The 5 Things We ALL Want For Christmas In Mariah Carey's New Special

@MariahCarey / Twitter

Mariah Carey is saving 2020 by bringing an all-new Christmas special to Apple TV+ starting December 4. It will feature guest stars, festive moments, and musical performances. The all-star cast includes Tiffany Haddish, Billy Eichner, and Snoop Dogg. Carey's twins will also make a special appearance.

A festive special is certainly what we all need right now. There are lots of information about the upcoming special that has many fans excited. Here are the five things from the special we're most looking forward to.

5. Tiffany Haddish

One of the big names that got people excited when the special was announced was Tiffany Haddish. When the teaser dropped last weekend, Haddish's role in the special seemed to be revealed. It appears she will play the role of narrator for Carey's Christmas journey!

4. Billy Eichner

Billy Eichner is another big guest star in the special. Last year, Carey did a special Christmas segment on Eichner's show, "Billy On The Street." From the looks of the trailer, it appears Eichner will play an elf.

3. The Soundtrack

In addition to a new special with live performances, Carey is also releasing a full soundtrack. As if the lambs could be any more spoiled in 2020. Carey has released her memoir, a double CD of rarities, and her entire back catalogue on vinyl. Sure, throw in a live holiday album while we're at it!

2. New Version of "Sleigh Ride"

According to the press release announcing the special, Carey will also perform a new version of the Christmas classic, "Sleigh Ride." The catchy tune has been done a lot over the years. However, we can't wait to hear Carey's own unique spin on the song.

1. Collab With Ariana Grande and J-Hud

What is perhaps the most exciting part of the special is her collaboration with Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson. The three will all sing a new version of Carey's 2010 Christmas single "Oh Santa!" Buzz of a collaboration started back in October when Carey tweeted an image of three director's chairs with their initials. Now that the partnership is confirmed, fans are speculating this could give Carey her 20th number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. Now that would be the best Christmas gift ever.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
