The trailer is soundtracked by a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “What Christmas Means to Me.” So far, there has been no teaser for Mariah’s title track for The Star.
This holiday season, Mariah is also set to narrate an animated film based on her holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” She is also currently developing a drama series based on her life and readying a new album through her recently-announced Butterfly MC Records label.
