Background[]
After the success of the Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special, reports of Carey potentially making another special with Apple TV+ began in December 2020.[4] A source explained to The Sun newspaper: "Mariah created the Christmas special for Apple as a one-off, but it was a runaway hit. No one could have predicted its success and it went to No. 1 in their charts in over 100 countries. Bosses at Apple now want to secure her for another special show next year. Mariah's team are, of course, completely behind it and everyone is going to do what they can to make it happen. They spent over £4 million on this year's show, but next year this could go even higher. Apple knows the worth of Mariah and are willing to splash the cash to make a follow-up even bigger and better."[4]
On November 1, 2021, Mariah posted a video to social media where she ushered in the holiday season.[5] At one point, the date "11/5" appears stamped on a gift-wrapped present.
