The song is a remix of Mariah Carey's 2010 hit and is part of the soundtrack on Mariah's new Magical Christmas Special on Apple TV+.
The remix comes after Mariah previously hinted at its upcoming release back in October, when she shared this photo featuring director chairs with the initials "AG," "MC," and "JH."
🎄
Fans were convinced the other initials were for Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson, and they were right!!!
Ariana even joined in on the How It Started / How It's Going meme to share her excitement about the release.
how it started / how it's going 🌨 #ohsanta friday @mariahcarey @iamjhud
BUT in addition to Jennifer, Ariana, and Mariah's combined POWERFUL VOCALS, there is ~something else~ about the song that people just can't stop talking about...
Mariah and Ariana decided to show off and harmonize not just their voices, but their actual whistle notes, and you just need to hear it for yourself:
