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.
