Global superstar Mariah Carey is heading to the Philippines on October 14, but fans are more hyped about when she’s coming rather than just where.
With the country already in full Christmas mode by September, many are hoping she’ll bring out her all-time Christmas classic “All I Want for Christmas is You” live at the SML Mall of Asia Arena.
Some netizens have made their wishes loud and clear:
I hope Mariah sings AIWFCIY in Manila, she knows the Philippines celebrates the longest Christmas season. 💓

It just occurred to me right now that Filipinos in the Philippines celebrate the Christmas season in September. By the time October rolls around, & Mariah is there, it’s already the Christmas holiday 🤔 that’s exciting 😁

Even Mariah herself knows she’s a holiday icon in the Philippines. Back in September 2024, she acknowledged the country’s early Christmas spirit, posting on Facebook: “Philippines, it’s time (only for you!! 😉).”
The Manila stop is part of her “The Celebration of Mimi” tour, where she’ll also perform in China, Japan, and Thailand. “We’re taking The Celebration of Mimi worldwide! I can’t wait to see you all during this special anniversary year of the Mimi album ❤️✨🎉,” she shared on X.
