Mariah Carey surprises fans with festive new music video for her smash holiday hit featuring appearances from her kids and Miley Cyrus

Mariah Carey surprised fans on Thursday as she released a new music video for her hit song All I Want for Christmas Is You.

The Queen of Christmas, 54 – who lost the trademark battle for the moniker – shared footage from her Merry Christmas One and All! concert tour in the video, titled All I Want for Christmas Is You (Festive Lambs Edition).

The clip featured appearances from her twins, Monroe and Moroccan, 12, as well as singer Miley Cyrus, 31, who was pictured in the audience at one of the shows.

Merry Christmas One and All! is the ongoing twelfth concert tour by Carey.

It began on November 15, 2023, in Highland, California, and is set to come to an end on December 17, 2023, in New York City, after 16 dates.

The video started out with Mariah getting ready in her glam room, followed by clips of excited fans gathering outside the concert venue.

The footage then cut back and forth between the fans and Mariah’s preparations for the show.

At one point she was seen in a plunging silver gown holding a sash that read ‘Queen of Christmas.’

Another one of Mariah’s festive outfits included a sleeveless red gown with gold stars embellishments and dangling infinity symbol earrings.

She also dazzled in a red, black and gold bodysuit that showed off her toned legs.

During her practice the star wore a black dress with a black leather jacket.

Her long blonde tresses were styled in loose curls.

Towards the end of the song her adorable kids joined her onstage, as they helped her with the magnificent finale, which featured a shower of snow confetti.

Her winter hit has shown remarkable staying power, and it has topped the Hot 100 singles chart every year in the holiday season since 2019, for a total of 12 weeks at number one.

All I Want For Christmas stands with only two other Carey songs to have stayed at number one for more than 10 weeks.

Her other hits with longevity include We Belong Together from 2005 and her Boyz II Men collaboration One Sweet Day.

That 1996 single spent 16 weeks at number one — a record at the time — while We Belong Together was at number one for 14 weeks.

During an appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Mariah admitted she never expected All I Want For Christmas Is You to become the mega hit it now is.

‘No, I didn’t [expect that] and normally when people ask me the “did you know” type thing, I pretty much say, “Yeah I had an idea or I knew,” but with this, I didn’t know.

‘It was the first Christmas song I’d ever written and I just wanted it to be real to me. To my little girls’ self… like, what are the things I think about Christmas, what did I want, what did I wish for?’

She continued: ‘When I first wrote it, I wanted it to be timeless. I didn’t want it to be something that felt like a specific year — I wanted it to be something that I could have heard as a little kid growing up.

‘I don’t know what version of Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer I heard as a kid, or Walking in a Winter Wonderland, but I just know that I loved those songs.

‘So I wasn’t thinking “oh my song is going to be as big as those songs” but I was like, “Let me do something that makes me feel like I’m getting the experience of listening to a classic.”‘

It comes after Carey has opened up about losing her ‘Queen of Christmas’ trademark battle last year in a candid new interview.

The pop icon was memorably blocked from exclusively trademarking the title, ‘Queen of Christmas’, by festive singer Elizabeth Chan in a landmark victory in November 2022.

Carey had filed an application to trademark the phrase in March 2021 – a move which infuriated festive singers Chan, 43, and Darlene Love, 82, with the former heading to court in an attempt to block Carey.

Speaking to People, Carey, who famously kicks off the festive season by ‘defrosting’ and warbling ‘It’s tiiiiiime’ in honor of her festive hit, said: ‘Last year wasn’t my most fun version of Christmas ever, so… come hell or high water, we’re going to have fun.

Detailing how she deals with stress, she said: ‘I would say it’s writing. It’s prayer. It’s like these little things that can take you from possibly being in a really bad mood to just being in a better place immediately.’
