Mariah Carey: Christmas season started | STERN.de

As soon as Halloween was over, Mariah Carey (55) started the Christmas season with her traditional opening clip. On November 1st, just after midnight, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Christmas” shared her . As usual, she titled it “It’s Time”.

This year, the singer transformed into Morticia Addams from The Addams Family. At the beginning of the one-minute video, the house from the cartoon can be seen; Inside, Carey performs a tango on the dance floor with a dance partner dressed as Gomez Addams. But she doesn’t seem to enjoy it for long, because she throws a dagger in his face and finally opens a wardrobe.

Inside, a red Santa suit hangs – the first color in the video, which has so far been black and white – the clock is ticking, and Carey, sitting on a sleigh, sings her iconic line “It’s Time.” Then their Christmas classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” starts playing, the spooky house turns into a winter wonderland and the tango dancer becomes a snowman.

Mariah Carey’s Christmas music continues to enjoy enormous popularity. With “All I Want For Christmas Is You” she tops the charts for weeks every year and holds numerous records. The song is also an annual marketing opportunity and source of income for the music diva, who promotes her Christmas music heavily on social media and hosts Christmas concerts.

With success: the enthusiastic comments about the opening video are piling up in the comments. “I’ve been waiting for this moment all year,” “It just keeps getting better,” and “It’ll never get old seeing this every year,” it says.
