Since its debut in 1994, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has become one of the preeminent holiday classics, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time ever in 2019.
This year, Carey will be hosting a pair of holiday-themed concerts in New York and Toronto, with the New York show being filmed for the upcoming TV special “Merry Christmas To All”.
