I remember watching this as a teenager......we never missed this show! Watching this makes me long for real entertainment not the garbage you get today.
Same here, Starr - Love Cher, but have to say I missed the chemistry that she had with Sonny. When they got together again for the show, to me it was even funnier now that Cher knew she had equal footing with Son. She does a beautiful job with the Some Children See Him ballad. Merry Christmas, Starr! :)
Robin Lee Gone. But not forgotten. We always have the hope of seeing and making more great television like this again sometime. Thanks to the internet, we can ALL record videos and share them with the world!
As a 67 year old guy, I must say that Cher still makes my heart feel like its flying, she is so pretty. I have always loved her, and those wonderful days. I am so thankful for being alive through those beautiful years, and would gladly return. Peace !!
Beauty and talent in one package. Cher was my icon as a girl. How I wanted to be like her. 66 years later I still admire her. Talent that never ages. Nor does her beauty😃.
Brings back good memories of my childhood. Mom and I watched the Sonny and Cher show weekly. I don't specifically remember this Cher episode after they divorced. But we may have watched it. Glad to see that Cher had some good songs about baby Jesus in this Christmas special.
@ChildOfThe1970s Jesus (Yeshua ben Yosef) was not born on December 25th. Some biblical scholars estimate he would’ve been born in early fall based on scripture. This date was first observed in 336 AD, some 24 years after the Roman emperor Constantine established Christianity as the state religion. Apparently, Pope Julius I chose to replace the pagan winter solstice feast in honor of Mithra, the “Unconquered Sun,” that had been officially recognized by the emperor Aurelian in 274 AD. As many Christians are aware, the modern Christmas celebration combines many strands of tradition including the ancient Roman pagan festival of Saturnalia (merrymaking, exchange of presents), the old Germanic midwinter customs (Yule log, decorating evergreen trees), the tradition of Francis of Assisi (displaying the crib, or crèche of Jesus), the medieval feast of St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas in Dutch, hence “Santa Claus”), and the British sending of greeting cards (1840s). The Puritan pilgrims did not celebrate Christmas because of its many unbiblical associations. The holiday was officially recognized in the United States in 1870. So it’s a giant mishmash of beliefs and traditions. It can be a beautiful Season of Light and Love, in any case.
Wish the ambience of this time could be bottled. Oh sure every generation has its troubles. But Holidays shined. Saturday morning cartoons when the parents slept in meant as many bowls of Honey Combs and Fruit Loops as a tummy could hold. Families spent time together. The drive in movies with popcorn and candy vendors. Every Holiday had TV specials that made a heart smile. Music was awesome. Every Child had perused the Sears and Wool Worths cataloge multiple times, with dog eared pages and shining expectations of Santa leaving gifts for Christmas. A new dress and shoes for Easter, shopping for Halloween Costumes in little boxes with plastic outfits and face plate masks held on with elastic. Huge spreads of food every Thanksgiving. 8 track cassettes, record collections. We played outside and walked to the store and no one bothered us. Then there is the world today.
What a wonderful Christmas show I forgot what a great comedic talent she is. Cher can do it all sing act drama and comedy to perfection. Love her character portrayals SOOO funny. I have several of Cher's CDs and I listen to them often. Thank you so much for sharing this 70's entertainment. Cher is a class act and chooses her own road.
Yeah, I often wondered if she became more famous because of him or he became more famous because of her. He did all of Carol Burnett's clothes for her show, but nobody modeled his more elegant clothes like Cher. She was his person runway model.
Cher is so down to earth and lets anything just roll off her back that one of my favorite parts of this episode is when she borrows the Santa Hat and beard from one of the orchestra members and he says his wallet is in there and she ad libs. And when she pulls the seat out for Chaz and lifts her up.
she is Chastity at that time...I hate when people rewrite history. She was a beautiful little blond girl and her mother loved dressing her up in girly girl outfits
I never got The Lennon Sisters in my youth, but now I'm old enough to realize the great vocal harmonies these women possessed. Trying to catch up. Cher did a great job here as well when she sang softly and tenderly.
I love this !!! I love old Christmas shows! This one is perfect!! Great mix of singing and acting. I like the ones with more acting scenes in them like like this! Thank you Cher!! ❤️
Chasity was a beautiful and absolutely adorable "little GIRL". NO amount of surgery or warped mind set will change HER DNA. God created her a GIRL not a guy!
@@opybrook7766 God also created us to love each other and not to judge each other. He sent Jesus to earth to teach us that. So, I think you have some work to do!
I started watching sonny and Cher when they first came on tv. Loved everything they did, I never missed a show,I never been to a concert, could never afford to pay the price for hThere tickets, love all of there songs when they were together, and the Cher shows just love all of her music and her movies
Not gone. Cher did her first Christmas album, and it was her 7th Decade #1. "DJ play me a Christmas song...I want to be dancin' all night long." Not bad for 77. She always says at her shows, "What's YOUR Grandmother doing tonight?
I was 10 years old when my husband was born Christmas day 1975 at 4:30pm.... He will be 48 tomorrow Christmas 2023.... I am 10 years older than my husband...
Haha, my daughter was into to trains and cars and is now as girly as it gets. My son liked doll housed and is as manly as it gets. Kids are kids and they like what they like. Childhood interests have nothing to do with gender. Sadly parents think it does and now we have kids mutilated and de-transitioning because of it😔
@@jmeree so the Dr.s mutilated her body instead of giving her counseling. You know there are people who really believe they should have been born without legs for example. No Dr. Will cut off a perfectly good leg or gouge out a good set of eyes. So the people cut off their own legs and blind themselves. Its an identity disorder and should not be treated with surgery. Do you think a Dr. Will do a lap band surgery on a skinny anorexic because she FEELS fat? No. So try and use the pea brain you were born with and think!
@@jacquelinelarsen1721 Do you know any trans people? Or have you done any research? Please Inform yourself. Just because you have an ill-informed opinion on how people should live their lives doesn't mean you have the right to cast judgment or condemnation. Ask yourself WWJD
@@jacquelinelarsen1721 Science, scientists, and anyone with a decent understanding of science and biology disagrees with you. And as for Jesus he wouldn't be a judgey dillhole, he just accepted people without telling them who they should be. Buuutttt you wouldn't know anything about that huh.
@@Janadu So...you find Chastity attractive...ok...to each their own form of " settling." I call them as I see them...I am just as entitled to go eeeeeeuuuuhhhh as you are to drool......Only in this case I'm not the one who is bat shit crazy....AND I MEANT " FLYS "old English DOES use the spelling flys exactly as I spelled it...you Grammer Nazi... I was referring to time passing for the old bat Cher and her counterfeit son in language she and Shakespeare could relate to.
I remember watching this episode. I thought it was great seeing Cher dressed up as Santa Claus. I thought it was good to see Cher do it for Chaz. It was heartwarming to see Cher do that. Well that's all I want to say right now. bye for now. Debbie
Christie Miller a trans person has always been trans even if they haven’t transitioned yet. Obviously as a child he had no choice over his identity at this time in the 70s. People don’t just choose to become trans like gay people don’t choose to be gay but are born that way.
Gina Romantica I have many trans friends and as an lgbtq person myself i have done much research on gender studies. What information do you base your knowledge on besides your own personal opinion?

i agree
I can't remember ever seen this show but it should be good.....RIP Cher's Mom
I was 8 yrs. old when this was on TV. I loved watching her and her beautiful costumes most created by the great Bob Mackie.
I was one and a half years old
She always looked like she was having so much fun!! 🤗
How refreshing, where are those days, gone forever.
Robin Lee Have a look at video of Cher's 70th birthday. For her,the days have never gone anywhere! 🙆💖
Wasn't funny at all tho'..
Her skin will forever be better than all of us !!!
Robin Lee Gone. But not forgotten. We always have the hope of seeing and making more great television like this again sometime. Thanks to the internet, we can ALL record videos and share them with the world!
Absolutely, wish we could go back in time. I watched Sonny & Cher and Cher show on her own ❤

Oh, that beginning with her doing White Christmas like an old time syren...then she is Cher again! What talent and beauty
This was my first Christmas with my husband and 1month old son. How time flies! Now I'm a great grandmother!
So beautiful..I miss these days gone by ...
Beth g Yes but bully for us . . . We have you tube!
quite often the best part of Christmas was the lead up to it with fantastic 70s shows like the fabulous CHER 🎄

I was a little over a month old when this show played ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I wish we could go back to when tv meant something I miss those days ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cher is so underrated
I remember watching these shows! I couldn't wait to see what she wore each week! Loved the Christmas Specials! The good old days!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Nostalgia is a beautiful, timeless treasure.
I love these old Cher & Sonny & Cher shows. Thanks for posting.

weren't they on Lawrence Welk first?
Such wonderful memories of my childhood!
Cher should do a Christmas album
yep, same. and do a xmas concert. :)
nita herman didn't she? Huh! Wonder why not? Maybe bc she likes to do different things and everyone has done a xmas album?
She probably did.
Yes! A hundred times, YES!!!
@Chocolate Donut Thunder and Hon-ney, I mean dooNUT, I mean, pastry filler. You haven't a clue, do you ?
Cher was/is amazing! I grew up with her (and Sonny) and she really is unique in her personality and talents. Cher, we love you!!
This is great! I’ve never heard Cher sing Christmas music before! LOL. Thank you for uploading this. Merry Christmas!!!
Same here!
I will ALWAYS ADORE Cher!
I love this !!! I love old Christmas shows! This one is perfect!! Great mix of singing and acting. I like the ones with more acting scenes in them like like this! Thank you Cher!! ❤️
Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎅🎄🎁📆⛄❄
Merry Christmas to everyone 💓🤺
And to you too.
Little Chasity was so cute, bless her sweet heart. She would have been a beautiful woman.
I wish they would put all the Sonny and Cher SHOWS back on t.v..
TY to whoever posted this 🎄
I applaud Chaz & Cher for both of them for doing what makes them happy & not careing what anyone thinks.And Cher for being such a supportive mother.
Chasity was a beautiful and absolutely adorable "little GIRL". NO amount of surgery or warped mind set will change HER DNA.
God created her a GIRL not a guy!
@@opybrook7766 , neither Cher nor Chaz care what a judgmental no-nothing like you thinks
@@opybrook7766
Yes but he does not feel as a girl!!!
And he wasn‘t happy as girl
Now he is happy
Thats all what matters
Whether you like it or not
@@opybrook7766 I am with you. DNA can't be changed! God created them male and female. People need to embrace who they are in God, not in the flesh!
@@opybrook7766 God also created us to love each other and not to judge each other. He sent Jesus to earth to teach us that. So, I think you have some work to do!

A whole evening of entertainment way overhere in Europe (where we don't get these AMAZING re-runs)... Thanks so much!
So wish we could get these back on British TV over the festive period love these great shows Christmas entertainment at its best

You mean I work my fu... I work hard all year 😂
Amazing show. Chaz tap danced so well.
I just loveCher voice! !!!!!!
I do too 😃
It hurts to see her with her little girl but her little girl is no more.
Exactly
I miss The Sonny and Cher Show and The Carol Burnett show and to some extent the Donny and Marie Show.
What ever happened to the Hudson brothers?
This special holds up very well!
Great childhood memories 🎄
I am here for the costume changes...
Originally telecast on December 21, 1975.
I love Cher and now my daughter loves her as well and she is only 10
Classic !! I was 12 on this night ! LOVE CHER !! @ 7:02 Cher..LMAO. ..ALSO @36:00 " Santa Baby " kicks ass !!
I love how every show shows cover her self so she can just surprise us
There is no one who compares to Fabulous Cher ✌💙 from Montana
The Lennon sisters were my favorite
I was 10 years old when my husband was born Christmas day 1975 at 4:30pm.... He will be 48 tomorrow Christmas 2023.... I am 10 years older than my husband...
Good forgive...little Chasity..such a pretty little sweet child.
I missed this one. I enjoy this one.
Christmas is in a few weeks very excited
Chastity: Race cars.
She knew before she knew.
She was better then that's just coincidence she was a child then
Haha, my daughter was into to trains and cars and is now as girly as it gets. My son liked doll housed and is as manly as it gets. Kids are kids and they like what they like. Childhood interests have nothing to do with gender. Sadly parents think it does and now we have kids mutilated and de-transitioning because of it😔
these guys were unlike Saturdaynight Live, they remembered their lines and didnt read cue cards. Cher and Redfox were total pros.
She wanted a new race car set. I wanted one too as a kid but I still love being a girl.
Jacqueline Larsen good for you.. she wanted to be a boy.. SO WHAT

Great song about Jesus!
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!
So 70s fabulous Great Show
Merry Christmas!
💖💖💖🤗
We need a new Cher Christmas, Yes, we need a new Cher Christmas. We need a new Cher Christmas right now‼‼‼
It's actually brilliant, the wholly skechy!
Chasity was so cute! 💋❤💕😘😍
She is a darling
Still has the same face. :)
Merry Christmas, everyone! ❄⛄🎁🎅🎄
WOW we never got to see the CHER Show in the UK. It really is of its time. Those US variety shows all followed the same formula.
thanks for this!!!
Watching her as a kid is where I developed all my body image issues.
Oh wow Cher looks good to me.
She is truly so Beautiful!!!!!
I remember watching this episode. I thought it was great seeing Cher dressed up as Santa Claus. I thought it was good to see Cher do it for Chaz. It was heartwarming to see Cher do that. Well that's all I want to say right now. bye for now. Debbie

It's only August but merry Christmas everyone.
R.I.P red fox
I watch that show every time with my parents when it was on it was a blast watch and steel is Cher is so freaking hot then
All that talent.
W0W!
I remember watching this show with my parents when I was three
Awwwww little chastity is tap dancing. Soooooo cute.🤗
Her last solo show was Jan. 4, 1976, maybe 2-3 weeks after this one, :-(
Personally, I love seeing the infamous brothers in their "jammies"! Gotta love the Bill, Mark and Brett of '75, eh?
Doreen Montak and

I wish this show and the sonny and cher show was on dvd and blu-ray
THANK YOU!
I love my great Christmas Show
I love Cher with the Lennon sisters doing corny big band...shows she had range
Great video from the past.
awesome
Beautiful
Beautiful show!!!!
