WASHINGTON — Mariah Carey is celebrating Christmas this year with her very own Barbie doll.
The "All I Want for Christmas is You" singer described having her own Barbie as a "once in a lifetime dream."
"If I could go back and tell my little girl self that one day, I would have a Barbie made in my likeness, I think she would flip out! I hope all collectors and fans everywhere enjoy the holiday season and hopefully the Mariah Barbie will be a wonderful addition to it," she said in a statement shared by Mattel.
According to a press release, the doll captures Carey's "signature flair and dazzling style in a festive look." It features a glittery red gown, sparkly silvery accessories and matching red heels.
The Mariah Carey Barbie Doll launched on Mattel's website on Friday, but it appears to have sold out quickly on that site.
Last year, she had another childhood dream come true by performing "All I Want for Christmas is You" at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Since releasing the single in 1994, it's been the most-streamed holiday song.
And continuing her recent yearly tradition, Carey posted a video on social media the minute the clock struck midnight on Nov. 1 to announce that she was officially flipping the switch over to the Christmas season.
Carey has celebrated the turn of the calendar with cheeky videos featuring her chart-topping holiday song in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Economist estimated in 2017 that the song has earned her more than $60 million. Back in 2021, it was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making it the first holiday single to earn the award.
