Mariah Carey made a special appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday.

Backstage before the show, Jimmy, Mariah and The Roots grabbed some instruments you'd find in an elementary school classroom and stopped by the Late Night "Music Room" to sing Mariah's holiday classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." (see instrument list below)

Jimmy Fallon - wood block, tambourine, bass drum, kazoo
Mariah Carey - vocals
Questlove - wooden clacker w/ afro pick
Mark Kelley - Fisher Price xylophone
Kamal Gray - recorder
James Poyser - melodica
Captain Kirk - ukulele
Tuba Gooding Jr. - kazoo
Frank Knuckles - bongos
Black Thought - sleigh bells

Carey is currently busy in her new role as a judge on American Idol; the show’s new season premieres January 16 on FOX.

A few months ago, Mariah released her new single, “Triumphant (Get ‘Em).” The song is the first single from Carey’s forthcoming new album, due out next year.
