Earlier this week, Careydeclared it the start of the Christmas seasonafter Halloween on Monday with avideoshe shared on social media.
In the clip, Carey — suited up in red from head to toe — stands before three jack-o'-lanterns that read “It’s not time,” as she waits for the clock to strike midnight. Once it does, she takes a candy cane baseball bat to the middle jack-o'-lantern.
Once the center jack-o'-lantern is annihilated, Carey laughs as her iconic “All I Want for Christmas is You” jingle begins to play in the background and a voice-over says “It’s time.”
The “Fantasy” songstress then appears in the middle of a Christmas-decorated living room and is dressed in a Santa Clause-inspired jumpsuit — as she proceeds to throw rice into the air and lets out a scream in celebration.

Last year, Carey opened up about whyChristmas is such an important time for herin an interview forElle’s special digital holiday edition.
In the interview, Carey said the holiday season is “maybe the one time I got to breathe for a second.”
“After I kind of emerged from my first relationship-slash-marriage [toTommy Mottola] I created the Christmases that I wanted to have,” she told the magazine, adding ofher troubled childhood, “A lot of very bad stuff happened to me when I was 12. But also, there is the spirit of that kid, that fighter who doesn’t give up, who does embrace who she is, even though the world didn’t understand that from my point of view.”
