Cher - 'Christmas'
Who knew Cher would slay a full album containing Christmas songs? This is what she did in October 2023 as she kicked off the holiday season months in advanced with "Christmas."
The pop star dropped her 27th studio album and her first one in over a decade as her previous album, "Closer to the Truth" was released in 2013.
The record contains some original songs as well as cover of Christmas classics, but what struck the most with fans, and even Kelly Clarkson, was "DJ Play a Christmas Song" which is a perfect track to play if you feel extra jolly.
The album featured some talented artists like Michael Bublé, Darlene Love, Stevie Wonder, Tyga, and Cyndi Lauper.
Pentatonix - 'The Greatest Christmas Hits'
Pentatonix has been synonymous with the holiday season for years now as they love releasing Christmas songs almost every single year.
For 2023, the group, consisting of Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Scott Hoying, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee, decided to drop a compilation album titled "The Greatest Christmas Hits" which features over 23 songs from their previous records.
To celebrate the release and to start the holiday season, they went on tour which started on November 2023.
The two-disc album features tracks like "Frosty the Snowman" featuring Alessia Cara, "Kid on Christmas" featuring Meghan Trainor, "Thank You," "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," and many more.
