"For all those in search of pop star-infused festive cheer, Mariah Carey's Holiday Bar opened earlier this month at the Mondrian Hotel's Skybar. The pop-up's Los Angeles debut is steeped with the signature seasonal touch from the Queen of Christmas - neon signs of her lyrics light up the room, massive portraits of the star fill the space and every single song that plays - holiday-themed or not - is from Carey's discography. (Disclaimer: "All I Want For Christmas Is You" does play every 30 minutes.)"
""For as long as I've known Christmas, Mariah has always been there. It signals to me that childlike wonder and excitement of Christmas time that kind of harkens back to when I was a kid," said Cathy Kwon, who was posing for a photo on the decorative sleigh. "The fact that the song itself ['All I Want For Christmas Is You'] has stayed this popular for this long is remarkable.""
"Ever since releasing her holiday album, "Merry Christmas," in 1994, Carey has established herself as a permanent fixture in the holiday season. Every year, the 56-year-old singer has gift-wrapped a new festivity for her fans. Last year, she embarked on Mariah Carey's Christmas Time tour to celebrate the album's 30th anniversary and this year, she's doing a Vegas residency called "Christmastime in Las Vegas.""
Mariah Carey opened a Holiday Bar at the Mondrian Hotel's Skybar in Los Angeles featuring neon lyric signs, large portraits and life-size cutouts. Every song played at the pop-up is drawn from her discography, with "All I Want For Christmas Is You" scheduled every 30 minutes. The holiday bar includes extensive photo opportunities and cocktails inspired by Carey. The pop-up concept expands to four locations nationwide through a partnership with Bucket Listers, with sites in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami and Las Vegas. Carey has maintained a continuous holiday presence since releasing "Merry Christmas" in 1994, with tours, residencies and specials.
