Mariah Carey kicks off the Christmas season with her iconic 'It's Time!' video, stunning fans as Morticia Addams! 🎄👻

Mariah Carey, the beloved powerhouse vocalist and self-declared "Queen of Christmas", is back to usher in the most festive time of the year – and she’s doing it with a delightful Halloween twist! Each year, as the clocks strike midnight on November 1st, Mariah declares, "It's time!" signaling the start of the Christmas season for her legions of fans. This year’s celebration was particularly special as she dressed up as Morticia Addams, embodying the spooky yet glamorous vibe of Halloween while seamlessly transitioning into her holiday cheer persona.

In an enchanting new clip, which dropped just after the witching hour, Mariah merges her Christmas joy with Halloween spookiness—the perfect recipe for her die-hard fans who just can’t wait to rip open the wrapping paper on Christmas carols. Last year, during this holiday tradition, Mariah playfully addressed her role as the "Queen of Christmas" with a hint of irony, but she always ensures that she remains at the forefront of festive celebrations. The unparalleled success of her iconic song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continues to dominate charts week after week, ensuring that Mariah’s reign over the holiday season is anything but temporary.

But that’s not all! In addition to her grand holiday kick-off, Mariah's album sales have soared impressively. Earlier this year, she re-released her classic album "Rainbow", and it saw a staggering increase of nearly 12,000% in sales! That kind of boost is akin to finding extra presents under the tree—pure holiday magic! To top it off, fans can groove to her music live as she prepares for an array of star-studded holiday concerts alongside fellow artists like Kenny G and Sarah Brightman in Palm Springs.

As if that isn’t enough, Virgin Hotels have rolled out a series of pop-up bars themed around Mariah’s Black Irish holiday line in cities like Chicago, New York, New Orleans, Nashville, and Dallas. Picture this: enjoying festive cocktails while surrounded by all things Mariah. Isn’t that the perfect excuse to raise a glass and celebrate? So whether you’re ready to jumpstart the tinsel-decked festivities with a dose of Halloween glee or indulge in some Mariah-inspired merriment, she continues to prove that Christmas truly comes early for the serenading superstar!

Did you know that Mariah's 1994 album "Merry Christmas" only featured three original songs, including the now-legendary "All I Want for Christmas Is You"? This chart-topping hit has become such a staple that it's difficult to imagine a holiday season without its iconic chorus playing in the background. Moreover, her legacy continues to grow as she actively engages with her fans on social media, reminding everyone that every day can feel like Christmas with a little sprinkle of Mariah magic!
