“Grateful and so proud of my beautiful kids Roc and Roe,” Mariah Carey said on Instagram following the performance. Monroe, an 11-year-old twin Moroccan helped mom ring in the holiday season!
Thursday afternoon closing out the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the 52-year-old singer sang “All I Want for Christmas Is You” while her two children danced behind her.
From Hamilton Jewelers’ 110th Anniversary Capsule Collection, Carey embellished her crimson mermaid gown with a spectacular train featuring more than 80 carats of diamonds and a glittering tiara on top of her head. She performed using a matching parasol in one hand throughout as well.
While Moroccan sported a red sweater and black leggings with a gold chain around his neck, Monroe wore an all-white outfit including a tutu and tiara.
“Happy Thanksgiving!!! 🍁 Thank you for the lamb and the priceless moments in life; I am so proud of my lovely daughters Roc and Roe. ❤️❤️❐️ It is now quite a reasonable time! 🎄🎅🏼,” Carey posted on Instagram with pictures of the look.
Carey’s twins are shared with ex-husband Nick Cannon, who recently had his 11th baby and will shortly be a parent of 12.
Last week in an Instagram post, Carey said she will be attending Macy’s annual Thanksgiving celebration.
“My dream from childhood is materializing. At this year’s @macys Thanksgiving day parade, I will be opening for the one and only SANTA CLAUS 🎅🏼.” Carey said. ” 🎄🎉💫 Tune in on Thanksgiving Day.”
Released on her 1994 Merry Christmas album, Carey’s holiday song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was co-written and produced by Walter Afanasieff, who had collaborated with her since her 1990 self-titled debut and early No. 1 smash “Love Takes Times.”
Since then, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has had a second life. 2019 saw it top the Billboard Hot 100 list at No. 1 for the first time, therefore becoming Mariah’s 19th overall chart-topping entry.
Carey became the first Christmas single to ever win the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) Diamond Award in 2021.
Carey’s appearance at the Thanksgiving Day parade has now allowed her to warm up for her series of special Christmas shows this year, which will take place on Dec. 9 and Dec. 11 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, and Dec. 13 and Dec. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
