sounds like a message from someone who has seen hard years and still chooses hope. She sings about how “we’ve been through the worst” and still promises, “You won’t be lonely, baby, not this year.”
The production feels warm and modern at the same time, with big, glowing drums and rich backing vocals. Her voice cuts right through all the noise of shopping, scrolling, and rushing, and it lands in your chest.
Remember, this is coming from an artist whose 2023 Christmas album was her first holiday record after almost six decades in music. Cher is still adding new songs to the Christmas playlist in 2025 and somehow making it feel fresh.

It started in 2023 with “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” the loud, glittering lead single that opened the door for a whole new Christmas sound. While “Christmas Is Here” feels like the heart-to-heart moment after the party, “DJ Play a Christmas Song” is the reason the party started in the first place, and it turned Cher’s first holiday album into the best selling Christmas release of that year and pushed her back onto holiday playlists everywhere.

“Believe” is where her full dance-pop rebirth began, with the bold electronic sound and the famous vocal effect that changed pop music. The same creative team who shaped “Believe” later powered her Christmas project, including “DJ Play a Christmas Song.” When you hear the pulsing beat, the empowering lyrics, and that iconic hook, you can trace a straight line to her 2020s holiday era.
