Sonny and Cher never made a holiday album together, but they did record multiple Christmas specials for their
Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, which ran for four years in the early 70s on CBS. Added together, the specials constitute enough jingles for an album, and luckily, a DVD was released in 2004 devoted to all of these Christmastime shows. It s seriously delightful, with special guests including Bernadette Peters and some old TV personas I can t place. These episodes air during the era of Nixon s potential impeachment, and the show s struggle to create joy around impeachment news is particularly relatable.
