American singer Mariah Carey has once again marked the official start of the Christmas season. True to her tradition, she shared a special video on her social media platforms on November 1st.

This year, the atmosphere is unusual. The video begins in a New York nightclub, where Mariah Carey appears in a rock and rebellious style, with an aesthetic reminiscent of Halloween.

At midnight, the transformation is striking: the rocker gives way to the artist that the public knows and loves, dressed in a sparkling red and white outfit, perched atop a giant Christmas tree.

She is surrounded by iconic holiday elements, such as Santa’s sleigh, a snowy landscape, a polar bear, a penguin, and a nutcracker.

Mariah Carey launched this tradition in 2019, and its success has encouraged her to renew it each year.

The video is accompanied by her iconic song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” released in 1994 on the album “Merry Christmas.” This song, 32 years after its release, continues to dominate the charts of streaming platforms like Spotify, Deezer, and Apple Music, as well as radio playlists.

This song has generated $60 million in revenue for the singer over the past three decades.
