Mariah Carey's Hilarious Holiday Kickoff: 'It's Time' for Christmas!

Mariah Carey's Hilarious Holiday Kickoff: 'It's Time' for Christmas!

Mariah Carey, known as the Queen of Christmas, is back with her festive antics, officially kicking off the holiday season. In a recent video shared on X (formerly Twitter), the iconic singer transitioned from Halloween to Christmas in her trademark humorous style.

The video featured Mariah emerging from a giant ice block with the assistance of Halloween characters while wearing a Santa Claus-inspired outfit. As she broke free from the ice, she joyfully declared, "It's time!" and started singing the first verse of her timeless holiday classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Surrounding her were people dressed in Christmas-themed attire, adding to the holiday spirit.

This isn't the first time Mariah has pulled off such a Halloween-to-Christmas transformation; she did something similar last year, transitioning from a witch to Santa in a fun video.

For Halloween this year, Mariah dressed up as Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." And, in response to the early surge in streams of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" back in September, Mariah humorously said, "Not yet!!! I'll allow it for my Filipino lambs, though! I don't make the rules!"

Mariah's holiday classic, released in 1994, continues to be a hit during the Christmas season, amassing over a billion streams on Spotify. Each year, her song generates millions of dollars in royalties, with estimated earnings of around $3 million during the holiday season.

While many artists have attempted to create Christmas classics, only a select few have succeeded, and Mariah's cheerful embrace of the season and her iconic song make her a holiday favorite. Her recent "thawing out" video signals the beginning of the Christmas season, delighting fans and spreading festive cheer.
