No one is more excited about the holiday season than Mariah Carey, and she prepared an early Christmas present for her fans this year. The Queen of Christmas will celebrate the holiday season by embarking on a brief 13-date tour across North America.

Carey’s Merry Christmas One & All Tour will kick off with a concert at Yaamava Casino in Highland, California on November 15. She’ll stay on tour until December 17, when she’s expected to perform her final concert at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York.

Carey owes her reputation as the Queen of Christmas to her timeless holiday hit “All I Want For Christmas is You”. This song was released all the way back in 1994, as a part of her first holiday album Merry Christmas, but its popularity endured for the decades to come.

After becoming a true pop culture staple, “All I Want For Christmas is You” finally hit No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in history in 2019, setting the record for the longest trip to No. 1. We’ve seen it top the chart every holiday season since, and it currently holds the record for the longest-running holiday song at No. 1, with nine weeks atop the Hot 100 chart.
