The Queen of Christmas takes centre stage in Gucci’s latest festive campaign, bringing her signature glamour to the House’s new Butterfly collection and luxury gift selection
Christmas has officially arrived at Gucci, and who better to usher in the festive season than Mariah Carey? The Italian luxury fashion house has unveiled its 2026 Gucci Gift Campaign, starring the global music icon in a celebration of fashion, festive extravagance and unmistakable Gucci attitude.
Directed by filmmaker Harmony Korine, the campaign brings together two cultural powerhouses for a playful take on the holiday season, complete with extravagant decorations, statement fashion and the familiar sounds of Carey’s Christmas anthem.
Mariah Carey Takes Over Gucci for Christmas
Set inside a hotel preparing for the arrival of Mariah Carey, the campaign film captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding the festive season.
From elaborate decorations to the final preparations for a glamorous celebration, the setting takes on a distinctly Gucci personality. As Carey’s iconic hit All I Want for Christmas Is You fills the air, the festivities officially begin.
The collaboration celebrates Carey’s enduring influence on popular culture and her status as one of the most recognisable figures associated with Christmas.
Gucci’s Butterfly Collection Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the Gucci Holiday Campaign 2026 is the new Butterfly special collection, worn by Carey throughout the film.
Inspired by the iridescent beauty of butterflies, the collection pays tribute to a motif closely associated with the singer. The butterfly also holds personal significance for Carey, having inspired the title of her celebrated 1997 album, Butterfly.
The collection brings together the singer’s signature symbolism and Gucci’s expressive design language, creating a festive fashion moment that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

Beyond the campaign film, Gucci has introduced a series of images highlighting its curated selection of luxury Christmas gifts for 2026.
The collection spans statement handbags, designer footwear and winter accessories, offering inspiration for everything from festive celebrations to holiday escapes.
Among the standout pieces are shimmering interpretations of the Starlet, Gucci duffle and GG Marmont bags, alongside the Paparazzo bag in soft suede.
Footwear takes an equally prominent role, with GG Monogram boots, the House’s signature Horsebit loafers, Ace sneakers and Vittoria pumps included in the festive selection.
For those seeking smaller luxury gifts, Gucci also presents winter accessories, including hats and scarves, featuring recognisable House signatures.
A New Chapter of Festive Glamour for Gucci
Founded in Florence in 1921, Gucci continues to build on its heritage of Italian craftsmanship while exploring new expressions of contemporary luxury.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Francesca Bellettini and the artistic direction of Demna, the House’s latest holiday campaign embraces creativity, celebrity culture and the playful spirit that has long defined the brand.
With Mariah Carey leading the celebrations, Gucci’s 2026 festive campaign offers a glamorous reminder that Christmas is as much about the excitement of the season as it is about the gifts beneath the tree.
