We can count on Mariah Carey to get us in the holiday spirit all year long. Less than 24 hours after Halloween, the star posted a quickly viral video on Instagram in which she sings that “it’s time” to prepare for Christmas.
The video, which has already amassed over 13 million views and 24,000 comments so far, is sure to make you smile. The first time the door to a frozen safe opens, the date and time changes from “31. October, 11:59 a.m.” on “1. November, 12:00 p.m.
Inside, Mariah Carey is stuck in a large block of ice. The 54-year-old is defrosted by Halloween characters using hairdryers until she can sing “It’s time” at the top of her voice by shattering the pile of ice.
Dressed in a skin-tight Santa onesie, the diva is joined by her 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, as well as extras, who laugh and dance with her to her number “All I Want for Christmas Is You” as the snow falls.
The best-selling Christmas song
This Mariah Carey classic is the best-selling Christmas song of all time. In 2019, it reached No. 1 on its 25th anniversary, while last year it reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 100 Christmas Songs list.
The Queen of Pop launched the hashtag #MariahSZN last year with a video in which she transforms from a giggly witch on an exercise bike into a festive Santa-suited Mariah on a reindeer.
A few days before this post, Kris Jenner let her Instagram followers know that she was trying to “convince” her friend Mariah Carey that it was “time” for her annual Christmas comeback.
That’s done.
