Mariah Carey — The Queen of Christmas Isn’t Ready to Defrost

The undisputed Queen of Christmas is reminding fans to keep the decorations tucked away a little longer. 🧊🎶 Mariah Carey took to Instagram this week with her signature humor, posting a playful reminder that it’s too early for holiday playlists and peppermint lattes — at least until she gives the official signal.

And when Mariah talks, the world listens! Her iconic hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has become the ultimate soundtrack of the season, racking up over $72 million in royalties since its release 31 years ago and claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 every December since 2019. Not bad for a song written in just 15 minutes! 🎤💎

Carey says she loves the magic of Christmas — especially celebrating with her twins, Monroe and Moroccan — but insists there’s a time and place for the holiday spirit. “It’s not time yet,” she joked, reminding fans that the moment she officially declares “It’s time…” is when the season truly begins.

So hold off on the lights and carols for now, because once Mariah defrosts, it’s a full-on festive takeover. Until then, enjoy the calm before the Christmas storm.
