\u201c22!!!! Truly grateful for this Christmas gift,\u201d Carey wrote on X at the time, alongside some Christmas-themed emojis. She later brought in 2026 with a performance on the New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve show<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n

Carey was awarded $92,000 after a judge dismissed a lawsuit relating to \u2018All I Want For Christmas Is You\u2019<\/a> late last year, too.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0NME\u00a0in 2021<\/a>, Carey reflected on making the snowy video for the single. \u201cWell, I remember certain things that weren\u2019t great about that time, but I also see my true happiness shining through,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone smarter than myself suggested I do a Christmas album as a young, young girl and I was like: \u2018Hmmm \u2013 doesn\u2019t that happen later in life?\u2019 And then I said, \u2018But you know what? I love Christmas!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

More recently, she was nominated for the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame<\/a>, but ultimately failed to make the final cut to be inducted<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariah Carey has announced a festive UK arena tour for 2026.
