Mariah Carey has paid tribute to her iconic holiday classic, All I Want For Christmas Is You, 30 years after releasing the catchy tune.
The music sensation and ‘Queen of Christmas’ will be re-releasing the song in honor of it’s 30th anniversary – and has recreated the track’s original photo shoot for the single’s cover.
Carey unveiled two of the covers – one of which closely resembles the original shoot – to her Instagram on Wednesday.
The vinyl cover offers an updated twist on the original shoot, which saw Mariah clad in a Santa Claus inspired jumpsuit as she sits in the snow.
In the new edition, the Glitter actress, 55, sports a similar red jumpsuit as she crouches upon a plush fur couch.

Mariah noted in the caption: ‘While it is definitely not time to listen to Christmas music yet ‼️ I wanted to share a glimpse of #MerryChristmas30 with you!
‘An homage to the original album cover, here is the cover art for two of the four new “All I Want For Christmas Is You” physical singles… available for pre-order now.’
The second cover Mariah included in her carousel captured the Glitter actress joyfully posing in a glam white gown with leg slit beside a snowy tree.
