Remember when Jimmy Fallon teamed up with Christina Aguilera to cover her hit single Your Body with the help of his house band The Roots playing office supplies as instruments?

Well, it seems the gears in Jimmy‘s creative mind never stop turning.

For the holiday season, he again collaborated with a celebrity for a special cover performance. This time, he teamed up with Mariah Carey, and together sang her timeless Christmas tune All I Want For Christmas Is You.

The cherry on top? The Roots played along using common classroom instruments often found in kindergarten classrooms across the Western world.

The new music video already has over 125,000 views, and is further featured on NPR, WashingPost, and USWeekly.
