As soon as Halloween wraps up, the world knows it’s time for Mariah Carey to shine. The iconic singer, who has been enchanting us with her festive tunes for over 25 years, humorously acknowledged her holiday royalty in a recent video shared on November 1. Yes, just a day after Halloween marks the start of her reign!
In her cleverly staged clip, Mariah starts off in bed, still in her Halloween costume and sporting a full face of makeup, dramatically yawning as her iPhone shows it’s 11:59 PM on October 31. Once the clock strikes midnight, the familiar opening notes of her classic holiday song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” fill the air. Suddenly, she transforms into Christmas pajamas, appearing fresh and vibrant (seriously, where did her makeup go?). She answers a phone call from Santa, and with a playful tone, she responds, “Santa?” to which he joyfully replies, “Ho, ho, ho.” Mariah then sings, “It’s tiiiime,” before gleefully tossing the phone aside as her Christmas anthem continues to play.
The internet couldn’t get enough of this delightful clip, with fans chiming in with their own hilarious takes. One witty commenter even joked that Mariah was attempting to “elbow out Jesus Christ as the protagonist of Christmas.” Others, like us, were left wondering how she managed to wake up looking so flawless after a night of heavy makeup.
In true holiday spirit, Mariah also treated her fans to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the video. Just how popular is “All I Want for Christmas Is You”? Reports suggest that it has netted her a staggering $60 million, while she rakes in approximately $500,000 annually in the UK alone!
Recently, Legacy Recordings unveiled the “Merry Christmas 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition,” which features the original album, a disc with previously unreleased live tracks, rare remixes, a new version of “Sugar Plum Fairy,” and even more festive tunes.
To celebrate, we’re excited to share Mariah’s entertaining video with you. Merry Christmas!
