General tickets for the newly announced shows will go on sale September 25.
The centerpiece of Mariah Carey’s Christmas repertoire remains “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Released in 1994 as part of Merry Christmas, the song has become an annual streaming and chart phenomenon, returning to the top of charts around the world each holiday season more than three decades after its original release.
Mariah Carey’s live Christmas shows have developed into a recurring part of the holiday concert calendar. Her Beacon Theatre run, All I Want for Christmas Is You: A Night of Joy and Festivity, began in 2014 and continued through 2019 before expanding into additional international dates. She followed it with the four-show Merry Christmas to All! arena run in 2022 and the 16-date North American Merry Christmas One and All! tour in 2023.
The 2024 Christmas Time arena tour marked the 30th anniversary of Merry Christmas, while Carey continued the tradition with a 10-show Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live in late 2025.
The European dates also mark Carey’s return to a full festive production in the UK after an eight-year gap.
