The ubiquitous “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which Carey co-wrote in 1994, is arguably the most successful Christmas song ever. “I just love making music and I love Christmas music, and I happened to write a few songs for Christmas and make some albums that people have enjoyed, and I’m grateful for it.” “I never said that was my title,” Carey replied when a reporter asked whether she’d ever retire from being Queen of Christmas.
