Why ‘All I Want For Christmas’ Is The Only Modern Holiday Classic
In 1994, when Mariah Carey released "All I Want For Christmas Is You,” there hadn't been a new holiday classic in a decade. And there hasn't been another once since. Mariah’s festive hit is one of the last songs to break into the American Christmas canon.
Besides Mariah’s legendary five-octave range, what separates “All I Want for Christmas” from the rest — and why is it the only modern holiday standard? We take a deep dive into the song’s structure to explain its lasting appeal.
Mariah Carey and long-time collaborator Walter Afanasieff crafted a timeless staple by drawing on holiday musical traditions spanning centuries, from the Nutcracker ballet of the 19th century, to 1960s girl groups like the Ronettes, to Phil Spector’s famous ‘‘Wall of Sound’.
