This is Mariah Carey's version of the tune from her first holiday album, Merry Christmas. The show, designed by renowned lighting designer Marc Brickman, will premiere on December 19 and will be synced live each night at 7:00pm ET on iHeartMedia New York's light music radio channel until December 25.

The event is a part of a month-long celebration which features stunning holiday decorations in the building's windows and Art Deco lobby, appearances by surprise guests and a pianist playing a selection of holiday favourites.
