Mariah, 49, recently teased the first look at the brand new music video for her hit song – 25 years after its initial release.
The re-imagined video shows Mariah dressed in a Santa-inspired costume.
Set in a winter wonderland, Mariah is crooning in the white-fur trimmed red belted dress with dancers in matching candy cane striped dresses with silver sequin skirts behind her.
Two Santa Claus’ can be seen ice skating while snowmen also dance amid the dazzling Christmas trees and a picturesque white house.

It is a similar but modernised version of the original video, which saw a then-24-year-old Mariah dressed in a padded red snowsuit as she frolicked in the snow with puppies and Father Christmas.
