According to a casting call handed to us via our undercover sourses in LA, the video will be filmed this week in Los Angeles. Despite previous reports, her husband Nick Cannon will not direct. “I am NOT directing,” tweeted Nick. “Ur Welcome LAMBS LOL.”
The vid is said to have a “slight OutKast ‘Hey Ya!’ ‘American Bandstand’ approach, perfectly blending retro and modern vibes.” The casting ad called for a host that resembles Ed Sullivan or Dick Clark, who will introduce Mariah and her performance.
“Oh Santa!” will be included on the sequel to her 1994 Merry Christmas album, featuring four original songs composed by Mariah, along with classics such as “The First Noel,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

It may only be September, but Mariah Carey is getting in the holiday spirit. The pop diva has revealed the festive artwork and select song titles from the sequel to her holiday album.
The new collection of seasonal tunes is titled Merry Christmas II You and arrives Nov. 2, as TheMoMoShow.com first reported. 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.”
Mariah’s official website has unveiled the official cover artwork shot earlier this year by famed photographer David LaChapelle. The Grammy-winning songstress dons her Santa outfit from her 1994 album, and is pictured kneeling on a snowy city rooftop while a snowman and Christmas lights twinkle in the background.
The project will include a brand new recording of “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” plus traditional yuletide fare such as “The First Noel,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.” In addition, there are four original songs composed by Mariah, including the newsingle “Oh Santa.”
Randy Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, James Poyser (The Roots, Lauryn Hill), and award-winning composer Marc Shaiman are among the producers. “Oh Santa,” the first single from Mariah’s new Holiday album, Merry Christmas II You, is currently scheduled to premiere at radio on Monday, October 11.
