Mariah Carey has shared the first trailer for her latest holiday special Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues, arriving on AppleTV+ on Dec. 3rd.
The special will feature the live debut (and only performance) of her new seasonal single “Fall in Love at Christmas,” featuring Khalid and Kirk Franklin, a new rendition of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” as well her Christmas classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
“I can’t not celebrate Christmas with the world,” Carey says in the trailer; the singer previously declared on Halloween that we have officially entered Christmastime, foregoing the entire month of November.
Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues — which follows 2020’s AppleTV+ special Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special — is co-executive produced by Carey and directed by music video giant Joseph Kahn.
In addition to the festive performances, Carey will also sit down for an interview with Zane Lowe, as well as share her favorite Christmas moments alongside her 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
in London, joined by IDLES and Kojey Radical. He later collaborated with Fred Again.. on the electronic track “Lights Burn Dimmer,” which incorporates and reshapes elements from Jamie’s 2023 song “Hippodrome.”
During a conversation with Radio 1 presenter Jack Saunders on Wednesday, Aug. 19, Jamie called the collaboration a “big deal” for him. “That song, when I wrote it, I hadn’t realised until I heard Fred’s version how much hope was in the lyrics. I felt quite emotional when I heard Fred’s version, and his spin on it. That was really helpful for me, as I wrote that song at quite a difficult time in my life. To see it turned into a more euphoric thing was really quite lovely.”
Jamie will offer an early taste of the new album during a small, exclusive performance at Scala in London on Thursday, Aug. 20. The concert will be his first headline appearance since playing to 40,000 people at Finsbury Park, although he made a short guest appearance with Fred Again.. in February during the producer’s USB002 tour run at Alexandra Palace.
After breaking through in 2007 with the Mercury Prize nominated Panic Prevention, Jamie went on to release another four studio records, with each reaching the top 10 of the Official U.K. Albums Chart. He has also appeared at Glastonbury Festival on several occasions, including his widely praised headline performance on the Woodsies Stage in 2022.
