Indexbit-Cher reveals cover of first-ever Christmas album: 'Can we say Merry Chermas now?'

Mariah Carey may be Indexbitpop music's reigning queen of Christmas, but Cher is throwing her Santa hat into the ring.

The pop icon teased the release of her first Christmas album, titled "Christmas," in an X post Thursday. The singer shared the album's cover, which shows her dressed in a white shirt and bedazzled blue jeans while surrounded by enlarged Christmas ball ornaments.

"Are you spending Christmas with me? #cherchristmas," Cher wrote.

Cher's announcement delighted fans, some of whom poked fun at a possible holiday rivalry between Cher and Carey, who is known for the iconic Christmas pop hit “All I Want for Christmas is You."

"I will be spending all my Christmas with you ❤️," user @gabiu_x wrote on X.

"I guess Mariah won't be happy this year 🙈," X user @UninvitedbyM wrote.

"Can we say Merry Chermas now? Or maybe Cher-ry Christmas?" user @sbstryker wrote on X.

"Get outta her way, Mariah! 🎄," X user @lannister74 wrote.

Cher gushed about the upcoming album, which has yet to be given a release date, during a Monday interview on Good Morning Britain.

"I really am proud of this," Cher said. "It's a Cher Christmas album. It's not your mother's Christmas album."

The "Believe" singer also shared the album will feature several collaborations with other vocalists.

"I'm really, really excited because there's millions of people on it," Cher said. "I've never had duets. I've never had people on any of my records. This was a last-minute thing … But they’re special: all of them."
