Palm Springs, CA

Last night at Acrisure Arena, Mariah Carey brought her Christmas magic to Palm Springs. The iconic singer performed a mix of beloved Christmas classics and fan favorites as she brought the spirit of Christmas alive with songs like “Joy to the Newborn King,” “Silent Night,” “Oh Holy Night,” and “Santa Gonna Be Mine This Christmas.” Of course, no holiday concert would be complete without her signature hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

Mariah Carey Showcases Her Twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon On Stage

During the show, before stepping offstage for a wardrobe change with her glam squad as any Diva would, Mariah brought out her 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, for a unique and special concert moment. The fraternal twins joined the stage alongside other kids from her dance ensemble, delivering a lively cover of The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping” and “Deck the Halls.” Moroccan, on drums, and Monroe, on vocals and guitar, charmed the audience with their own star power.

In the second half of the show, Carey explained to the crowd that her agent reminded her not just to sing Christmas songs but that “you gotta give them the hits,” and that’s exactly what she did.

Mariah Carey to the cheer of the audience also showcased some of her timeless pop hits, including “Hero,” “Fantasy,” “We Belong Together,” and “Always Be My Baby,” reminding everyone why she’s one of the greatest vocalists of our time. As always, her performance was full of heart as she took many moments to wave to the enthusiastic crowd throughout the evening.
