Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to You

Setlist[]

"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (Intro)
"Oh Santa!"
"O Little Town of Bethlehem / Little Drummer Boy Medley"
"O Holy Night"
"Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) / Housetop Celebration" (With Randy Jackson)
"When Christmas Comes"
"Charlie Brown Christmas" (With "Big Jim" Wright, preceded by A Charlie Brown Christmas intro)
"Joy to the World"
"Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" (Dedicated to Make-A-Wish child MacKenzie, who needed a kidney transplant)
"O Come All Ye Faithful / Hallelujah Chorus" (With Patricia Carey)
"All I Want for Christmas Is You"

"O Come All Ye Faithful / Hallelujah Chorus" was performed twice, as Patricia Carey missed her cue on the first take. Additionally, the "When Christmas Comes" ending and "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) / Housetop Celebration" were performed one more time, albeit with Carey off stage.
The song sequence was changed for the broadcast. In reality, "When Christmas Comes" was performed between "Oh Santa!" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem / Little Drummer Boy Medley," "Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" was performed between "O Little Town of Bethlehem / Little Drummer Boy Medley" and "O Holy Night" and the order of "Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Joy to the World" was reversed.
