“All I Want for Christmas is You” was only one title from Carey's "Merry Christmas" album in 1994, but it was certainly a breakout song from the 10-track release. Last month, Carey was presented a Guinness World Record for the highest-charting holiday song on the Billboard Hot 100 by a solo artist.

Amazon Music’s documentary is available for streaming and was released alongside the release of Carey's Amazon gift guide. On Dec. 19, fans will also be able to listen to a special Christmas playlist curated by the Grammy Award winner.
