In the video, in which Carey poses on a couch in traditional Christmas pajamas, the 2015 book adaptation of the song is displayed. The children's book, written by Carey herself and illustrated by Colleen Madden, tells the story of a young girl who dreams of getting a puppy for Christmas. Mariah is also holding a puppy in the clip, but it is not yet confirmed whether the movie plot will follow that of the book.
