Mariah Carey is preparing for the festive season, but it seems she has a few obligations to address first. In a humorous social media video, Carey finds herself interrupted just as she’s about to perform her iconic hit ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’.
“That’s amazing, because it’s my season before it’s her season,” showcasing her own singing talents in the process. This light-hearted exchange highlights the importance of civic engagement, even as the holiday season approaches.

Carey, often referred to as the “Queen of Christmas,” solidified her status with the success of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’, a timeless track from her best-selling album ‘Merry Christmas’.
The competition for holiday dominance doesn’t stop there; country legend Dolly Parton has playfully acknowledged Carey’s reign, stating, “You think of Christmas, you think of Mariah. I’m happy to be second in line to her.”
Jennifer Hudson, fresh off the release of her holiday album ‘The Gift of Love’, chimed in at the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, declaring herself the “Princess of Christmas.” “I think Mariah is the Queen of Christmas, and I’m the Princess of Christmas,” Hudson noted, adding a humorous twist to the festive hierarchy.
Parton previously addressed her own title in a December interview, swiftly brushing aside the notion of competing with Carey for the queenly crown. With Carey, Washington, Hudson, and Parton all bringing their festive flair, it’s clear that this holiday season promises to be filled with fun, music, and a touch of friendly rivalry.
