Mariah Carey is opening up her New York home to a lucky couple of fans this festive season.

The pop star is synonymous with all things Santa and co, thanks to her number one hit ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’, which was released in 1994. Equally inextricably linked to the trimmings of December is New York, a city regularly depicted in Christmas films like Home Alone 2 and Elf.

According to recent Booking.com research, NYC ranked number one among the top-searched destinations for Americans leading up to the festive season. 

The accommodation booking company has synced up the two Christmas favourites and announced that one pair of guests can book a weekend-long experience in New York, as curated by Carey herself.

This trip comes complete with flights and airport transfers and will include a three-night stay at The Plaza, Fairmont Hotel in New York.

The itinerary covers plentiful iconic NYC Christmas attractions, like ice skating in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree with a private skating session and VIP hospitality, a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue and dinner at the singer and songwriter’s favourite New York restaurants, including Nobu and Mr. Chow.

The piece de resistance is then cocktails and a Christmas card photoshoot at a private space in Carey’s New York City penthouse apartment.

Essentially a Christmas competition, ‘Mariah’s Ultimate Holiday Experience’ is bookable on a first-come, first-served basis.

To be in with a chance of having the fastest finger first to click that booking button, tickets are available to buy from Booking.com on 14 December at 10pm.

They cost  $20.19, as a tribute to the year ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ first reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

For the two people who get in there quickest, this unique Christmas experience of a lifetime will take place from16-19 December.
