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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I approached this with some trepidation because I just didn't know what to expect but found myself laughing out loud and really enjoying it which I think was the point of the special; to make us feel good during such a difficult time. Mariah doesn't take herself so seriously and plays up the diva thing but in such a quirky and endearing manner you can't help but get a kick out of it. The appearance of Ariana and Jennifer is done in a fun manner too as is Snoop Dog randomly appearing in a Santa suit to rap a few lines. It's a lighthearted, quirky, and fun special that will have you smiling from ear to ear, and will find the simple but true message of hope and healing a bit touching whether you're a fan of Mariah or not.
