A Cherry Cherry Christmas is the third Christmas album and also the twenty-eighth studio album by singer-songwriter Neil Diamond. The album contains five new tracks, and nine tracks compiled from his previous two Christmas albums. It was released on October 13, 2009. The title track is a new Christmas carol written by Diamond. [2]
The album includes a cover of Adam Sandler's " The Chanukah Song", which Diamond recorded because, he explained, "There are so many beautiful Christmas songs around and so few Hanukkah songs." [3]
