Anthony Brett Daily Telegraph (UK) 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 Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene This was the damnedest thing - like a freshly chilled glass of eggnog, but instead of rum or nutmeg, it's been constructed with mescaline. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Nick Levine 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 May 7, 2021 Full Review Marina Gordon 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 Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Brett White Decider This special is fully wild, overboard, extra, next level, ridiculous, jubilant, a trainwreck and a masterpiece all in one. Dec 10, 2020 Full Review B.L. Panther The Spool Lambs (Mariah fans) are likely to have an absolute ball. But even if Mariah isn't your shepherd, there's still plenty to enjoy.

Jon M This is a must see for any age during the Christmas season. It's entertaining and it's MARIAH!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Marcos Vinicius L Rainha do natal. Queen Of Christmas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Jefferson R 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/23 Full Review Melanie R 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/23/22 Full Review Audience Member Same songs, same boring and the voice of Mariah never the same. She lost her voice. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/21 Full Review Audience Member The Queen of Christmas did it again! 🦋❤ #Lambily Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
