Carey will direct and co-star in "Mariah Carey's Christmas Project," the network announced Wednesday. Production will begin in the fall. The scripted film is slated to air in December as part of its annual "Countdown to Christmas" programming.

The announcement comes at a busy time for the singer. Next week, she'll receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She recently launched a residency in Las Vegas where she performs her No. 1 hits, including "Vision of Love," "Hero" and "We Belong Together."
