Mariah Carey will be performing a pre-recorded rendition of her holiday No. 1 hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” before Netflix’s broadcast of two NFL games on December 25. Carey’s rendition of her modern Christmas classic will air before the day’s two holiday games on the streaming service, a 1 p.m. ET matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a 4:30 p.m. ET game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans. Carey and Netflix shared a promotional video to announce the pop superstar’s involvement in the days festivities, with Mimi saying in the clip, “This Christmas, we all get our wish. The NFL is live on Netflix, and I’ll be there too.”
Carey is finishing up her largest ever Christmas tour in celebration of the 30th anniversary of her beloved holiday album, Merry Christmas. That album’s lead single was “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which the RIAA has officially certified as 16-times platinum, making it the highest-certified single ever from a female artist.
