Mariah Carey brought a very special guest onstage to perform “Away in a Manger” during her 2022 holiday show. The legendary singer and her daughter, Monroe, belted the song together while wearing matching outfits.
The pair sang the Christmas classic at the Madison Square Garden in New York City for the two-hour special Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All, which aired on CBS and Paramount+ on December 20.
Dressed in adorable white dresses and sparkly hair pieces, Carey and her 11-year-old had their solo moments, finishing with a big round of applause from the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter, Monroe,” Carey said, then turning to her daughter to say, “I love you.”
“Performing at @thegarden is always special, but this show, my first one in 3 years, was truly unforgettable, and I’m so grateful to be able to cherish this memory forever,” Mariah said on Instagram.
The iconic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” interpreter also released a storybook featuring the story of “Little Mariah.” Her new book, The Christmas Princess, features an animated character named “Little Mariah.”
The book was written by Carey and Michaela Angela Davis, with illustrations by Fuuji Takashi. “Even ‘Little Mariah’ thinks it’s not time yet! Find out why she’s so down and disheveled when my new Christmas fairytale comes out in November! The Christmas Princess 🎄📖 Out 11/1,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos including the book cover.
