There’s not too many people Mariah Carey would relinquish her headlining role too when it comes to performing. But when it comes to Santa Claus, himself, she will make an exception.
The Queen of Christmas, 52, took to her Instagram page on Friday and announced she will perform at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where she will be opening for Santa Claus.
‘My childhood dream is coming to life! I’m going to be opening for the one and only, SANTA CLAUS, at this year’s @macys Thanksgiving day parade!’ she gushed in an Instagram post. ‘Tune in on Thanksgiving Day @NBC! #macysparade.’

For the Instagram post, a ‘special announcement’ banner pops up first, along with the opening jingle to her famous number on hit holiday song All I Want For Christmas Is You (1994).
As the song kicks with the drums and the rest of the instruments, some of the November dates flash on the screen leading up to the parade on November 24
‘Hey, it’s Mariah. See you at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,’ Carey can be heard announcing in the post.
