Mariah Carey is on the cover of Aspen Peak magazine, so no wonder she's going to be in town Boxing Day (Dec. 26) for a launch party at the Hotel Jerome for the issue.

Her people say she'll mingle, talk about an upcoming movie and her new perfume and tell who she's gonna kiss on New Year's Eve.

"I love the vibe of Aspen," she tells Aspen Peak. "Not necessarily the whole paparazzi-celebrity thing, which is cool, but I do stuff like going on sleigh rides with friends. Being out in Aspen is always so amazing and picturesque."

Asked where she's going to stay in Aspen, Carey says, "I don't know yet, but it has to have a hot tub. ... It's a tradition for us to have Santa Claus-looking bikinis, jump out of the hot tub, and roll in the fresh snow." Ho daddy!
