Episode 20 - Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
Love it. Hate it. Hear it against your will every December.
This week on Songs on the Couch, we tackle the most unavoidable Christmas song of all time: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” We break down how a song written in 1994 became a yearly cultural event, a retail worker’s nightmare, and a festive juggernaut that refuses to die.
On the couch, we explore the psychology behind why this song brings some people joy and sends others into a blind rage. From nostalgia manipulation and overexposure fatigue to forced cheer and seasonal emotional overload, we ask the big question: do people actually hate the song…or what it represents?
Lets unwrap the song everyone pretends they don’t know all the words to!
