Quick, get the lights out of the garage \u2014\u00a0Mariah Carey<\/strong><\/a> has basically just declared Christmas open.<\/p>\n

The singer, 55, announced last night (October 9) that she is celebrating the 30 year anniversary of her iconic 1994 Christmas album, Merry Christmas<\/em>, by re-releasing its biggest hit, All I Want For Christmas Is You<\/em>, with new cover art. And Carey is leaning into the nostalgia factor by choosing to re-release the classic on both vinyl and cassette formats.<\/p>\n

In the new images shared via Instagram, she is seen wearing a figure-hugging \u201csexy Santa\u201d outfit, as well as a long, fluffy white gown, slashed to the thigh and trimmed with feathers. We\u2019d expect nothing less from the absolute undisputed queen of Christmas.<\/p>\n

But even self-confessed Christmas obsessive Carey has admitted it\u2019s a little early to actually listen to the song. \u201cWhile it is definitely not time to listen to Christmas music yet!\u201d she wrote in the caption. \u201cI wanted to share a glimpse of #MerryChristmas30 with you.\u201d However, many of her fans and famous friends have respectfully disagreed in the comments. \u201cOh yes it is!\u201d wrote DJ and producer D-Nice<\/strong>. \u201cMy tree is going up just after Halloween.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carey actually teased the news earlier in the week, sharing a funny Instagram Reel<\/a> in which she\u2019s seen yelling \u201cNot yet! Sorry! They always rush me!\u201d at her pilot on a private jet supposedly headed to the North Pole, with the familiar opening twinkles of the song playing in the background. Even Santa Claus<\/strong> himself, via his official Instagram account, agreed, commenting \u201cNot yet! We are not ready\u2026but SOON!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Since its original release in 1994, All I Want For Christmas Is You<\/em>, which Carey co-wrote with Walter Afanasieff<\/strong>, has become one of the biggest hits of all time. Back then, it only reached number six on the Billboard charts and number two in the UK and Japan. But, since streaming took over, it\u2019s become one of the best-selling digital singles in history, selling 16 million copies worldwide and hitting number one in over 30 countries in the weeks before Christmas, due to it being an absolute must-play in offices, malls and at holiday parties.<\/p>\n
