It’s Officially Mariah Carey Season—Defrost Complete!
Share with friends:
The clocks strike midnight on November 1, and somewhere deep in the pop universe, a faint jingle echoes: “It’s tiiiiime!” Yes, the queen of Christmas herself, Mariah Carey, has once again emerged from her glittering cave of hibernation. The pumpkins barely had time to cool before she swooped in, hair blowing, vocals soaring, ready to reclaim the airwaves and every mall speaker on Earth.
Every year, like clockwork, the internet celebrates the unofficial start of the holiday season with Mariah’s dramatic thaw. Her 1994 classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has evolved beyond a song—it’s now a cultural phenomenon, a signal that festive chaos has officially begun. Somewhere right now, a barista is humming it under their breath, a parent is side-eyeing their electricity bill because of fairy lights, and Mariah is probably sipping something sparkly, watching the streams roll in.
It doesn’t matter if you’re ready or not; the season belongs to her. Resistance is futile. You can try to mute her, but she’ll find you—in a TikTok, an ad, or that one overly cheerful friend who starts singing it in November. By December, you’ll be humming along too, because deep down, you know she’s won.
Mariah Carey doesn’t just bring Christmas; she is Christmas. And as of today, the reign has officially begun.
