All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is to share a new video with her fans.
The self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, 54, announced Friday that she’s giving her fans — dubbed “lambs” — a new music video featuring never-before-seen footage from her song “Merry Christmas One And All!” tour.
In the new video, titled “All I Want For Christmas is You (Festive Lambs Edition),” Carey downplays her role as she puts the focus on her fans. Her “lambs” could be seen outside the concert spaces and on the stands in festive sweaters and hats.
The music video also highlights those who helped put the tour together, including Carey’s bandmates, backing singers, dancers and choreographers. Several scenes show them practicing routines and playing instruments backstage.

“Oh Santa!” the singer appears throughout the video leading her dancers on stage during rehearsals and live performances, changing costumes and filming promotional videos for the tour. Carey also shows off a variety of festive looks throughout the video, including a Nutcracker-inspired outfit made especially for the stage version of “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
The star’s 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe — who she shares with ex Nick Cannon — also make an appearance. Moroccan could be seen spinning a drum in one shot, while Monroe was caught dancing backstage with a red guitar in another.
