As usual, singers and musicians from all styles and genres will brave the New York City chill to deliver fun performances. This year the featured star is the iconic Cher, performing selections from her new album, Christmas, which includes the new original single, “DJ Play A Christmas Song.” Study up on the chorus so you can sing along…

DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s tough outside, but it’s love in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
