All I Want for Christmas Is You: The making of a classic holiday song
Manila Bulletin
|September 4, 2025
As September arrives, a captivating magic fills the air for many Filipinos, marking the official start of the beloved holiday season. This time of year, known as the 'ber' months, brings a vibrant sense of excitement and anticipation.
Twinkling lights begin to adorn shopping malls, and the cheerful sounds of Christmas carols fill the air throughout neighborhoods. The spirit of celebration awakens hearts, uniting families and friends in a warm embrace of joy and togetherness as they eagerly await the upcoming festivities.
The approaching Yuletide season can be felt all around us through festive Christmas songs, such as "All I Want for Christmas (Is You)" by Mariah Carey.
Often called the Queen of Christmas, Mariah knows that her Filipino fans start celebrating Christmas as early as September by playing her famous Christmas song.
In September 2024, Mariah kicked off the Christmas season with her Filipino fans. “Philippines, it's time (only for you!!) I hope you're all safe and well. Let’s celebrate together,” wrote Mariah in the caption.
Mariah, 56, shared a website dedicated to the Philippines, which includes links for fans to play her song "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
In early October 2024, the Grammy-winning artist shared another post related to her song. This time, she said that it was too soon to start celebrating Christmas around the world with "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
On social media, Mariah shared a post related to her hit song. "This is your captain speaking; welcome aboard, Mariah! We are headed for the North Pole," said the voice-over as the intro to her holiday song rolled in. Then Mariah said in a whispering voice: ''They always rush me." Mariah captioned her post: "To those asking ... Not yet!!!"
