Mariah Carey?s ?Merry Christmas? special last night: Three highlights worth watching

Image Credit: Danny Feld/ABCYou know who?s super-fun around Christmastime? The grand dame of ?All I Want for Christmas is You,? Mariah Carey, duh! Last night, the very pregnant pop diva premiered her ABC holiday special, Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas To You, and it did not disappoint in the anti-Scrooge category. It very successfully put me in the holiday spirit! The highlights were many?you can watch the full 45-minute special after the jump?but here?s a guide to the three most important moments from the Carey Christmasfest, including corresponding time codes:
00:00: The diva?s special-opening rendition of sleigh-bell and school yard-chant happy new single ?Oh, Santa!? was the perfect kick-off for the evening. This thumpy, joyful tune proves: Mariah just wants to have fun!
35:00: The launch of Mariah Carey?s duet of ?O Come All Ye Faithful? with her opera-singer mother Patricia Carey. It becomes a diva-off, with both reaching the rafters for the highest note in history. Who wins? You can be the judge of that.
39:45: Mariah closes out the night with her Christmas standard, ?All I Want for Christmas Is You.? If that doesn?t put you in the spirit, then nothing will. There?s simply few things out there that are this joyful.
Now watch the whole special here (or just skip to my suggested highlight portions):
