Mariah Carey Ushers in the Holiday Spirit
The moment Mariah Carey flipped the switch at midnight on November 1, Christmas fans worldwide felt a burst of festive cheer. Known as the "Queen of Christmas," Carey officially initiated the holiday season with her annual video, showcasing her most famous holiday hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." This year's video partnered with beauty brand Sephora and even featured comedian Billy Eichner as a comically disgruntled elf, making it a delightful watch for fans of all ages.
The Tradition Continues
Since 2019, Carey has been entertaining her followers with fun videos marking the beginning of the Christmas season. These glimpses into her festive world have evolved in creativity, from Halloween-themed to the glamorous Sephora collaboration this year. The video highlights a lighthearted confrontation between Carey and Eichner, emphasizing the joy and sparkle of the season—a fitting tribute to the tradition of holiday celebrations.
Holiday Pop-Up Bars: A Magical Experience
Adding to the holiday excitement, Carey has teamed up with Bucket Listers to launch themed pop-up bars across four major cities, including New York and Los Angeles, starting November 13. These bars feature Mariah-themed decor and tasty cocktails, creating a joyful celebration space for fans. The opportunity for picture-perfect moments and signature beverages is sure to allure visitors and leave a lasting impression of holiday cheer.
