Since most Christmas music seems to be old holiday classics like Jingle Bells and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, it’s not the easiest thing in the world for a pop star to introduce new holiday songs that having any kind of staying power. But, in 1994, Mariah Carey changed the Christmas music game with her hit All I Want For Christmas Is You, and 25 years later, she is celebrating the song with a new video and a limited engagement holiday tour.

According to Too Fab, All I Want For Christmas Is You from Carey’s album Merry Christmas is one of the best-selling singles of all time in any genre, as it has sold 16 million copies worldwide. To celebrate the anniversary of the album – and the enormous success of the track – Carey is re-releasing a two-disc deluxe edition of Merry Christmas and she has given fans a new video of the song that features unreleased footage of Carey from the 1990s.

In addition to the video and the re-release of the album, Carey is hitting the road starting November 22nd for a few shows in her All I Want For Christmas Is You holiday tour, which is presented by the Hallmark Channel.

“Mariah will bring an extravagant, festive outing that only she can deliver to limited cities across the U.S. this winter,” reads the tour’s press release. “Her special run of can’t-miss shows will bring out the festive spirit in fans of all ages.”

The tour will begin in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace, where Carey will perform shows on November 22nd, 23rd, 27th, 29th, and 30th, and then from December 7th through 15th, Carey will have shows in Atlantic City, Washington DC, Uncasville, Connecticut, Boston, and New York.

Tickets for the tour are now on sale, and $1 from every ticket sold will benefit Toys for Tots. Fans can also bring unwrapped toys to the show which will be collected for kids in need.

For fans of Carey who want to commemorate the 25th anniversary of All I Want For Christmas Is You, they can purchase any of the 27 Amazon products the singer selected for her holiday gift guide, which includes a Funko Pop Rocks Christmas collectible of the legendary singer wearing the same outfit she wore on the cover of the 1994 Merry Christmas album.

Other must-haves on Mariah Carey’s holiday list include diamond-shaped drinking glasses, a Bluetooth-enabled LED vanity mirror, and a Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable with Speakers.
