Flashback Friday: Mariah Carey ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’

It's beginning to look like Christmas... and sounding that way too! As we dust off the holiday classics we all love. Through the years many different artists have covered the traditional songs like 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town','The Christmas Song','Jingle Bells' and so on. In 1994, Mariah Carey released an original song which instantly became one of the classics. It's popularity remains so strong that Billboard ranked it #1 most played last year and will likely be again this year.

The song about being with that someone special being more important than any presents. Add in the upbeat and fun melody along with Mariah's A+ vocal treatment all make up the fine ingredients for its success. The festive winter video shows Mariah playing around in the snow, sitting in Santa's lap along with a dog wearing reindeer antlers.

Take a look as we get into the season and I wish a very happy one!
