Best Holiday & Christmas Shows in November 2024

Mariah Carey at Allstate Arena

Mariah Carey

It's that time of year! On November 1, 1994, Mariah Carey changed the holidays as we know them by dropping the super festive anthem 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' from her iconic Merry Christmas album. Immediately racing to the top of music charts the world over, the bop has since become as standard every December as twinkle lights and candy canes, selling over 16 million copies. Join the undisputed Queen of Christmas (sorry, Mrs Claus) for a very special tour, Mariah Carey's Christmas Time!
