All I Want for Christmas is for Mariah Carey to Sing With Jimmy Fallon and the Roots

This week on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, as Fallon and The Roots played toy instruments, Mariah Carey joined them, along with some children, for a rousing rendition of “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Check it out.

Although now it seems like “All I Want for Christmas” is a holiday classic that has been around forever, it was written by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff, becoming a hit song in 1994. There are a number of great versions, including Carey’s original and Olivia Olson‘s charming cover in the fun holiday movie Love Actually (2003). Now we can add this version with the Roots to the list.
