Mariah Carey to release new video for 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' at midnight Friday

WATCH: Mariah Carey's Christmas original tops Hot 100 25 years after debut

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" may still sound as fresh as the day it was recorded 25 years ago, but the video is looking a bit dated, since it shows a 24-year-old Carey frolicking in the snow.

It's no wonder Carey has now created an updated version of her No. 1 holiday smash.

On Wednesday, the singer tweeted, "I can't wait for you to see my new video for #AllIWantForChristmasIsYou. Tune in for the live stream of the world premiere on YouTube tomorrow at 11:30pm ET! Submit questions for the live Q&A using the hashtag #AllIWantIsANewVideo."

There's also a preview on Instagram showing the singer dressed in a Santa bodysuit in a winter wonderland setting with dancers, Santas, skaters, snow and more.

It's not all about celebrating, though: Releasing a new video will increase the streaming numbers of Carey's holiday hit, which will help keep the song atop the chart longer.
