‘Tis the season forMariah Carey’s iconic Christmas content.
The singer, 52, shared a teaser photo on Instagram with a clapperboard labeled “More Magic: MC x K x KF” following the news. Shecaptioned the photo"The Magic Continues…@appletvplus."
The holiday special will also feature the debut performance of Carey’s newest Christmas collaboration withKhalidandKirk Franklinfor “Fall in Love at Christmas.” The single will be released this Friday.
Last year, the “Without You” singer releasedMariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Specialwhich also featuredAriana GrandeandJennifer Hudsonas theyperformed a rendition of “Oh Santa!”
Inthe festive music video, Carey used a little holiday magic to recruit Hudson, 40, and Grande, 28, to join her in a workshop-style room full of giant presents, toy soldiers and dancing elves.
The special also featured a performance withSnoop Doggdressed as Santa Claus and Jermaine Dupri alongside him. Carey joined the two for a new version of “Sleigh Ride.”
In the video, Carey stood before three jack-o’-lanterns that read “It’s not time,” and waited for the clock to strike midnight. Once it did, she took a candy cane baseball bat to the middle pumpkin — and her iconic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” jingle played in the background as she got in the Christmas spirit.
Last year, the Queen of Christmas opened up about whyChristmas is such an important time for herin an interview forElle’s special digital holiday edition. In the interview, she said the holiday season is “maybe the one time I got to breathe for a second.”
“After I kind of emerged from my first relationship-slash-marriage [toTommy Mottola] I created the Christmases that I wanted to have,” she told the magazine, adding ofher troubled childhood, “A lot of very bad stuff happened to me when I was 12. But also, there is the spirit of that kid, that fighter who doesn’t give up, who does embrace who she is, even though the world didn’t understand that from my point of view.”
