为了庆祝圣诞节,Mariah于1994年发行了她的圣诞专辑,Merry Christmas。这也是历史上销量最好的圣诞专辑之一。12月在专辑榜成绩为第3名(1994年12月16日),销量为5白金。

Merry Christmas很容易让人想到20世纪60年代女子组合Phil Spector的圣诞专辑A Christmas Gift to You。实际上,这张专辑就是收录了像Darlene Love的"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"以及传统歌曲"Hark! the Herald Angels Sing", "Gloria (in Excelsis Deo)","Silent Night"等。

专辑中Mariah也创作了不少原创作品。包括欢快的"All I Want for Christmas is You"( 这首歌是为Tommy Mottola写的,充满了对圣诞的幻想),哀怨的"Miss You Most (at Christmas Time)"以及充满圣诞感觉的"Jesus Born on This Day"。部分录音工作是在大教堂中进行,辅以教堂内小朋友 的嬉戏声,更增添了圣诞节的欢乐气氛。 Merry Christmas (Gold)

因为该专辑,Mariah获得第1届欧洲MTV奖“最佳女歌手”头衔。

2008年在澳大利亚发行了被称为Gold Album的黄金版本圣诞专辑,CD放置于一个铁盒中,铁盒图案如右。铁盒为烫压印刷,其中MC字样为突起。非常漂亮。

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Merry Christmas专辑中的第一支单曲。也是专辑中三首Carey-Afanasieff作品中的一支。这 是一首中节奏的情歌,充满了丰富的圣诞色彩。

值得一提的是,这首作品在日本相当的受欢迎。1994年11月该单曲首发。随后在1996年10月和2000年12月再次在日本发行。而日本发行的#1’sGreatest Hits以及The Remixes中也都收录了该曲目。在Sony再版的The Ballads专辑中,也将这首歌作为了英国版的Bonus曲目。

"All I Want for Christmas Is You"的音乐录影带是在圣诞节之前拍摄的,Tommy Motolla扮演了一个圣诞老人。而在1994年12月14日,MTV电视台的一个一小时Mariah电视特辑中,出现了一个黑白六零年代风格的新音乐录影带。All I Want For Christmas Is You (2009)

2009年圣诞前夕,Mariah Carey和Legacy Recordings为庆祝圣诞经典作品"All I Want For Christmas Is You"发行15周年,特制作特别混音并数字发行。这首混音由Mariah Carey特别制作,Low Sunday (Ron Haney, Bart Schoudel and Joey Arbagey)混音制作。2009年11月23日开始,该混音作品在美国各电子下载网站铺开。

"All I Want For Christmas Is You"每年都在Billboard Hot 100 Recurrents排行榜成为冠军(排行榜成立于2005年,追踪记录那些在当前受欢迎的老歌)。根据Nielsen SoundScan的统计,截至今日,这首歌已经下载售出了1600万次,成为Mariah Carey下载量最高的单曲,也使得这首歌成为史上最高销量的节日铃声,并得到RIAA的白金认证。

美国也发行了该2009混音作品的无编号宣传CD,曲目如下:

  • 1. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah's New Dance Mix 2009)
  • 2. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah's New Dance Mix 2009 Extended)
  • 3. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah's New Dance Mix 2009 Radio Edit)
  • 4. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Original Album Single)
