The album arrived back in 1994, and contained the record-breaking single and festive classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’. The live shows will feature renditions of timeless holiday classics alongside fan favourites from the rest of her discography.
In other Mariah Carey news, the singer was shortlisted at the start of the year for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class of 2024.
Others on the list included Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Mary J. Blige, Dave Matthews Band, A Tribe Called Quest, Peter Frampton, Foreigner and Kool & The Gang.
In February, she announced a Las Vegas residency that took place in April, dubbed ‘The Celebration of Mimi’.
Consisting of eight shows, it came as a nod to her seminal 2005 comeback album ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’ and featured fan favourites from the album, as well as other hits from across Carey’s back catalogue.
