It’s that time of year! The pop superstar is hitting the road with a 13-date tour of her Christmas show.
She doesn't want a lot for Christmas.
But the Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, is bringing her festive holiday show on the road this year, including a stop at Boston's TD Garden.
The Merry Christmas One And All Tour will kick off on Nov. 15 in Highland, California, and wrap up at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Dec. 17. Carey will be in Boston on Dec. 11.
Tickets go on sale on Friday for the general public, and several presales will begin Wednesday.
Carey joked on X that the "actual defrosting has begun," referencing a social media joke that the pop star thaws out every year ahead of the holiday season to spread cheer and reclaim her thrown as Queen of Christmas.
The singer/songwriter released her first Christmas album — "Merry Christmas" — back in 1994, which featured the now inescapable holiday classic, "All I Want for Christmas is You." Carey's holiday popularity has reached stratospheric heights in recent years, with "Christmas" hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in 2019, a quarter century after its initial release.
