Mariah Carey – Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) (Official Video)

It’s a gentle ballad by Mariah Carey included on her album “Merry Christmas,” released for the holiday season in the ’90s.

Created in 1994 as a collaboration with Walter Afanasieff, the song expresses the loneliness and heartache of not having a loved one by your side during the festive Christmas season.

Its calm arrangement featuring strings and Carey’s emotive vocals really resonate.

It’s a piece that quietly touches the heart when listened to on a Christmas spent apart from a partner or on a night when memories of a past love resurface.

This song packs in the full joy of Christmas, featuring a fun rhythm and catchy melody.

The lyrics—sweet yet a little bittersweet—stand out for asking Santa Claus to bring a lover as a gift.

Alongside Mariah Carey’s powerful vocals, the 2020 version featuring Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson showcases the three voices blending beautifully.

Originally released in 2010, the track shot to No.

1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in an astonishing two weeks.

It’s a perfect pick for livening up a Christmas party or indulging in the feelings of a girl in love.

A beloved classic that brims with the fun and anticipation of Christmas comes to life again through Mariah Carey’s powerful vocals.

The lyrics announce that Santa Claus is coming to town and encourage children to be on their best behavior, warming the hearts of listeners.

Included on the October 1994 album “Merry Christmas,” the song is reinterpreted in her signature pop and R&B style.

It’s perfect for enjoying with family and friends during the holiday season and is easy to sing at karaoke.

Frequently performed at Mariah Carey’s Christmas concerts, it remains a fan favorite.

All I Want for Christmas Is You / Mariah Carey [Music Box] (Theme song for Fuji TV's 'Christmas at 29')

When it comes to Mariah Carey’s smash-hit Christmas songs, isn’t this the one that comes to mind? It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Christmas at 29.” It’s upbeat and makes you feel happy and bright—like you want to fall in love at Christmastime.

If you’re in the mood for romance, I also recommend “Fall in Love at Christmas.” This track is a collaboration by singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, R&B singer Khalid, and gospel singer Kirk Franklin.

While the song has an R&B feel, the inclusion of a gospel choir adds a distinctly Christmassy grandeur.

Its structure is unlike most other songs, so the melody alone makes it worth a listen.
