<P> In 2010, Carey re-recorded the song for her thirteenth studio and second holiday album, Merry Christmas II You . Titled "All I Want for Christmas Is You (Extra Festive)", the new version featured re-recorded vocals, softer bell ringing and stronger drumming, and an orchestral introduction that replaced the slow vocal introduction . Steven J. Horowitz from Rap - Up wrote that the new version "sound (ed) just as enjoyable as it did in 1994 ." While the song was praised, it drew criticism for being too similar to the original . Thomas Connor from the Chicago Sun - Times wrote that the new version "just seems to add a few brassy backup singers to the exact same arrangement ." Caryn Ganz from Rolling Stone agreed, writing that it was "hard to figure out what's' extra festive"' about the new version . Dan Hancox, editor of The National, also felt the new version was unnecessary .
