Mariah Carey is teaming up once again with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQWpNB0kY0m\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bucket Listers<\/a> to bring back her Holiday Bar pop-ups. The festive experience opens on November 13, returning to New York and expanding to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What does the experience bring?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each venue promises a fully immersed Mariah Carey experience, with wall-to-wall decorations, themed cocktails, and album backdrop recreations for photo opportunities. Last year, Mariah partnered with Virgin Hotels for similar pop-ups, and went on a 20-city Christmas tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her iconic track \u2018All I Want for Christmas Is You\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time around, she\u2019s taking things up a notch with exclusive merch, vinyl editions of her holiday albums, and even her latest LP \u2018Here For It All\u2019 available at the bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQWpNB0kY0m\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Mariah Carey keeps reaching new heights every year. In 2024, \u2018All I Want for Christmas Is You\u2019 became the first Christmas song to <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/mariah-careys-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-breaks-spotify-record-with-2-billion-streams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surpass two billion Spotify streams<\/a>, breaking the major milestone three decades after its release. The song also racked up 24.8 million streams in a single day on December 24 last year, becoming the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/most-streamed-in-a-single-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third most-streamed track in a day in Spotify history<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"nnJZjnfGhq\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/most-streamed-in-a-single-day\/\">Top 10 most-streamed songs in a single day on Spotify in 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Top 10 most-streamed songs in a single day on Spotify in 2025&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/most-streamed-in-a-single-day\/embed\/#?secret=nnJZjnfGhq\" data-secret=\"nnJZjnfGhq\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Gearing up for the festive season<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mariah Carey isn\u2019t the only one getting festive-ready early. Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/upload-your-music-to-spotify-for-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a> dropped its <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-holiday-covers-2025-independent-artists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holiday Singles Collection<\/a> featuring five new covers of seasonal favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For independent artists, let this serve as a reminder. The industry is already shifting into Christmas mode, and holiday music doesn\u2019t just belong to Mariah. Covering a well-known track or dropping an original festive release can be one of the most effective ways to reach new listeners. People are already crafting their seasonal playlists, and your song could end up on one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning a Christmas release takes time from recording to release to promotion. Getting started now ensures your music is ready to drop right as the holiday buzz begins. Whether it\u2019s an acoustic spin on an upbeat classic or a fresh pop take on a traditional carol, festive releases can showcase your creativity while boosting your streams and followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as Mariah Carey switches her Christmas machine back on, take it as a sign. It\u2019s time to start planning your own seasonal moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"3T2TuTTfqe\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/promote-your-career-with-holiday-covers\/\">How holiday covers can help promote your music career<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How holiday covers can help promote your music career&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/promote-your-career-with-holiday-covers\/embed\/#?secret=3T2TuTTfqe\" data-secret=\"3T2TuTTfqe\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.routenote.com\/\">Want to release a festive cover track to help grow your career?
