James even brought Mariah an early Christmas gift when he picked her up — a Christmas tree tied to the roof of his SUV.

Mariah showed off her cleavage in a bedazzled lace bra under a red leather jacket, teamed with tight ripped jeans and black lace-up stilettos.

Her long blonde locks were styled in her signature waves, and she flashed her massive engagement ring from billionaire fiance James Packer.

James meanwhile sported a bright green "ugly Christmas jumper" featuring a picture of Santa Claus and some snowmen.

Mariah is known to be a massive fan of Christmas, once : “I start planning my Christmas in June.

“It’s absolutely my favourite holiday and I’ve always loved everything about this time of year."

The star released a Christmas album, Merry Christmas, in 1994.

It went on to become the best-selling Christmas album of all time, with the song All I Want for Christmas Is You becoming one of the best-selling singles.

Last year she starred in the musical comedy film A Christmas Melody, based on the hit album.

James later revealed the diva refused to sing at first, saying she'd been up all night and wasn't up to it.

The host told Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show: "She came out and said, 'Oh, I'm not singing today,' and she went, 'We'll just drive around and have a chat.'

"I went, 'Oh, right. It's just, we call it Carpool Karaoke, so without that...'

"And then I thought, I've just gotta go. I've just gotta jump into it."
