The singer performed during the Dec. 20 episode of 'Saturday Night Live,' which saw Ariana Grande serve as host

It only took a mere 40 years, but Cher finally returned to Studio 8H. The icon graced the “Saturday Night Live” stage as the musical guest Dec. 20, also the show’s final episode of the year. In a blond wig and pastiche of kitschy pants and a leather jacket, Cher, 79, performed her 2023 holiday song, “DJ Play A Christmas Song.”

Cher is getting both slammed and praised for allegedly lip-syncing her way through her 'Saturday Night Live' performance: 'Lip-sync if you want, Queen!'

Cher debuted a bold hair transformation with $6,400 sweatpants mid-show for her first 'SNL' performance in 38 years alongside host Ariana Grande on December 20. See the video, here.

You simply can’t discuss the holidays on SNL without mentioning Adam Sandler ‘s “The Hanukkah Song.” It’s gone down in history as one of the show’s most iconic moments of all time, and we’ve got to give credit where it’s due. But since the episode aired in 1994, the show has brought us even funnier moments that top this one.

Cher didn’t disappoint, delivering a spirited performance of “DJ Play a Christmas Song” and a rocking cover of Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run.” Both tracks appear on her 2023 holiday album, Christmas, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard ’s Top Holiday Albums chart that year.

Christmas music is a sacred holiday tradition and these songs defile that tradition by being so incredibly bad.
