Mariah Carey to release new video for 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' at midnight Friday
Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" may still sound as fresh as the day it was recorded 25 years ago, but the video is looking a bit dated, since it shows a 24-year-old Carey frolicking in the snow.
It's no wonder Carey has now created an updated version of her No. 1 holiday smash.
On Wednesday, the singer tweeted, "I can't wait for you to see my new video for #AllIWantForChristmasIsYou. Tune in for the live stream of the world premiere on YouTube tomorrow at 11:30pm ET! Submit questions for the live Q&A using the hashtag #AllIWantIsANewVideo."
Carey's Instagram includes the clarification that the Q&A will take place at 11:30 p.m. with the actual video premiere at midnight.
There's also a preview on Instagram showing the singer dressed in a Santa bodysuit in a winter wonderland setting with dancers, Santas, skaters, snow and more.
"I can’t wait to share this moment with you all!!!" she captioned the video.
It's not all about celebrating, though: Releasing a new video will increase the streaming numbers of Carey's holiday hit, which will help keep the song atop the chart longer.
