Where to watch Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All! for free

Jason Struss
By

Every Christmas brings several traditions that almost everyone experiences: shopping for impossible-to-find presents, traveling to see relatives you barely know or tolerate, watching live sports while digesting unhealthy food, and watching A Christmas Story on a constant, eternal loop.

And from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, there is one person who rules the pop culture landscape. No, it’s not Santa Claus — it’s Mariah Carey! The “elusive chanteuse” has deemed herself the “Queen of Christmas” largely due to her hit holiday song “All I Want For Christmas is You.” Now, she’s invading everyone’s eyeballs as well as their eardrums with her new holiday special, Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All! But where can one watch it?

If you don’t want any ads, the Premium monthly subscription will cost you $10 a month.

You can save money if you commit to a one-year subscription. An Essential annual subscription is $50 a year, while a Premium annual subscription is $100. You can also bundle the Paramount+ subscription with a Showtime subscription for $12 a month or $120 a year. You can head over to the website for more info on all Paramount+ subscription plans.

Is it worth watching Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All!?

Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)

If you like Carey and want to get into the holiday spirit, sure. The special is essentially a live taping of her holiday concert at Madison Square Garden, so don’t expect a lot of narrative cohesion or deep thinking. This special is made for fans who can’t get enough of holiday songs, and Carey, to her credit, is a talented vocalist. She clearly loves Christmas, and her enthusiasm is infectious.
