With the New York City air getting frostier by the day and our letters to Santa growing longer, one thing’s for certain and two thing’s for sure: it’s time! We know it, you know it, and Gucci clearly knows it, as they hosted a special party to celebrate their newest holiday campaign starring Mariah Carey . But it wouldn’t be a true holiday party without the Queen of Christmas in attendance, so when Mariah Carey pulled up, we knew they came to sleigh. Guests toasted spiked apple cider and enjoyed their Gucci-adorned chocolates, partaking in this glamorous party fit for the most glamorous star. In the midst of all the holiday festivities, Carey cozied up with Interview’s E ditor-in-Chief Mel Ottenberg to talk bubble baths, green room essentials, and the number one thing on her wishlist this Christmas.
MONDAY 8:00 PM NOVEMBER 2, 2026 NEW YORK CITY
MEL OTTENBERG: Hey, it’s Mel! I’m here at the Gucci holiday party with Mariah Fucking Carey. Let’s go find her. Hey.
OTTENBERG: Mariah Carey, where are we at?
OTTENBERG: Mariah, are you spiritually ready for Christmas this year?
CAREY: I’m always spiritually ready for Christmas even in the summer.
OTTENBERG: Cheers, Mariah. Happy Holidays. What are you obsessed with right now?
OTTENBERG: Were you always obsessed with Christmas, or now more than ever?
CAREY: It’s equal to when I was growing up and I loved Christmas.
OTTENBERG: Can you share with us a green room ritual that you always have?
CAREY: I usually have iced tea. That’s why we’re having our iced tea now.
OTTENBERG: What’s something you’re so over right now?
OTTENBERG: Besides Mariah Carey, who’s the greatest of all time?
CAREY: I’m going to say Muhammad Ali because he always said, “I am the greatest.” The greatest of all time.
OTTENBERG: What’s your favorite song to play in the bubble bath?
CAREY: I just like spa music in a bubble bath.
OTTENBERG: After a long, delicious bubble bath, what does Mariah Carey do?
CAREY: You apply lotion and oil. [Laughs]
OTTENBERG: I literally did black out from your glamor. What is the most glamorous night of your entire life?
CAREY: It’s for me to be like, “This is the epitome of glamor.” I don’t know how to do that.
OTTENBERG: What’s a sweet fantasy that you’re obsessed with?
CAREY: Really good candy. When I was having my Halloween moment, I was having that. Pour champagne and put a little bit of chocolate inside the glass. Yeah, it’s good. Tasty treat.
OTTENBERG: Mariah, why can’t it just be magic all the time?
CAREY: I don’t know. Isn’t it? Shouldn’t it be?
CAREY: Like, I block everything else out that’s not magical and then we’re just in the magical place that we’re in right now. It’s magic.
OTTENBERG: What’s the one thing you want for your Christmas this year?
OTTENBERG: We have to spread Christmas cheer, Christmas awareness.
