Mariah Carey's timeless 1994 holiday album Merry Christmas returns to vinyl, featuring the iconic single "All I Want for Christmas Is You", co-written and produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff, the album blends classic Christmas charm with tinges of gospel, 50s rock n roll and 90s R&B. The album's Christmas-inspired lyrics and timbres, complete with sleigh bells, piano, and chimes, make the album a holiday essential.

Following the success of Music Box, Carey and her then-husband Tommy Mottola defied industry doubts to record a Christmas album, quickly crafting the album's firs single "All I Want for Christmas Is You" in mid-1994. While the single initially charted at number six on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart, its popularity soared over time, topping charts in over 30 countries and becoming one of the best-selling digital singles ever. By 2023, it had earned $100 million in royalties and was inducted into the National Recording Registry. The success of Merry Christmas helped establish Mariah Carey as an essential part of the holiday season. She's since built on this with Christmas-themed concerts, specials, and merchandise. The album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling holiday albums of all time.

2024 30th-Anniversary reissue pressed on zoetrope picture disk vinyl, released via Legacy Recordings.
