Mariah Carey 'set to make directorial debut with festive movie Christmas Melody starring her favourite Mean Girls actress Lacey Chabert'
Her single All I Want For Christmas Is You has become somewhat of a festive anthem.
And it looks like Mariah Carey is hoping to extend her hold over Christmas with a new Hallmark movie which will see the 45-year-old singer in the director's chair.
Titled Christmas Melody, the movie will star actress Lacey Chabert, best known for her role as Gretchen Weiners in hit teen movie Mean Girls.

Is there anything she can't do? All I Want For Christmas Is You singer Mariah Carey is hoping to extend her hold over Christmas with a new Hallmark movie which will see the 45-year-old singer in the director's chair
According to TMZ, Lacey was Mariah's only request before she agreed to direct the movie, as the 33-year-old actress played her favourite character from her best-loved flick.
Filming is already underway for the project, having kicked off in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday.
But while the singing sensation is trying her hand at directing, it seems acting is still a no go for the star.

Mariah will have a large musical input however, and will feature her music throughout the film.
The American songwriter does boast an incredibly close friendship to X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner, though it's unknown if the movie maverick has offered Mariah any advice.
Carey's directorial debut is set to air on the Hallmark Channel on December 19.
Busy girl! The singer also recently teamed up with Mac to launch her own lipstick
Meanwhile, career-driven Mariah recently launched her own lipstick line with beauty brand Mac.
Paying tribute to the era that launched her career, the star has created a 'beautiful champagne shimmer' lipstick inspired by the nineties.
Just like her new movie, the product is set to be released just in time for the holiday season.
