Celine Dion Channels Her Inner Grinch in Festive Christmas Costume by the Fireplace
Celine Dion got into the holiday spirit with a playful twist this week. The legendary singer posted a video on Instagram showing herself by a fireplace dressed in a full Grinch costume, complete with bright green makeup.
In the video, Dion begins by talk-singing the chorus of her hit “All by Myself” before launching into a humorous parody of the Grinch’s monologue from the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey.
Holding a small dog dressed like the Grinch’s dog, Max, she jokes about her busy schedule: “4:00 — exercise my voice. 4:30 — wake my children up. 5:00 — solve world hunger. Tell no one. 5:30 — jazzercise. 6:30 — dinner with me. I can’t cancel that again! 7:00 — wrestle with my creative ideas.”
Dion continues, “I’m booked! Of course, if I bumped my creative ideas to 9:00, I’ll still have time to lay in bed and scroll TikTok videos endlessly. Or I can just simply wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year… boring!” She ends the clip returning to “All by Myself”, singing “When I was young, I never needed anyone.”
“All by Myself” was originally released in 1975 by Eric Carmen and became a huge hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Dion’s 1996 cover, included on her album Falling into You, remains one of her most iconic songs in the U.S.
