Get ready to deck the halls, San Francisco because Mariah Carey, the undisputed "Queen of Christmas," is slated to bring her festive extravaganza to the city. Carey is notably marking the 30th anniversary of her 'Merry Christmas' album with a 20-city "Christmas Time Tour" set to spread cheer across the nation this fall. The tour, which includes a stop in Music City's Bridgestone Arena on November 25, 2024, was announced by WSMV, making it clear that fans can expect a nostalgic trip with hits like "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

With tickets poised to become available for the Bridgestone Arena show, fans holding their Verizon canisters will receive first dibs on Tuesday, August 6, followed by various presales running through the week. The frenzy is expected to culminate with the general sale kicking off on Friday, August 9 at 10 a.m. Live Nation shared, according to WKRN, that this is more than a concert— it's essentially a seasonal tradition with Carey's classic chart-toppers adding to the holiday spirit.

Not confined to Nashville, the yuletide celebration will also make its way to Austin, as reported by CBS Austin. The tour is destined for the Moody Center on November 17, 2024. Fans in Austin can gear up to secure their spots with a pre-sale beginning August 8—remember to mark the code "RAINEY." The general ticket panic starts a day later on August 9, giving everyone a shot at witnessing the holiday queen in action.

The trek is not just a concert tour; it's a momentous occasion celebrating three decades since Carey's 'Merry Christmas' album graced the world with its presence, solidifying her as a perennial holiday soundtrack. The show will reportedly be a blend of festive favorites and the immense hits that keep her fans coming back year after year. Featuring special guest DJ Suss One, as noted by CBS Austin, the show is more than just a nostalgic nod to the '90s—it's a bridge to the soundtrack of many Christmases to come.
