Heart Presents a Lovemongers' Christmas is a Christmas album and the twelfth studio album by Heart. The album was originally released in October 1998 with the title Here Is Christmas, as the second album of the Lovemongers, a side project involving Ann and Nancy Wilson, their longtime friend and collaborator Sue Ennis and Frank Cox.

In 2001, the Wilson sisters decided to re-release the album as a Heart album with no changes to the lyrics or music. The album was reissued in 2004 by Sovereign Artists with a different cover and two bonus tracks.
