Mariah Carey is making her White House Christmas dreams come true — getting a chance to “ring in the holiday season” with President Biden and Vice President Harris.

The “All I Want for Christmas is You” singer shared photos on Instagram on Wednesday of her recent visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

“Last week I had the pleasure of meeting President Biden and Vice President Harris at the White House to ring in the holiday season!” Carey posted to her nearly 13 million followers.

“While there, we got to see all the festive decor and spread some cheer!” the 54-year-old Grammy Award winner said.

Carey shared snapshots of her smiling with her kids, Monroe and Moroccan, as they checked out the White House’s “Magic, Wonder, and Joy” themed décor. Other photos showed the performer posing alongside Biden in the Oval Office and speaking with Harris. 

Biden posted a Carey-inspired message about the music star’s visit Thursday on social media, borrowing the phrase she uses each year to welcome the holiday season: “It’s time!” 

In a video, Biden is seen greeting Carey and telling her, “I’m a fan,” before playing her classic Christmas tune for the songstress from a phone.

“Oh, we love it!” Carey exclaimed.

It’s not the first time that Carey’s seemingly rooted on Biden with her Christmastime mega-hit, which was released in 1994 and has shot to the top of the Billboard charts every year since 2019.

In November 2020, she shared a viral video of Biden supporters dancing to “All I Want for Christmas is You” a day after Biden won the presidential election.

Approximately 100,000 visitors are expected throughout the holiday season at the White House.
