The soon-to-be 28-year-old covered Carey's 'Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)' from her 1994 holiday album, and took to her Instagram to share the reason why she decided to do it. 

"Wanted to sing one of my favorite Christmas songs and pay homage to the QUEEN @mariahcarey ... imagine being so dope that you single handedly own an entire holiday season!!!!!??! Her voice and writing has enchanted and inspired me since I was a little girl... so when she started following me on Twitter I ABSOLUTELY let out a loud shriek and shared the screen shot with every group chat in my phone," JoJo said.
