Mariah Carey is waiting to unwrap another Christmas present for her lambs. In addition to shooting a video with Justin Bieber for "All I Want for Christmas Is You," the pop songbird has joined forces with John Legend on a remix to her holiday song "When Christmas Comes."
She teased with a video of herself driving through the snow playing a snippet of the remix. The original song, produced by The Roots’ James Poyser, appears on her 2010 holiday album Merry Christmas II You.
"Coming soon, a legendary musical collabo. #WhenChristmasComes Sorry for the camera work, the snow made it pip!" tweeted MC. "So.. that was a snippet of the RnB Christmas collabo – me & the legendary John, soon to be topping your Christmas list! P.S. It’s a SGSHW!"

Justin Bieber Shoots "Classic" Video With Mariah
Mariah and Justin Bieber have been busy shooting the music video for their duet on "All I Want For Christmas Is You" at Macy's in New York City! Check out the first two photos from the videoshoot:
Justin Bieber has been very busy this week. He dropped a new album, Under the Mistletoe on Tuesday, appeared on "Dancing With the Stars," freestyled over the Throne's "Otis," and not only shot a music video with Boyz II Men for "Fa La La," but also managed to squeeze in a shoot with Mariah Carey.
Bieber and Carey both tweeted about the video for their reimagining of her classic holiday tune "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
"Might have to go shoot this video with @mariahcarey for our duet! focused on the positives ... the music. #UNDERTHEMISTLETOE," Bieber tweeted about the shoot, referring to a California woman's claim that he fathered her child.
"4:30am and going hard on the 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' shoot with @mariahcarey !! #superfestive #underthemistletoe," he later shared. The original video for the tune, shot to look like a home video, features Carey decked out in skimpy Santa suits and snow-bunny garb, running around decorating Christmas trees, playing in the snow, hanging with Santa and his elves, and generally getting into the holiday spirit.
Mariah Carey seemed equally stoked about the video shoot, gushing about it on her Twitter: "Shooting the final take of 'All I Want.' duet with surprise appearance by Jilly beans & directed by my friend, the wonderful Sanaa Hamri," she said, noting that the shoot was made even more special because it coincided with one of her personal milestones.
"Happy anniversary to [my album] MERRY CHRISTMAS II YOU!!!" she added.
"On the night we're shooting the new 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' with @justinbieber."
Hamri has shot videos for Carey's "Crybaby," "Bringing on the Heartbreak" and "Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)," as well as clips for Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z and Christina Aguilera.
The shoot lasted all night, with Bieber tweeting Thursday morning (November 3) that Carey and the crew had wrapped up. "Just wrapped the ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU with the icon and amazing @mariahcarey!" he wrote. "HONORED and I think this video is gonna b classic!"
Bieber told MTV News that getting Carey to join him for the duet was surprisingly easy. "Mariah Carey is doing it with me! It's incredible. So excited," he said. "We wanted Mariah from the beginning, but we kind of thought it was really hard, so we didn't really push the idea. But she's on my label, so we reached out to some people, she got in contact with us, and Randy Jackson was actually at the studio with us, and I was like, 'Yo, you think you can help get Mariah on the Christmas album?' And he was like, 'I'm actually going to see her in New York on Monday,' and I was like 'Yo, go do that!' "

Mariah Carey Guests on Uncle Murda's "Warning"
East New York MC Uncle Murda has friends in high places, and he's out to prove it on the remix for his street hit "Warning."
Mariah Carey, 50 Cent and Young Jeezy stop by on Murda's redux, and the track begins with Mrs. Cannon talking about something she's lost.
"How can I explain the fact that I don't know where my sock drawer is," Carey says with a laugh. "I don't know. OK, Let's stop the questions there."
50 Cent comes in on the second verse warning others of sleeping with the wrong person.
"Everything cool 'til I black out, oh you goon' get it, " 50 Cent spits. "Run, you back up, be my target, oh I'm gon' hit it. N---as see me with the strap out, oh they start snitching. F--- the wrong bitch then it's oh when you're pissing."
Elsewhere, Young Jeezy addresses those who say the MC's fallen off of his game.
"I gets money, I gets money, oh, I'm having paper," Jeezy says. "Man I'm saying f--- the playing, oh these n---as haters. When they thought that I was over, I'm like oh you n---as trippin', I'm out with Wink Loc in Brooklyn, like oh these n---as crippin'."
Uncle Murda was signed to Roc-A-Fella in 2007 but left the label not long after the following year. The "Warning (remix)" featuring Mariah Carey, 50 Cent and Young Jeezy follows the first redux, which boasted Vado, Cam'Ron, Jim Jones, French Montana, Jadakiss and Styles P.

Meet Nick and Mariah's Twins!
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's babies are ready for their close-ups!The star couple's 6-month-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, made their TV debut on 20/20 Friday night during an interview their parents gave to Barbara Walters.
Along with the joy and pride of being a first-time mom, Carey, who told Walters she does not want to have more children, spoke about her difficult pregnancy.
"I don't think I understood the enormity or the magnitude of what it really does to your body," she explained. "Like it's not just, oh you don't look pretty and you have a bump."
But parenthood certainly seems to suit the couple. "My family gives me everything," Cannon gushed.
"It's just love," Carey said. "It's a beautiful place to be."
While dad expects Moroccan and Monroe "to get a PhD," Carey suggested that she wants them to follow in her footsteps. "They really respond to music," she said, before singing to the babies in their Manhattan nursery.
Lullabies may come easy for Carey – who brought them into the world to the tune of her song "Fantasy" – but opening herself up to marriage again was a different story.
"I never believe that anybody really likes me," she admitted after Cannon – who showed off his huge "Mariah" tattoo on his back – told her she's been his crush from day one. "I always think it's some kind of joke or something."
While Carey doesn't specifically address her music mogul ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, she does say that her failed marriage in 1998 made her hesitant to say "I do" a second time.
"Initially I was afraid of the concept of marriage [again]," she said. "But this is a different situation and a different time in my life."
Now, Carey insists, "No one will steal my spirit."
