This year has truly been the year from hell, but the one thing 2020 *has* blessed us with is the collaboration of a lifetime. Here to raise everyone’s collective spirit and get us in the mood for Christmas (which is in approx three weeks, have you started your shopping yet?) is the holiest of trinities—Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, and Jennifer Hudson are making history with their remix of Mariah’s delightful holiday bop “Oh Santa!”

Like the many Christmas songs before it, “Oh Santa!” sees Mariah, J.Hud, and Ari begging Mr. Claus to grant them a miracle and make the person they’re longing for leave their dowdy partner to spend the holidays with them instead, LOL. Of course, they promise Santa the usual offerings (milk and cookies and a sparkling tree to gawk at) in exchange for his efforts, but TBH, the girlies aren’t so sure if he’ll have enough time to grant their wish since he’s super busy with delivering presents and whatnot. It’s a real treat!

We could all use some Mariah and Ari harmonizing in whistle tones, so hit the play button below and follow along with the lyrics. You know, so you have enough time to belt out this song verbatim come December 25 after too many cups of spiked hot cocoa.

[Intro: background vocalists, Jennifer Hudson and Ariana Grande]
Oh, Santa’s gonna come and make him mine this Christmas
Santa’s gonna come and make him mine, mine (oh, Santa)
Oh, Santa’s gonna come and make him mine this Christmas (oh, Santa)
Santa’s gonna come and make him mine, mine

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and Ariana Grande]
Santa, if you get this letter, won’t you help me out?
I know you’re kind of busy with your elves right now
And I don’t know how
You do the things you do when I sleep on Christmas Eve
But it’s amazing
And I bet that you could bring me back my baby
Because every time I see Christmas lights
I feel this void inside and I just can’t take it

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, all]
I saw them shopping last week
And his new girl was so bleak
And then I swore to myself
Santa’s gonna come and make him minе this Christmas night

[Chorus: Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and Ariana Grande]
Ho, ho, ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ comе and make him mine, ho, ho, ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas night

[Verse 2: Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Mariah Carey, all]
Oh, Santa, I heard that it’s really gonna snow this year
So I hope Rudolph and his other eight reindeer get you safely here
So you can swoop him up and swoop him right down my chimney
I’ve been really, really, really good this year
So put on that red suit and make him appear
Because Christmas cheer just ain’t the same without my baby
Come on, ol’ Kris Kringle, save me

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, all]
They say it’s unrealistic, but I believe in you, Saint Nick
So grant this wish for me right quick
Santa, won’t you come and make him mine this Christmas night?

[Chorus: all, Jennifer Hudson, (Ariana Grande), background vocalists]
Ho, ho, ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, ho, ho, ho
Santa’s gon’ make him mine this Christmas night
Oh Santa, oh Santa (oh)
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, mine
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3: Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and Ariana Grande]
Oh, Santa Claus
If you get this letter, please don’t make me wait
’Cause all December, I’ve been counting down the days
So hop on your sleigh
I promise that I won’t forget the milk and cookies
The tree’s all sparkly and gold
But inside, I feel so cold
So as soon as you leave the North Pole
Santa, won’t you come and make him mine this Christmas?

[Chorus: background vocalists, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, (Ariana Grande)]
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, ho, ho, ho
(Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine)
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas
(Oh, I know you will)
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, ho, ho, ho (whoa, whoa)
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, mine (Santa)
(Hey, I know he will)
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, ho, ho, ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, ho, ho, ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make him mine, mine

[Outro: Mariah Carey]
Oh, Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
