The songstress hailed the children involved as "superstars" and encouraged them to "have the time" of their lives.
She added: "To all of the amazing kids taking part in the show, I want you to all know that you are superstars.
"So go out there and have the time of your lives - and remember, you’ve got this."
Shortly after the video, a starstruck Abiha belted out Carey's festive hit, All I Want for Christmas is You, which ended this year’s Late Late Toy Show on a high.
Released in 1994, Carey's much-loved track peaked at number six in the US. However, it has since reached the top spot in over 30 countries.
According to The New York Post, it is estimated that Carey makes around $3 million every year from the song and as of 2021 the song has earned over $60 million since its release.
She previously told Billboard that she had "no idea" the impact the song would "eventually have worldwide".
"How could I? It was so early on in my career and most young artists, at that time, weren’t really making Christmas music at the onset of their careers," she added.
