Proving once again that Christmas can be the most lucrative time of the year (if you have a hit song, that is), the Queen of Christmas has announced a brand new track for holiday season 2021.
Whether you like it or not, those Christmas bells are a-jingling. Continuing to drop tidbits of holiday cheer this first week of November, Mariah Carey has announced a new Christmas song called 'Fall In Love At Christmas'.
A collaboration between singer Khalid and also choir director and gospel singer Kirk Franklin, the track sounds like it will be a ballad, making it a change of pace for the Christmas hit-maker this year.
You can listen to a 30-second snippet of the song below, which will be released this Friday, November 5.
Mariah Carey and her new Christmas song tease arrives a day after the pop star marked her official entrance into the Christmas build-up period with another elaborate video. This year, she smashed some pumpkins with a candy cane baseball bat before her 1994 classic 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' blared for everyone to hear. It's officially the beginning of the most expensive time of the year.

New Carey collaborator Khalid, who is a multi-Grammy Award nominee, is set to release his third studio album ''Everything Is Changing' in the near future. The lead single 'New Normal' was released in July.
