Every night, she closes out the show with her 1994 hit All I Want For Christmas is You — which is dubbed as the most popular holiday song in the world. Last November, Carey opened up about the real history behind her famous track which she composed with 66-year-old Brazilian songwriter Walter Afanasieff.
She told Parade : 'I started writing that on a little DX7 or Casio keyboard that was in this little room in the house that I lived in at the time in Upstate New York lifetimes ago. 'Just writing down everything that I thought about. All the things that reminded me of Christmas that made me feel festive that I wanted other people to feel.
' Though it has widely been reported the track took 15 minutes to write, the hitmaker revealed the recording process was a much different story. 'We did take some time doing the record because if you listen to all those background vocals and all that stuff, you can't do it in five minutes,' she continued. 'It's literally impossible unless you had three choirs.
' Back in 2014, Billboard asked Afanasieff if he knew the song would amass the success it did when he and the blonde beauty were writing it at her New York home the summer of '94. 'Twenty years ago, Christmas music and Christmas albums by artists weren't the big deal that they are today,' he elucidated. 'Back then, you didn't have a lot of artists with Christmas albums; It wasn't a known science at all back then, and there was nobody who did new, big Christmas songs.
