NEW YORK — Mariah Carey announced on Giving Tuesday that she’s giving away the keys to the kingdom during the most wonderful time of the year.
The pop superstar known as “The Queen of Christmas” has joined forces with online travel agency Booking.com for an “Ultimate Holiday Experience” that will include exclusive one-on-time in her Tribeca penthouse and tickets to her sold out Madison Square Garden show.
The Big Apple getaway (priced at $20.19) will commemorate Carey’s ubiquitous holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas” first topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
“Christmas in New York is an experience of a lifetime, so I partnered with Booking.com to create a special holiday-themed travel experience in my hometown during the most wonderful time of the year,” Carey explained in a statement on Tuesday.
Two lucky fans will win a three-night stay from Dec. 16 to Dec. 19 at New York City’s Plaza Hotel (where “Home Alone 2″ and “Eloise at the Plaza” were set). The package also includes a private, guided tour of Top of the Rock to get a bird’s eye view of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, tickets to Radio City Music Hall’s “Christmas Spectacular,” a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue and reservations at the superstar’s favorite restaurants.
But the piece de resistance of the entire experience is a private cocktail hour in the five-time Grammy winner’s New York City penthouse, followed by a Christmas card photo shoot on her rooftop terrace.
“Mariah Carey’s Ultimate Holiday Experience” will go on sale Dec. 14 at 5 p.m. ET.
The Songwriter Hall of Famer officially kicked off the season during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
