"All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a Christmas song by American singer Mariah Carey. She co-wrote and co-produced it with Walter Afanasieff for her fourth studio album and first holiday album, Merry Christmas (1994). Columbia Records released it as the lead single from the album on October 29, 1994. The track is an uptempo love song that includes bell chimes, backing vocals and synthesizers. The song has become a Christmas standard and continues to surge in popularity each holiday season.[1] "All I Want for Christmas Is You" received critical acclaim, with The New Yorker describing it as "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon".[2] It is Carey's biggest international success, topping the charts in twenty-six countries including Australia, Canada, France and Germany.[3] In 2019, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, 25 years after its original release, thus breaking several records, including the longest trip to number one.[4] The following year, it also topped the charts in the United Kingdom for the first time, spending a record 69 weeks in its top 40 prior to reaching number one.[5] With an estimated sales of over 16 million copies, it is the best-selling Christmas single by a female artist, and one of the best-selling physical singles in music history.[6] By 2017, it had reportedly earned $60 million in royalties.[7] Two music videos were originally commissioned for the song. The primary video features grainy home-movie-style footage of Carey, her dogs and family during the holiday season, as well as Carey dressed in a Santa suit frolicking on a snowy mountainside. Carey's then-husband Tommy Mottola makes a cameo as Santa Claus, bringing Carey a gift and leaving on a red sleigh. The second video was filmed in black and white, and features Carey dressed in 1960s style in homage to the Ronettes, alongside back up singers and female dancers. A third music video directed by Joseph Kahn was released in 2019 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the song. Carey has performed "All I Want for Christmas Is You" during numerous live television appearances and tours throughout her career. In 2010, Carey re-recorded the song for her second holiday album, Merry Christmas II You (2010), known as the "Extra Festive" version. Carey also re-recorded the song as a duet with Canadian singer Justin Bieber for his 2011 album Under the Mistletoe, known as the "SuperFestive!" version.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Kamala Khan now as a aunt, she and her family excited for Aamir and Tyesha staying for the holidays to see there baby boy., When a cosmic sleigh crashes in Jersey City, Kamala discovers that the real Santa Claus has been ambushed by Shocker and The Enforcers, who have stolen the cosmic engine that powers his multiversal gift‑delivery route. With Christmas magic collapsing, Kamala assembles a new team of young heroes — Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Cassie Lang, Elijah Bradley, Harley Keener, Skaar, and a displaced Teen Groot Variant from a universe where Rocket was snapped like the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Groot became an Avenger. At the same time, a feral black‑suited Spider-Man terrorizes New York. The Young Avengers don’t remember Peter Parker, but they recognize the danger. Their investigation reveals that the symbiote is feeding on Peter’s deepest wound: the memory of a harsh, volatile Ben Parker, whose furious “responsibility speech” shaped Peter through fear rather than wisdom. The team splits — half racing to recover Santa’s engine, the other trying to save Spider-Man from the symbiote consuming him. As Shocker unleashes a citywide Christmas crime spree, the Young Avengers battle through holiday chaos using trick arrows, embiggened fists, malfunctioning armor, and Groot Variant’s glowing ornament‑like branches.
