Yet there’s something special about a song like "All I Want for Christmas Is You" that captures the holiday spirit and commercialism perfectly. Mariah Carey’s classic has become synonymous with the holiday season since its 1994 release, making it a staple in stores, parties, and playlists alike. As Carey mentioned in her memoir, she truly embodies the holiday essence as she 'lives Christmas to Christmas.'
