On the ( not quite) fifirst day of Christmas, Mariah gave to me: A special on Apple TV.
That’s right: “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Spec i al” i s coming Dec. 4 t o Apple TV+, the streaming platform announced Wednesday. Also set to appear in the star- studded program are Ariana Grande, Tiffffffffffffany Haddish, Billy Eichner, Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, Mykal- Michelle Harris, Misty Copeland and a partridge in a pear tree.
Executive- produced by the Queen of Christmas herself, the holiday extravaganza will feature a merry mix of musical performances, dance numbers and animated displays.
“Let’s get festive!” Carey tweeted Wednesday, along with a sparkly promotional poster featuring the Grammy winner smiling in the center of a giant evergreen wreath.
In tandem with the special, Apple will debut “Oh Santa!,” a new single and music video featuring Carey, Grande and Hudson. The pop power collab will lead a companion soundtrack including tracks from Dogg and Dupri, as well as a reimagined version of the Yuletide classic “Sleigh Ride.”
“Mariah Carey’s Magical
