Most of the time, Mariah Carey’s holiday concerts do not feature opening acts. Fans come specifically for her and the festive experience she curates.

Mariah usually offers a mix of both timeless holiday classics and her own chart-topping hits. The setlist may include:

• “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (often as an encore)
• “Oh Santa!”
• “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)”
• “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town”
• “Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child”
• “When Christmas Comes”
• “O Holy Night”
• “Here Comes Santa Claus”
• “Christmas Time Is In the Air Again”
• “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”
• “Miss You Most (At Christmastime)”
• “Joy to the World”
• “Jesus Born On This Day”
• “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)”
• “The Star”
• “Auld Lang Syne”

Interspersed with these holiday hits, Mariah also performs some of her biggest non-Christmas songs. Tunes like “Fantasy,” “Hero,” “Always Be My Baby,” “Emotions,” “We Belong Together,” “Caution,” and her duet “When You Believe” with Whitney Houston add extra sparkle to the show.

Occasionally, Mariah’s children, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, join her on stage, along with special guests including her longtime collaborator Trey Lorenz and sometimes even her mother Patricia Carey. Depending on the city, unexpected celebrity appearances are always a delightful possibility.
