Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special

Santa Claus assigns Billy Eichner to revive holiday spirits for everyone and enlists Mariah Carey to help. Billy travels to Carey's side to explain the mission and stakes. Carey considers the plea and agrees to join the cause.

Carey is in her New York City apartment with her kids when Billy's urgent call arrives. She discovers a sleigh hidden behind her fireplace and decides to take off to join Billy. She heads out on the mission to lift Christmas spirits.

Carey lands at the North Pole where holiday cheer is at its lowest. She proposes staging a festive Christmas concert to lift spirits around the world. Billy is convinced they can pull the show off despite the tight timeline.

They brainstorm a setlist, including 'When Christmas Comes,' and scramble to fit it into a compressed schedule. Billy worries there isn’t enough time to stage a proper show. Carey remains confident and pushes to make the production work.

Woodstock flies in and Carey turns on the TV by pulling the antennas to reveal the Peanuts segment 'Christmas Time Is Here.' Linus and Charlie Brown realize that Christmas is truly about spending time with loved ones. The moment underscores the value of friendship and family in the holiday season.

Carey sneaks away to the toy factory to watch the elves at work, which alarms Billy. She is joined by Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg and Jermaine Dupri, who add star power to the mission. The expanded team helps amp up the holiday plans.

At six o'clock, the elves stream out to perform a ballet featuring the Sugar Plum Fairy, played by Misty Copeland. The display adds festive energy and signals that the show is nearly ready. Carey and Billy observe the preparation with a mix of awe and urgency.

Carey and Billy leave the North Pole cabin to search for her but become lost in the forest. They follow a guiding star and eventually discover the correct path back. A wrong turn nearly derails their return, but the star leads them to safety.

Back in New York, Carey wakes in her apartment convinced it was all a dream. Billy appears, proving the countdown to the Christmas concert is real and the show is about to begin.

Midway through the concert, Billy accidentally cuts the power, leaving the stage in darkness. Carey switches to a candlelit performance of 'Silent Night' that fills the venue with warmth and emotion. The moment demonstrates resilience and keeps the celebration alive.

Carey delivers a heartwarming speech about celebrating love and light after a rough year. The audience responds with renewed joy as the music returns and the mood brightens. The concert's message resonates beyond the stage.

Carey returns for an encore performing 'All I Want For Christmas Is You.' Little Mimi regains her love for Christmas, singing along and helping spread cheer with the crowd. The North Pole special ends with a joyful sense that Christmas is saved.
