Mariah Carey is reclaiming Christmas cheer in 2023 after a less-than-ideal holiday last year. The iconic singer, renowned as the Queen of Christmas, is on a mission for a festive comeback. Embarking on a “Merry Christmas One and All” tour, Carey promises surprises and duets, ensuring this year’s celebrations outshine the last. Join her for a magical Yuletide experience filled with timeless hits and holiday joy.
Embracing the Yuletide Spirit
In the realm of holiday cheer, even the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, occasionally encounters a less-than-merry season. However, in 2023, the 54-year-old vocal powerhouse is determined to rewrite that narrative.
Living in the Moment
“Years? What are years? I’m unfamiliar with them,” Carey playfully remarked in a recent digital cover story with People, emphasizing her preference for living “Christmastime to Christmastime.”
“I’ve been looking forward to this Christmas for, like, the whole year,” she continued. “Since last year —because last year wasn’t the greatest. I’m thankful for them all, but it wasn’t my most fun version of Christmas ever.”
A Spectacular Redemption: The “Merry Christmas One and All” Tour
To compensate for the perceived lackluster holiday of the previous year, Carey embarked on a grand 14-city tour, aptly named “Merry Christmas One and All.” The tour, concluding on December 17 with a grand finale at Madison Square Garden in New York City, aims to recapture the enchanting holiday spirit.
Musical Dominance and Evergreen Hits
A five-time Grammy winner, Carey is renowned for her consistent dominance in the Christmas music market. Her timeless hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” released in 1994, continues to reign supreme, currently holding the No. 4 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated December 2. Impressively, the festive anthem has spent a collective 12 weeks at No. 1 over the years.
“I’ve been working day and night on this one,” Carey shared about her tour preparations. “I’ll be doing songs I’ve never done before, some duets. I’ve got to keep some surprises.”

Embracing the Diva Label
In a candid conversation with People, Carey addressed the oft-used “diva” label, refusing to shy away from it. “I still define the word ‘diva’ the way it is in the dictionary,” she asserted. “It’s a successful singer, usually a soprano, typically in the opera field.”
Acknowledging the term’s common use, she added, “So many people that I know that are called ‘divas’ all the time, don’t take offense to it. If someone’s like, ‘The diva, so-and-so.’ Who cares? Why is it a big deal? Just take it and be on your merry way.”
