Mariah Carey appeared on Instagram this Sunday to give a warm welcome to the month of December.

The 55-year-old 'Queen of Christmas' dazzled her nearly 14 million followers as she shared a slow-motion video clip soundtracked by her signature holiday song, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The singing sensation was clad in a red, low-cut, V-neck gown with long sleeves and coordinating gloves.

The curve-hugging number boasted draped wrapping at the hips, accentuating the veteran musician's figure.

Carey, who shares 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-husband Nick Cannon, wrote in the caption, 'Walking into December like…'

Her golden blonde locks were styled in a side part with a sideswept bang as she walked toward the camera in slow motion in the snippet.

The Fantasy hitmaker is currently hitting stages across the country as she performs her Christmas Time tour.  

The tour was announced in August and it celebrates the 30th anniversary of her timeless holiday hit, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The first show was on November 6 in Highland, California, and the final concert is slated for December 17 in Brooklyn.

Mariah's setlist is rounded out with 26 songs and the concert is around 90 minutes-long.

Audiences will enjoy renditions of the superstar's biggest, most recognizable songs as well as holiday classics.

It's become customary for Carey to promote her mid-90s Christmas album during the last two months of the year.

The lead single is ubiquitous around the holiday season as fans push it back to the top of the music charts year after year.

Carey shared the story behind her biggest release, which she composed with 66-year-old Brazilian songwriter Walter Afanasieff, in a 2023 interview with Parade.

'I started writing that on a little DX7 or Casio keyboard that was in this little room in the house that I lived in at the time in Upstate New York lifetimes ago,' she recalled.

At the time, she said, she was 'just writing down everything that I thought about. All the things that reminded me of Christmas that made me feel festive that I wanted other people to feel.'

Despite widespread reports that the tune took only 15 minutes to write, Mariah said the recording process was not as smooth.

'We did take some time doing the record because if you listen to all those background vocals and all that stuff, you can't do it in five minutes,' she confessed. 

She reiterated: 'It's literally impossible unless you had three choirs.'
