All I Want for Christmas Is You#Certifications and sales

Following the success of her 1993 album Music Box, Carey and her management at Columbia Records—including Carey's then-husband, Tommy Mottola, head of Columbia's parent label Sony Music Entertainment—began planning further projects.{{cite news |last=Zaleski |first=Annie |date=December 7, 2015 |title=Why Mariah Carey's Christmas Hit Will Be Around Forever |url=https://www.avclub.com/why-mariah-carey-s-christmas-hit-will-be-around-forever-1798287382 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151209020931/http://www.avclub.com/article/why-mariah-careys-christmas-hit-will-be-around-for-229110 |archive-date=December 9, 2015 |access-date=January 5, 2015 |work=The A.V. Club}} The group discussed recording a Christmas album, but hesitated, as such albums were typically released when artists' careers are waning. Carey's songwriting partner of over four years, Walter Afanasieff, said in 2015: "Back then, you didn't have a lot of artists with Christmas albums. It wasn't a known science at all back then, and there was nobody who did new, big Christmas songs. So we were going to release it as kind of an everyday, 'Hey, you know, we're putting out a Christmas album. No big deal.'"

After Mottola persisted, Carey and Afanasieff began writing and composing songs for Merry Christmas in mid-1994. Carey decorated the home she shared with Mottola with Christmas decorations, feeling she could enter the holiday spirit and make her performance more authentic. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was recorded that August, and took Carey and Afanasieff a total of 15 minutes to write and compose.

Initially, Afanasieff admitted that he was puzzled and "blanched" as to where Carey wanted to take the melody and vocal scales, though she was "adamant" in her direction for the song.{{cite news|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-profile-2013-12|title=The True Story Behind Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas'|last=Wile|first=Rob|work=Business Insider|date=December 7, 2015|access-date=January 5, 2015|archive-date=December 30, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230220915/http://www.businessinsider.com/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-profile-2013-12|url-status=live}} In an interview with Billboard, Afanasieff described the type of relationship he and Carey shared in the studio and as songwriters:

File:Walter Afanasieff and Tamara Gee 1 (cropped).jpg co-wrote and co-produced the song with Carey]]

It was always the same sort of system with us. We would write the nucleus of the song, the melody primary music, and then some of the words were there as we finished writing it. I started playing some rock 'n' roll piano and started boogie woogie-ing my left hand, and that inspired Mariah to come up with the melodic [Sings.] 'I don't want a lot for Christmas.' And then we started singing and playing around with this rock 'n' roll boogie song, which immediately came out to be the nucleus of what would end up being 'All I Want For Christmas Is You.' That one went very quickly: It was an easier song to write than some of the other ones. It was very formulaic, not a lot of chord changes. I tried to make it a little more unique, putting in some special chords that you really don't hear a lot of, which made it unique and special.

Then for the next week or two Mariah would call me and say, 'What do you think about this bit?' We would talk a little bit until she got the lyrics all nicely coordinated and done. And then we just waited until the sessions began, which were in the summer of '94 where we got together in New York and started recording. And that's when we first hear her at the microphone singing, and the rest is history.{{cite news|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6296926/mariah-carey-merry-christmas-anniversary-all-i-want-for-christmas|title=Mariah Carey's 'Merry Christmas' 20th Anniversary: Find Out What Went Into Making a Modern Christmas Classic|last=Strecker|first=Eric|magazine=Billboard|date=December 7, 2015|access-date=January 5, 2015|archive-date=April 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413064414/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6296926/mariah-carey-merry-christmas-anniversary-all-i-want-for-christmas|url-status=live}}

Afanasieff flew back to California, where he finished the song's programming and production. Originally, he had a live band play the drums and other instruments with the thought of giving it a more raw and affective sound. He was unhappy with the results of the recording and subsequently scrapped the effort and used his original, personal arrangement and programmed all the instruments heard on the song (with the exception of the background vocals) including the piano, effects, drums and triangle. While Carey continued writing material in her rented home in The Hamptons, Afanasieff completed the song's programming and awaited to rendezvous with her a final time in order to layer and harmonize the background vocals.

In touching on several aspects of what excited her to record and release her Christmas album, Carey went into detail on what writing and recording the song and album meant for her, pointing out, "I'm a very festive person and I love the holidays. I've sung Christmas songs since I was a little girl. I used to go Christmas caroling. When it came to the album, we had to have a nice balance between standard Christian hymns and fun songs. It was definitely a priority for me to write at least a few new songs, but for the most part people really want to hear the standards at Christmas time, no matter how good a new song is."{{harvnb|Nickson|1998|p=133}}

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" is an uptempo song, composed with pop, soul, R&B, gospel, dance-pop and adult contemporary influences and stylings.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-mw0001013127|title=All I Want for Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey|website=AllMusic|access-date=September 16, 2012|archive-date=May 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529063401/http://www.allmusic.com/album/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-mw0001013127|url-status=live}}{{harvnb|Nickson|1998|p=134}}{{citation |title=Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas Is You – Digital Sheet Music|publisher=Musicnotes.com}} By early August, Carey already had two original songs written alongside Afanasieff including the "sad and ballad-y" "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" and the "Gospel-tinged and religious" "Jesus Born on This Day". The third and final original song the pair planned to write was to be centered and inspired and in the vein of a "Phil Spector, old rock 'n roll, sixties-sounding Christmas song".

The song begins with a "sparkling bit of percussion" chimes played by celesta, resembling "an antique music box or a whimsical snow globe." The opening chimes is also described to share similarities with the musical structure of celesta from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker as the instrumental build-up and gradual layering of musical elements in both pieces help "creating a growing sense of excitement" in anticipation of the holiday season. After Carey's a cappella style vocal introduction, the song introduces other seasonal percussive signifiers including; celebratory church-like bells, cheerful sleigh bells, and "an underlying rhythmic beat that sounds like the loping pace of a horse or reindeer. These sounds echo religious and secular musical touchstones, without veering blatantly too much in either direction, and give the song an upbeat, joyous tone."

{{Quote box|width=20em|align=left|quote="Carey's masterpiece is an incredible feat of philosophical subterfuge. Christmas is a time of material and affection-based excess, yet the song is narrowly focused on just one thing: getting to be with a specific person, e.g., you. It rejects the idea of love in general in favor of love in particular, simultaneously defying and defining pop-music conventions. With infinitely more economy of expression and undoubtedly catchier lyrics, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' is a sort of Hegelian dialectic of Christmastime desire, taking the conflicting notions of abundance and specificity and packaging them neatly into an earworm for the generations."|source=—Emma Green, The Atlantic{{cite news|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/12/mariah-carey-badass-philosopher/421467/|title='All I Want for Christmas Is You': A Historical Dialectic|last=Green|first=Emma|work=The Atlantic|date=December 7, 2015|access-date=January 5, 2015|archive-date=December 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151224212545/http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/12/mariah-carey-badass-philosopher/421467/|url-status=live}}}}

In a 1994 interview, Carey described the song as "fun", and continued: "It's very traditional, old-fashioned Christmas. It's very retro, kind of '60s." Afanasieff went further in breaking down the song's musical elements: "A lush bed of keyboards, reminiscent of a small-scale Wall of Sound, cushions the song's cheery rhythms, while a soulful vocal chorus adds robust oohs, tension-creating counter-melodies, and festive harmonies. Most notably, however, the song's jaunty piano chords and melody keep the song merrily bouncing along."

Lyrically, the song describes the singer not caring about the usual material aspect of the holiday season such as ornamental lights, trees, snow and presents, as long as they are with their lover for Christmas. The song incorporates various instruments, including piano, drums, violin, oboe, flute, bell chimes, bass effect, and cowbells. The song layers background vocals throughout the chorus and sections of the bridge.

After the rubato introduction, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has an indicated tempo of 150 beats per minute. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is set in common time and in the key of G major. Carey's vocals in the song range from the low note of G₃ to the high note of A₅. Carey wrote the song's lyrics and developed its melody, while Afanasieff helped with the musical composition. He also arranged and programmed all of the instruments using synthesized sources.

Slate{{'}}s Adam Ragusea counts "at least 13 distinct chords at work, resulting in a sumptuously chromatic melody. The song also includes what I consider the most Christmassy chord of all—a minor subdominant, or 'iv,' chord with an added 6, under the words 'underneath the Christmas tree,' among other places. (You might also analyze it as a half-diminished 'ii' 7th chord, but either interpretation seems accurate)." According to Roch Parisien from AllMusic, the song contains "Beach Boys–style harmonies, jangling bells, and a sleigh-ride pace, injecting one of the few bits of exuberant fun in this otherwise vanilla set."{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/r206142|title=Merry Christmas > Overview|last=Parisien|first=Roch|website=AllMusic|access-date=August 29, 2010|archive-date=September 23, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220923063511/https://www.allmusic.com/album/merry-christmas-mw0000119776|url-status=live}}

Critics have noted the song's 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s influences which, in conjunction with Carey's voice and its simple melody, heralded its recipe for success.{{cite news|url=http://www.vogue.com/13380675/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-analysis/|title=The Enduring Magic of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'|last=Ruiz|first=Michelle|work=Vogue|date=December 7, 2015|access-date=January 5, 2015|archive-date=December 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226012717/http://www.vogue.com/13380675/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-analysis|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://slate.com/culture/2015/12/mariah-careys-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-a-musicological-explanation-of-why-the-song-sounds-so-christmassy.html/|title='All I Want for Christmas Is You' Is Diminished Chords|last1=Ragusea|first1=Adam|author-link1=Adam Ragusea|work=Slate|date=December 7, 2015|access-date=January 5, 2015|archive-date=June 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200610064435/https://slate.com/culture/2015/12/mariah-careys-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-a-musicological-explanation-of-why-the-song-sounds-so-christmassy.html|url-status=live}} In discussing the song's chord progression and stylistic approaches, Slate's Ragusea hailed the song as "the only Christmas song written in the last half-century worthy of inclusion in the Great American Songbook." The A.V. Club{{'}}s Annie Zaleski attributes the song's enduring appeal to its ambiguity in being able to pin it down as belonging to a specific era.

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" received widespread acclaim. Roch Parisien from AllMusic called the song "a year-long banger", complimenting its instrumentation and melody. Steve Morse, editor of The Boston Globe, wrote that Carey sang with a lot of soul.{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/62040881.html?dids=62040881:62040881&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+04%2C+1994&author=Steve+Morse%2C+Globe+Staff&pub=Boston+Globe+%28pre-1997+Fulltext%29&desc=Carey+marks+the+season+with+music%2C+good+works&pqatl=google|title=Carey marks the season with music, good works|last=Morse|first=Steve|work=Boston Globe|date=December 4, 1994|access-date=October 19, 2010|archive-date=June 29, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629022021/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/62040881.html?dids=62040881:62040881&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+04,+1994&author=Steve+Morse,+Globe+Staff&pub=Boston+Globe+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=Carey+marks+the+season+with+music,+good+works&pqatl=google|url-status=dead}} In his review for Carey's Merry Christmas II You, Thomas Connor from the Chicago Sun-Times called the song "a simple, well-crafted chestnut and one of the last great additions to the Christmas pop canon".{{cite web |url=http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/2877656,mariah-carey-susan-boyle-christmas-cds-110910.article |title=Mariah, Boyle's Christmas CDs a couple lumps of coal |last=Connor |first=Thomas |work=Chicago Sun-Times |date=November 9, 2010 |access-date=November 10, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101110224822/http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/2877656%2Cmariah-carey-susan-boyle-christmas-cds-110910.article |archive-date=November 10, 2010 |url-status=dead }} Shona Craven of Scotland's The Herald, said, "[it's] a song of optimism and joy that maybe, just maybe, hints at the real meaning of Christmas."{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/comment/guest-commentary/in-praise-of-a-very-mariah-christmas-by-shona-craven-1.1073617|title=In Praise Of ...

In the United States, in the first week of January 1995, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" peaked at numbers 6 and 12 respectively on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary and the Hot 100 Airplay chart.{{cite book|last=Whitburn|first=Joel|title=Christmas in the Charts (1920–2004)|publisher=Record Research Inc.|year=2004|location=Wisconsin|page=26|isbn=0-89820-161-6}} The song placed on these two charts again in December 1995 and in December 1996. The song was ineligible for inclusion on the Billboard Hot 100 during its original release, because it was not released commercially as a single in any physical format. This rule lapsed in 1998, however, allowing the song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 (appearing for one week, at No. 83 in January 2000). The song topped the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart in December 2005, but it was unable to attain a new peak on the Billboard Hot 100 chart because it was considered a recurrent single and was thus ineligible for chart re-entry.{{cite magazine |url={{billboardurlbyname|artist=Mariah Carey|chart=all}} |title=All I Want for Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey |magazine=Billboard |access-date=November 10, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121150839/https://www.billboard.com/artist/mariah-carey/chart-history/ |archive-date=November 21, 2022 |url-status=live }}

Elsewhere in Asia, the song topped the charts in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, becoming Carey's first number-one single in both countries. It also reached number two in South Korea; and entered the top-ten in Lebanon, Malaysia and the Philippines; the top-twenty in Hong Kong and Taiwan; and the top-thirty in Vietnam.

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" also experienced success in the continent. In South Africa, it reached number one, becoming Carey's first chart-topping song in the country; while in Nigeria, it entered the top-40, peaking at number 35.

When the song was first released as a single in 1994, no remixes were commissioned. Carey re-released the song commercially in Japan in 2000, with a new remix known as the So So Def remix. The remix contains new vocals and is played over a harder, more urban beat that contains a sample of Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force's "Planet Rock;" it features guest vocals by Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow. The remix appears on Carey's compilation album Greatest Hits (2001) as a bonus track. A video was created for the So So Def remix, but it does not feature Carey or the hip-hop musicians that perform in the song.{{harvnb|Nickson|1998|p=138}} Instead, the video is animated and based on a scene in the video from Carey's "Heartbreaker" (1999). It features cartoon cameo appearances by Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Bow Wow, Luis Miguel (Carey's boyfriend at the time), Carey's dog Jack, and Santa Claus. In 2009 and 2010, the song was included in a music video accompanying ESPN's (and their sister station, ABC) Christmas Day coverage of the NBA.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=4750478&type=story|title=Behind the scenes with Mariah Carey|first=Lynn|last=Hoppes|publisher=ESPN|date=December 17, 2009|access-date=November 29, 2010|archive-date=November 6, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106014709/http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=4750478&type=story|url-status=live}}

In 2009, a remix produced by Carey and Low Sunday, called "Mariah's New Dance Mix", was released. The mix laid the original 1994 vocals over new electronic instrumentation. The remix garnered a positive response. MTV's Kyle Anderson wrote that "it's difficult to improve perfection," but that the remix "does dress up the song in a disco thump that should make your office Christmas party 28 percent funkier than it was last year." Idolator's Becky Bain praised the song's catchiness.

In 2010, Carey re-recorded the song for her thirteenth studio and second holiday album, Merry Christmas II You. Titled "All I Want for Christmas Is You (Extra Festive)", the new version featured re-recorded vocals, softer bell ringing and stronger drumming, and an orchestral introduction that replaced the slow vocal introduction.{{cite web|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-11-10/music/on-mariah-carey-s-agreeably-bizarre-yuletide-sequel-merry-christmas-ii-you/|title=On Mariah Carey's Agreeably Bizarre Yuletide Sequel Merry Christmas II You|last=Juzwiak|first=Rich|work=The Village Voice|date=November 10, 2010|access-date=November 10, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101112182216/http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-11-10/music/on-mariah-carey-s-agreeably-bizarre-yuletide-sequel-merry-christmas-ii-you/|archive-date=November 12, 2010|url-status=dead}} Steven J.

Thomas Connor from the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that the new version "just seems to add a few brassy backup singers to exactly the same arrangement." Caryn Ganz from Rolling Stone agreed, writing that it was "hard to figure out what's 'extra festive'" about the new version.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/reviews/album/45342/229458 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101105122734/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/reviews/album/45342/229458 |title=Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas II You |last=Ganz |first=Caryn |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=November 2, 2010 |archive-date=November 5, 2010 |access-date=November 10, 2010 |url-status=dead }} Dan Hancox, editor of The National, also felt the new version was unnecessary.

The first, primary video for the song was shot in the style of a home movie using Super 8 film; it was directed and filmed by Carey during the Christmas season of 1993.{{harvnb|Nickson|1998|p=136}} The video begins with Carey decorating a Christmas tree with holiday ornaments and frolicking through a snowy mountainside. Outdoor scenes were shot at the Fairy Tale Forest in New Jersey, where Carey's then-husband Tommy Mottola made a cameo appearance as Santa Claus. It continues with scenes of Carey preparing for the Christmas season of 1994, getting ready for her album cover photo shoot and spending time with her dog Jack. It concludes with Santa Claus leaving Carey with a bag of presents and waving goodbye. In the song's alternate video, inspired by the Ronettes, Carey dances in a 1960s-influenced studio surrounded by go–go dancers. For a 1960s look, the video was filmed in black and white, with Carey in white boots and teased up hair. This video was also directed by Carey. There are two edits to this version of the video.

In 2019, along with the release of the deluxe 25th-anniversary edition of Merry Christmas, Carey released two new music videos for the song. The first featured unreleased footage of the original video.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-new-video-906910/|title=Mariah Carey Rereleases 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Video With Unreleased Footage|access-date=November 19, 2020|website=Rollingstone|date=November 2019|archive-date=October 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029062958/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-new-video-906910/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/01/entertainment/mariah-carey-christmas-song-trnd/index.html|title=Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Celebrates 25 Years Being an Earworm|access-date=November 19, 2020|website=CNN|date=November 2019 |archive-date=August 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808100709/https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/01/entertainment/mariah-carey-christmas-song-trnd/index.html|url-status=live}} The second, directed by Joseph Kahn, was a "revamped" version titled "Make My Wish Come True Edition", with new scenes of Carey in 2019.

On June 3, 2022, songwriter Andy Stone from Vince Vance & the Valiants filed a copyright lawsuit against Carey, alleging that she "exploited" and made "undeserved profits" off his song, "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which was written five years prior to Carey's version.

Time writer Cady Lang stated that there are multiple reasons for the song's popularity, the first being the "powerhouse vocals of the beloved elusive chanteuse." She also noted the song's impact on pop culture stating that it is "a reminder that pop music, and maybe especially Christmas-themed pop music, can be as transportive for the singer (and the songwriter) as it is for the listener".

The popularity of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is noteworthy, not merely in its staying power (although a quarter of a century at the forefront of the holiday genre is a flex, if there ever was one) or its momentum in gaining ubiquity year after year, but in its ability to command the category over a period in which her industry and the culture has evolved significantly.{{Cite magazine|url=https://time.com/5708874/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-mariah-carey/|title=How Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Became the Holiday Gift That Keeps on Giving|access-date=November 19, 2020|magazine=Time|archive-date=November 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111213045/https://time.com/5708874/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-mariah-carey/|url-status=live}}

Los Angeles Times writer Jody Rosen noted that the song's success reflects "the zeal of Carey's super-fans" and "speaks to the character of the song itself: its timeless quality, the way it seems to hover between musical eras and idioms. The song's harmonic palate, its diminished chords and lustrous chromatic passages, call to mind the jazz-inflected Christmas hits of the midcentury [...] Carey's calisthenic vocals, combining gospel-style melismatic runs and subtly funky syncopations, are unmistakably 90s, redolent of hip-hop-influenced R&B that Carey herself helped pioneer."{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-12-14/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-queen|title=In the court of the Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey: 'I'm obsessed'|access-date=October 11, 2021|website=Los Angeles Times|date=December 14, 2020|archive-date=December 14, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214150713/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-12-14/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-queen|url-status=live}} Rosen went on to call it the 21st century's "White Christmas" calling Carey "another hall of fame vocalist and showbiz giant who was indelibly associated with the holiday".

The Ringer writer, Rob Harvilla, stated that "December belongs to Mariah Carey".{{Cite web|url=https://www.theringer.com/2020/12/3/22149984/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-backstory-history|title='60 Songs That Explain the '90s': "All I Want for Christmas Is You" Is a Lot Sadder Than You Realize|access-date=March 16, 2021|website=The Ringer|date=December 3, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111135426/https://www.theringer.com/2020/12/3/22149984/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-backstory-history|url-status=live}} He went on to say that "the very first time you [hear the song, it sounds] classic [...] timeless, like it was playing in the manger when Jesus Christ was born." Critics also noted the song was reminiscent of the works of Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, the Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder. Slate{{'}}s Ragusea conceded that "All I Want For Christmas Is You" "sounds like it could have been written in the '40s and locked in a Brill Building safe." In a piece on the song in Vogue, a writer felt the song's lyrics helped solidify its status over two decades later: "those lyrics could have been sung by Frank Sinatra—well, maybe not Frank, but another singer back then. I think that's what gives it that timeless, classic quality."

The song is popular among radio stations that switch formats to all-Christmas to use as a "kickoff song" to launch the seasonal format, amplified in part due to Carey's annual November 1 videos. Of a sample of 20 stations that changed to the format before Veterans Day in 2024, five chose the song, tied with "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year."{{Cite web |last=Ross |first=Sean |date=2024-11-12 |title=The First Song of Christmas |url=https://radioinsight.com/blogs/286355/the-first-song-of-christmas/ |access-date=2024-11-12 |website=RadioInsight |language=en-US |archive-date=November 13, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241113015014/https://radioinsight.com/blogs/286355/the-first-song-of-christmas/ |url-status=live }}

Radio writer Sean Ross in 2020, and former program director Rob Lucas (who programmed all-Christmas Star 102.5 from 2001 to 2022) in 2023, both noted that the popularity of the song, and its similarity to the arrangements on the seminal Christmas album A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector, had essentially established the Wall of Sound-type stylings as a fixture of contemporary Christmas music. Ross suggested that the vast majority of new Christmas records that were breaking through now had a sound reminiscent of Carey or Spector, making programming the format to avoid over-repetition more difficult.Ross, Sean (December 2, 2020).
