In a new interview with The New York Times, Mariah Carey opened up about nearly missing out on becoming the Queen of Christmas 30 years ago.

Walking into the bar felt like arriving at a holiday party at Carey’s house – or so I imagine. More elegant living room or library than decked-out coffee shop, the space boasted Christmas trees – both flocked and classic – in seemingly every corner, garland-lined archways and nutcracker statues surveying the scene.

Singer Mariah Carey made a stop in Phoenix for her 2024 Christmas Tour to the delight of fans hoping to get into the Christmas Spirit a bit early.
