A couple of weeks ago we learned that Mariah Carey is planning the release of her second Xmas album due out later this year, 16 years after she released her first Xmas album back in 1994. Today we learn the title of said new Xmas album:

Mariah Carey may or may not be pregnant, but one thing’s for sure, she will be delivering a bundle of joy this holiday season. The sequel to the pop songbird’s Christmas album has been given an official title and due date. Rap-Up.com has exclusively learned that Mimi’s upcoming holiday project will be called Merry Christmas II You. The II represents the follow-up to 1994’s multi-platinum Merry Christmas album, which spawned the now-classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The new offering is scheduled for a November 2 release and will include original material as well as covers of holiday classics. An accompanying DVD will also be released the same day, but there are currently no details on what exactly it will contain. The packaging was shot in the spring by famed photographer David LaChapelle and features a festive setting with fake snow, tinsel, and wooden reindeers. Mariah’s manager Chris Lighty tweeted that she is working with the Home Shopping Network (HSN) to promote the project.

As I said before, Mimi‘s original Xmas song All I Want For Christmas Is You which is featured on her 1994 Xmas album is one of my all-time favorite Xmas songs:

We learned previously that a new remix of that track will be included on this new album Merry Christmas II You. I’m hopeful that there will be at least one other hit Xmas song on this new disc … but I’m not holding my breath. Mimi struck pure gold with AIWFCIY and I doubt she’ll be able to match the success of that track … but she’s gonna try, gosh darn it. Merry Christmas II You will hit stores on November 2. Do you think you’ll be stuffing your stockings with this new offering from MC?
