She may have lost her bid to trademark the term ‘Queen of Christmas’ but it turns out all pop-star Mariah Carey wants this year is a pair of guests to house sit her Manhattan apartment.

As part of a promotion with Booking.com Mariah is inviting two fans to New York to experience an “Ultimate Holiday Experience” including a visit to the singer’s Manhattan penthouse.

“The bookers will get a glimpse into all that New York has to offer around the holidays, while enjoying some of my favourite things to do and restaurants to dine in the city,” said the star.

While guests will be decamped to the Plaza hotel overnight, they are invited to cocktails and a greetings card photoshoot on the roof of the pop-star’s luxury apartment. It’s your chance to spend a day in the advent calendar of the singer whose festive hit ‘All I want For Christmas ‘ has earnt her a reported $60 million in royalties.

This Fairytale of New York experience also includes festive activities including ice skating at the Rockefeller and tickets to Carey’s Christmas concert.

It’s also a perfect opportunity for some last-minute Christmas shopping, staying near the Saks Fifth Avenue. The booking also includes a variety of Christmas treats, including a copy of Mariah Carey’s new book The Christmas Princess.

The money-can’t buy experience is being listed on Booking.com as part of the promotion and will be bookable exclusively “on a first-come, first-served basis.”

The trip, including flights, accommodation, local transport and activities is being listed at US$20.19 - to mark the year Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” first reached #1 on the US Billboard chart.

“You better watch out,” as Carey’s ‘Ultimate Holiday Experience’ goes on sale on 14 December 14 at 5pm Eastern Time ( 10am NZDT on 15 December).

Like Christmas, this experience comes just once a year, but the lucky pair will pack a lot into their New York holiday.
