Carey is spectacular. She wafts through the special mirage, crooning wistfully beneath the Northern Lights and demonstrating a masterclass in stiff line readings.

Rated: 4/5

This was the damnedest thing - like a freshly chilled glass of eggnog, but instead of rum or nutmeg, it's been constructed with mescaline.

NME (New Musical Express)

Sure, it's probably a song too long, but Carey wouldn't be the Queen of Christmas if she didn't indulge in just a little festive excess.

Rated: 4/5

Common Sense Media

Don't think too hard about it -- just enjoy a sparkly, shiny, 43 minutes of songs, dancing, mild humor, and holiday cheer.

Rated: 3/5

This special is fully wild, overboard, extra, next level, ridiculous, jubilant, a trainwreck and a masterpiece all in one.

Lambs (Mariah fans) are likely to have an absolute ball. But even if Mariah isn't your shepherd, there's still plenty to enjoy.

You know those programs that have the power to make us believe in good things? This program besides bringing all the magic of Christmas still brings up feelings of nostalgia to the sound of the incredible Mariah Carey and her guests.

This was so awful and cringe. The only redeeming thing about ti was laughing about how terrible her hair and dressed were and how airbrushed her face was.

Same songs, same boring and the voice of Mariah never the same. She lost her voice.
