Carey will reissue her Merry Christmas album in a deluxe format
Mariah Carey has announced an exclusive limited engagement holiday run with her All I Want For Christmas Is You Tour, presented by Hallmark Channel. This tour marks a special milestone in the legacy of Carey’s beloved album, Merry Christmas, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this holiday season. Carey will bring an extravagant, festive outing that only she can deliver to limited cities across the U.S. this winter. Her special run of can’t miss shows will bring out the festive spirit in fans of all ages.
The All I Want For Christmas Is You Tour will be filled with Carey’s most recognizable hits, as well as the internationally celebrated music from Carey’s Merry Christmas album, re-releasing on November 1st, in recognition of the 25th anniversary (to the day!) of the album’s original release date.
Produced by Live Nation, the exclusive holiday run will kick off November 22nd in Las Vegas and travel the East Coast starting December 7th in Atlantic City before making stops in Washington D.C., Uncasville, and Boston. The tour will wrap December 15th in New York, NY at Madison Square Garden – which is the first time Carey will perform her Christmas show at the venue.
Carey will offer her fan club members first access to tickets with a pre-sale starting Tuesday, October 1st at 10 am local time through Thursday, October 3rd at 10 pm local time. Fans who pre-order the Deluxe Anniversary Edition of Merry Christmas will receive an exclusive pre-sale code valid from Tuesday, October 1st at 11 am local time until Thursday, October 3rd at 10 pm local time. Citi is the official pre-sale credit card of the tour. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase pre-sale tickets beginning Wednesday, October 2nd at 10 am local time until Thursday, October 3rd at 10 pm local time through Citi Entertainment.

One dollar from each ticket sold will benefit Toys for Tots, a 72-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, which provides happiness and hope to less fortunate children during each Christmas holiday season. Unwrapped toys will also be collected at each event for donation to Toys for Tots.
The Merry Christmas reissue will be available as 2 CD Deluxe Anniversary Edition for fans on November 1st. The new deluxe edition includes the original album, plus a bonus disc featuring previously unreleased live tracks from Carey’s 1994 St. John The Divine Benefit Concert, rare remixes, a brand new, festive rendition of the “Sugar Plum Fairy” and additional seasonal tracks.
