"As a little girl, I didn’t have a lot of toys or things," Carey told People magazine about growing up in Long Island with her mom, an opera singer. "The one thing I really wanted was Superstar Barbie. When I first started working with the people at Barbie, they sent me a bunch of Superstar Barbies and it was really sweet."
Carey's own Barbie likeness is perfect for Christmas.
"When I saw my doll, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is so cute.' Because it's based on the Christmas dress I wear in the second 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' video," she said. "They wouldn't let the 'V' in the dress be quite as low as it is in the video. But I understand because it's a holiday and everything else. But I'm like, 'Oh, Barbie, very demure.'"
Carey says she's excited to have her likeness immortalized by one of the most famous dolls of all time, right when Barbie has sold more than a billion dolls while "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has been streamed more than a billion times on Spotify.
"If I could go back and tell my little-girl self that one day I would have a Barbie made in my likeness, I would flip out!" Carey said.
