Mariah Carey is the undisputed queen of Christmas. Her 1994 hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has become seasonal canon⁠, this year more than ever. The song is currently sitting at the number-one spot on Billboard‘s Hot 100—a product of its ubiquitous airplay this time of year and Carey’s tireless promotional efforts, no doubt.

One of those efforts is a brand-new music video for “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which just dropped on Friday, December 20. The clip is an update on the original nineties clip, featuring Carey dancing in seasonal garb amidst a winter wonderland. It takes festive to a whole new level.

And sweet, too. Carey’s 8-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, make an appearance in the video, as well as mixed-ish actor Mykal-Michelle Harris. I have to say, Moroccan and Monroe’s choreography skills are on point. Maybe we have two future pop stars on our hands!

It’s hard to picture the holidays without “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” but Carey almost didn’t record it. “That’s because it was so early in my career. I didn’t feel, from a strategic point of view, that it was time to do something like that,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “As much as I love Christmas, I thought that the record company was off. Obviously, I couldn’t have been more wrong.”

Mariah Carey also told EW, “I’m excited about the 25th anniversary [of the song]. It’s like everything coming together to give the song a celebratory moment. It’s hard for me to know how much people celebrate this song other than what I hear from friends and just what I read online, or just other things, of people saying that they really get into the spirit with it. That, for me, particularly as a songwriter, is huge.”
