25 Mariah Carey Christmas Lyrics That'll Sleigh As Instagram Captions
"We did it," Mariah Carey tweeted out on Dec. 16, signifying some exciting Christmas news. Her smash, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" had made its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart 25 years after its release. The fan favorite song is just one of the reasons Queen Mimi is the undisputed Christmas queen, but it's hardly the only holiday song she has in her music catalog. All of Carey's Christmas songs will instantly get you into the holiday spirit. And if, like me, you'll be sharing your holiday memories on Instagram, these Mariah Carey Christmas lyrics are perfect Instagram captions.
Even if you're feeling a little grinchy this holiday season, don't worry — not all of Carey's songs are bombastic blasts of holiday cheer and joy. Actually, many of her Christmas songs are the complete opposite. When Carey released her Christmas album, Merry Christmas, in 1994, many of the songs were about heartbreak.
Mimi truly has a bop for every mood, and whether you're jumping for joy this holiday season, or feeling slightly sullen, there's a lyric within each of her holiday songs that'll speak to you. And in the digital age, fans are always on the hunt for the best, insta-worthy captions that will catch their followers' attention.
