Mariah Carey Celebrates 25th Anniversary of Merry Christmas with Tour and Album Re-Release
Mariah Carey is celebrating the 25th anniversary of her chart-topping holiday album, Merry Christmas, this year and plans to commemorate the milestone with an All I Want For Christmas Is You Tour.
“Lambily! Celebrate the holidays with me on my All I Want For Christmas Is You Tour,” she shared on Instagram Monday.
Kicking off on Nov. 22 for a run in Las Vegas, the tour will head to the East Coast starting Dec. 7 in Atlantic City before making stops in Washington D.C., Uncasville, Connecticut, and Boston, Massachusetts. It wraps up on Dec. 15 in New York, New York at Madison Square Garden with what will be Carey’s very first performance of her Christmas show at the famed venue.
However, the tour wasn’t enough for the singer, who also plans to re-release her Merry Christmas album on Nov. 1 — 25 years to the exact day of the album’s original release date.
'All I Want for Christmas Is You' rose to the top of Spotify, YouTube and Billboard charts nearly a month out from the holiday. In fact, the song annually tops the list of most-streamed holiday songs and is officially the most-downloaded holiday single of all time.
