Mariah Carey is throwing it back to the nineties.

The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” singer, 55, revived her signature curls from the bygone era for a night out at Catch Steak restaurant in Aspen, Colorado, where she’s celebrating the holidays.

Carey styled her caramel blond spiral ringlets in a half-up, half-down hairdo that cascaded over her shoulders.

For her evening-out look, the Grammy-winning musician braved the cold in a fuzzy white ankle-length coat, a cream mini dress and beige knee-high boots with a subtle texture.

Along with her signature curls, she sported long lashes, flushed cheeks and glossy pink lips.

She stepped out with her family, including her nephew, Shawn McDonald, who shared a pic with Mariah “right before our annual family sleigh ride” on Instagram earlier this week.

In the ’90s, when Carey was first amassing attention, she became known for her trademark curly locks.

In 2022, the biracial singer spoke to Meghan Markle on her “Archetypes” podcast about some of the challenges of having natural hair in the entertainment industry.

“People were saying, ‘girl next door’ … because there was also this ambiguity about me, racially, that fed into that, and those curls,” Carey said, referring to her “Dreamlover” music video in 1993.

“Here’s the thing: They didn’t know how to do my hair, because if it was a white hairdresser that had never dealt with textured hair, they would tend to do a different thing,” she continued. “And my hair would be like, ‘You’re not doing that!’”

And even when she had a hairstylist who worked with natural hair, Carey explained, “it would become too much product and too much weight.”

Carey — aka, the queen of Christmas — seems to be having a ball in Colorado this week.

The musician spent Christmas Eve cooking in a bedazzled custom Bryan Hearns apron and hanging around the house wearing a medley of chic winter looks.

Meanwhile, on the big day, she took holiday dressing to the next level by slipping into a Mrs. Claus-looking red velvet dress and a fuzzy white shawl outfit.

On Monday, Carey sparked romance rumors with Anderson .Paak as they were seen holding hands while grabbing dinner in Aspen — and the superstar singer glittered in a lamé Gucci outfit that cost almost $20,000.
