Celebrating 25 years of Mariah Carey’s all-time best-selling Christmas album and the Billboard Hot 100 ascend of her classic hit, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ to the top of the charts, a bunch of celebrities released a surprise video to the song.
Singing along to the lyrics, the video-montage features the likes of Ariana Grande, Normani, Ciara, Brandy, Missy Elliott, Katy Perry, Patti Labelle, John Travolta and several others, lip-syncing for their life to the Billboard Hot 100 #1 X-mas tune.
Reacting to the ‘surprise’ treat from her industry friends and admirers, here’s how Mimi reacted on Twitter:
“WOW! This is one of the best Christmas gifts I could ever have gotten. I am so thankful to all of my friends and favorite artists who participated in this video. You brought a huge smile to my face. THANK YOU! ❤️❤️❤️”
Continuing on the same line she also shared a few nice words to Ariana Grande’s feature on the song – which caught all our attention, considering how the two have been linked-up due to their similar singing styles. Grande has often cited Carey has one of her many inspirations and she was obviously moved by the subtle mention.
Here’s what Mimi said of her feature on the ‘tribute-song’:
I love that you did the ad-libs on the bridge!! Thank you❤️❤️❤️
