Mariah Carey Starring in Funny or Die Holiday Sketch Series

(NEW YORK) — If all you want for Christmas is more Mariah Carey, you’ll be very happy with this announcement. The singer and unofficial Queen of Christmas is joining forces with the website Funny or Die to star in an eight-episode sketch series called Mariah’s Holiday Sketchtacular. The sketches follow Mariah through a variety of hilarious holiday hijinks.

Entertainment Weekly reports that one of the bits will be a holiday cooking show, much like her “Cooking with Mariah” Funny or Die video from earlier this year. Another sketch will feature Mariah auditioning Santas for a new concert series, and yet another will include an animated retelling of  “ ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

“I loved collaborating with Funny or Die on this series of holiday-themed sketches,” Carey says in a statement obtained by EW. “These videos are fun, festive and full of holiday cheer, and I had an absolute blast making them.”

The series launches today on Verizon’s go90 video app.

After her busy holiday season is complete, Mariah won’t be slowing down in the new year. She’ll embark on her first European tour in 13 years this spring.
