Mariah Carey, 55, looked suitably festive as she stepped out in Aspen, Colorado on Saturday dressed in a knitted red mini-dress with snowy white accessories. 

The All I Want for Christmas hitmaker, whose 30-year-old hit tops the charts almost every year, was seen indulging in some pre-Christmas shopping in the upscale ski resort, slipping into a berry-red long-sleeved mini dress paired with Chanel accessories. 

The vocalist rocked a Chanel knitted beanie hat along with matching fur-lined gloves, which she paired with knee-high snow boots that had a chunky heel.

Mariah's golden blonde hair tumbled past her shoulders in a sleek, straight style, as the singer opted for a frosted pink lip gloss to complete her Mrs Claus-inspired ensemble.

Plagued by health concerns, the Grammy Award winner pulled out of shows at Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center and Belmont Park, New York's UBS Arena after suffering from a bout of flu that left her unable to perform. "Newark and Belmont — I wish I had better news but unfortunately I'm still sick and have to cancel the shows tonight [Dec. 13] and on Sunday," she penned on X (formerly Twitter). 

"I'm really devastated about it and appreciate your support. Love, MC," she added, alongside a broken heart emoji.

The news came as a disappointment to fans, who were told days before that Mariah's Pittsburgh show would be cancelled due to her illness.

"Pittsburgh, I am sorry to say, I've come down with the flu. It breaks my heart that I unfortunately have to cancel tonight's show. I love you all so much," she tweeted at the time.
