All We Want For Christmas Is....

It's tiiiiiime!  

To kick off the holiday season, Mariah Carey, musical icon and self-anointed "Queen of Christmas," has announced the ultimate Mimi x Christmas experience and we’re booking our tix now.  

Timed to the 30th anniversary of Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas,” Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar - in partnership with Bucketlisters and Carey’s Black Irish liqueur brand - will pop up in Virgin Hotels in select cities including Chicago, Dallas, New York City, Nashville and New Orleans, from Nov. 15 through Dec. 29.  

In addition to festive cocktails like a candy cane-rimmed espresso martini and an Irish coffee sprinkled with edible flowers, the bar will be full of interactive activities like posing on an oversized wreath to recreate Carey’s Magical Christmas Special album cover, a “Letters to Mariah” station or booths with an "All I Want for Christmas is You" neon sign for photos ops.  

If you can’t score tix, here are some other festive pop-ups that sleigh:
