Celine Dion went full Grinch mode for Christmas and it's pure holiday magic. 

The award-winning singer shared a video on Christmas Day, where she dressed up as the iconic Dr. Seuss character in green makeup, a Santa suit and embodied the Grinch's voice and mannerisms. 

The video opens with Dion singing her hit song, "All By Myself," as the Grinch character by a fireplace. 

In another clip, she has her dog -- dressed up as the Grinch's pup, Max -- on her lap and reenacts some of the lines in the hit 2000 film. 

"The nerve of those Whos inviting me down there on such short notice," she says. "Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn't allow it!"

In another clip, Dion goes over her schedule like the Grinch in the 2000 film and says, "4 o'clock -- exercise my voice, 4:30 -- wake my children up, 5 o'clock -- solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30 -- jazzercise, 6:30 -- dinner with me. I can't cancel that again! 7:30 -- wrestle with my creative ideas, I'm booked!"

The video post received praise from fans including "Wicked" star Ariana Grande, who commented, "thank you so much."

"Insecure" actress Yvonne Orji added, "A national treasure. That's what you are!!"

In a separate video Dion shared on Thursday, Dion wished her fans a Merry Christmas.

"My dear friends," she began. "Whether you're surrounded by family, thinking of someone far away or finding quiet moments to yourself, well I hope your heart feels full of hope and joy today. May your holiday be filled with peace, laughter and memories that warm your soul wherever you may be in the world."

She added, "From my family to yours, Merry Christmas."
