Carey -- now in bed wearing Christmas PJs -- picks up the call and hears a hearty \"Ho, ho, ho!\" from Santa. \"It's time!\" she sings, then cheers, \"Woooo!\"
And indeed, the holidays are now in full swing for the singer.
On Friday, she released \"Merry Christmas (Deluxe Anniversary Edition),\" commemorating the 25th anniversary of her iconic Christmas album. The two-disc set features previously unreleased recordings, bonus material and new packaging.
Carey shared a new music video for \"All I Want for Christmas Is You,\" including never-before-seen footage from the original video shoot in upstate New York in 1993.
And if that isn't enough Christmas cheer for you, Mariah's \"All I Want for Christmas Is You\" tour kicks off with Las Vegas dates on Nov. 22 and runs through Dec. 15.
