Mariah Carey delights fans as she channels Morticia Addams to usher in Christmas season

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a beloved annual tradition, Mariah Carey has officially signaled the start of the Christmas festivities with a viral video, which garnered over 2.2 million views within hours.

The clip showcases a playful transition from Halloween to Christmas, underscoring her status as the "Queen of Christmas."

Mariah Carey channels Morticia Addams for her annual 'It's Time' video

Every year, the 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' hitmaker releases a video on November 1 to usher in the festive season, and this year, she partnered with Kay Jewelers for a special presentation.

In the video, Carey, dressed as Morticia Addams, is seen dancing around a grand mansion alongside an actor portraying Gomez Addams.

As she sang in her trademark whistle-tone, "It's time," the scene transformed into a snowy Christmas wonderland, complete with reindeer and animated snowmen dancing to her classic tune. The actor in the Gomez costume hilariously turned into an animated snowman and began bopping along to the music.

Mariah Carey's iconic holiday anthem continues to thrive

This year is particularly special as 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' celebrates its 30th anniversary. The song reportedly earns the 55-year-old $2.5 million in royalties each year, contributing to the staggering $60 million she has earned since it first hit the airwaves in 1994.

In 2021, the song reached a significant milestone, becoming the first holiday single to receive the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) Diamond Award for accumulating 10 million sales and streams in the US.

Reflecting on the song's enduring popularity, Carey expressed, "It never ceases to amaze [me] and fill [my] heart with a multitude of emotions. It blows my mind that 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' has endured different eras of the music industry."
