Merry Christmas One and All! was the twelfth concert tour by American singer Mariah Carey. Spanning 16 dates in the United States and in Canada, it began on November 15, 2023, in Highland, California, and concluded on December 17, 2023, in New York City.
Beginning in 2014, American singer Mariah Carey performed at an annual holiday concert residency,, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The event later expanded into a tour and ended in 2019,[1] when Carey's song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time since its 1994 release.[2] Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Carey performed four shows in Toronto and New York as part of her 2022 Merry Christmas to All! tour. The latter concert was broadcast as a special that aired on the CBS television network and Paramount+ streaming service.[3]
On October 2, 2023, Carey announced a new tour, entitled Merry Christmas One and All!, via her social media.[1] She is set to play 16 dates across the United States and Canada, the most expansive seasonal run of her holiday concerts thus far.[2] Ticket presales began on October 5, following one day of early access for American Express card holders. A general public sale commenced on October 6.[3] Ten days later, Carey announced a second show in Los Angeles due to high demand.[4] On October 30, a second concert in New York and a new date in Cleveland were added.[5]
Carey promoted the tour during a November 2 appearance on the American late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[6] On November 6, she participated in interviews on Good Morning America and Entertainment Tonight.[7] [8] Carey also spoke with local media outlets, including KTLA in Los Angeles.[9]
The tour received a positive reception from critics. Leena Tailor of Los Angeles said it "make[s] you feel like you’ve stepped right into a holiday snow globe".[10] Writing for Variety, Steven J. Horowitz called it a "highly polished show".[11] In the Atlanta Black Star, Kiara Washington thought "Carey looked beautiful and sounded angelic as always".[12] Aaron Williams of Uproxx wrote: "If the past few years have given you the mistaken impression that the veteran singer is 'just' a novelty act, her collection of both holiday mainstays and hits will certainly prove you wrong."[13]
The following setlist is obtained from the December 5, 2023, concert in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is not intended to represent all dates throughout the tour.[14]
