Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson Drop Oh Santa Video

Mariah Carey is ringing in the holiday season with a little help from some of her friends.

The bona fide Queen of Christmas just released a new music video for an updated remix of her holiday hit "Oh Santa," featuring two fellow divas, Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson. And the visuals do not skimp on holiday cheer.

In the video, Carey, Grande, and Hudson coordinate in festive dresses, with Carey opting for a plaid mini number, Grande wearing a dark-green off-the-shoulder ensemble, and Hudson in a sparkly sweetheart midi dress. The trio channel girl groups of the '60s, à la The Supremes, as they perform for an audience of elves.

The remix is a testament to the vocal prowess of the three singers, with the cheerful holiday hit allowing a change for each diva to showcase her powerhouse vocals. The song's highlight, however, comes when Carey and Grande harmonize toward the end—their signature whistle registers merging to create a heavenly sound. It's a moment longtime fans of both songstresses never thought they would live to see. Just try not to get chills.

Carey teased the premiere of this video back in November, with an elusive Instagram post showing only three directors' chairs, each featuring the singer's initials printed on the back. She used a single Christmas tree emoji for her caption.

The "Oh Santa" video is just one part of Carey's new holiday special, Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special. Luckily, it's available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+ starting today.
