Mariah Carey Sings ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ With Twins and Dogs

Mariah Carey enlisted the help of some furry friends for a special rendition of her iconic Christmas song.

Yesterday, the singer, 52, posted a video to Instagram of herself, her 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe and their two dogs singing “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” In the clip, Carey is wearing what we all like to lounge in our homes — a glamorous red gown. She enters a festive room and begins to sing her hit. As Carey belts out, “All I want for Christmas is,” Moroccan and Monroe — who are seen sitting with the family’s two dogs — jump up and shout, “you!” prompting a howl from the adorable pups. Carey cutely gave a nod to the pets in the caption of her post, writing: “All I Want For Christmas Is… 🐶🐶.”

Carey shares her two children with ex-husband Nick Cannon. Last month, Moroccan and Monroe helped with the music video for her new song, “Fall in Love at Christmas.” The twins are featured in a sweet scene, which shows them giving their superstar mom a hug.

Like every year during the holiday season, the singer has been hard at work, with this year’s project being a festive collaboration with McDonalds, which includes Carey-themed merchandise and a special “Mariah Menu.”
