Mariah Carey loves to go all out for Christmas each year. Look no further than her sparkling butterfly-festooned trees, her new children’s book, and her attempt to make her title, the Queen of Christmas, official in the eyes of U.S. trademark law.

Now, she’s rolling out the red carpet for a pair of lucky fans to ring in the holiday season with just as much glittery fabulousness—by inviting them to her TriBeCa penthouse.

That’s right: As part of a partnership with Booking.com, the Christmas chanteuse will offer two guests the ultimate New York holiday vacation, complete with a private cocktail hour in her Mario Buatta–designed penthouse (forever immortalized in that 2002 episode of Cribs), a professional Christmas card photoshoot on her roof terrace, and tickets to see her perform at Madison Square Garden.

But that’s not all, Mariah’s Ultimate Holiday Experience also includes a three-night stay at the Plaza, a shopping spree at Saks, dinner at Mr. Chow and Nobu (Carey’s fave restaurants), private skating and hot cocoa at Rockefeller Center, a meet-and-greet with a Rockette, and more.

“Christmas in New York is an experience of a lifetime, so I partnered with Booking.com to create a special holiday-themed travel experience in my hometown during the most wonderful time of the year,” Carey said in a statement. “For one time only, I’m giving two fans the opportunity to have an unforgettable and magical extravaganza!”

For a chance to win, head over to Booking.com Wednesday, December 14, at 5 p.m. E.T. and submit your reservation for just $20.19 (a nod to the year Carey’s smash-hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hit number one). According to a Booking.com spokesperson, the first person to successfully complete the booking process will win and be flown to New York City that Friday for a Christmas to remember.
