The trailer also features an interview with Carey.
“I just remember where I was coming from [and] wanting it to feel like a classic,” Mimi says in a preview clip shared on twitter by the Pop Crave (see above). “I said, ‘Let me try and get into the Christmas spirit.’ … I started writing and changing a Christmas song into a love song back into a Christmas song and kind of making it all one thing.”
The preview shows commentary from Carey, along with her longtime collaborator Randy Jackson, Variety music editor Shirley Halperin, Billboard’s senior chart director Gary Trust, and Carey’s longtime backup singer and friend, Trey Lorenz, who reflects on how “All I Want for Christmas is You” became a surprise hit, per PEOPLE.
“It’s just so catchy. The harmonies; the way the music was done,” Lorenz says.
Carey shared a video in November featuring new footage from her “All I Want for Christmas is You” music video. She also re-released” Merry Christmas” as a two-disc deluxe edition.
