Mariah Carey is bringing Christmas back across the pond! The undisputed Queen of Christmas has unwrapped a trio of major UK arena dates for the 2026 festive season, with London, Manchester, and Birmingham all set to receive a hefty helping of Mimi magic. And for British Lambs, the announcement is especially sweet: it marks Carey's first UK Christmas tour in nine years.
The diva will kick off the festive trek, christened :Mariah Carey's Christmastime", at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on November 27. Other dates are at The O2, London on November 30, and Co-op Live, Manchester on December 2. Tickets go on general sale Friday, September 25 at 10am via Live Nation.
Naturally, the shows will be anchored by the immortal "All I Want For Christmas Is You", alongside festive favorites, fan-loved gems, and smashes from across Carey's colossal catalogue.
The upcoming UK dates follow the 2024 "Mariah Carey's Christmastime" tour, which took her festive spectacular across North America. She then planted her Christmas tree firmly on the Las Vegas Strip in 2025 with a 10-date "Christmastime in Las Vegas" residency at Dolby Live.
The glittering production paired seasonal staples such as "Joy To The World" and "Silent Night" with classics including "Fantasy", "Hero", and "We Belong Together".
Longtime Lambs may also remember that Carey last brought a dedicated Christmas production to the UK in 2017, when her "All I Want For Christmas Is You" tour touched down in Manchester and at London's O2. Almost a decade later, the sleigh is finally circling back.
And with "All I Want For Christmas Is You" now 10x Platinum in the UK and a omnipresent fixture of the festive top 10, Mimi arriving to officially defrost in person feels all kinds of apt. Suffice it to say, for UK Lambs, "It's tiiiiime!"
