Mariah Carey finds her snowman in ‘iconic’ sensual Christmas announcement

It’s November 1 which means Mariah Carey has awoken from her slumber to announce ‘it’s time’ for the Christmas countdown.

We’ve barely begun taking down our Halloween decorations before the All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker, 55, heralded the start of the festive period with her annual Yuletide video.

And it’s an extra special Christmas for Mariah as her number one festive single celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Posted at one minute past midnight today, the queen of Christmas channelled her inner Morticia Addams in the extravagant video shared on her social media pages.

Complete with an elegant, flowing black gown and the raven locks to match, Mariah danced around a gothic mansion with her own Gomez Addams.

However, the songstress pulled the plug on the spooky shenanigans – or the lever, to be exact – transforming the creepy setting into a winter wonderland.

Her Tango partner wasn’t exempt from being Christmas-ified, with Gomez transforming into a happy snowman a la Hot Frosty – but in reverse.

Fans have been ‘gagged’ by the video, which they dubbed ‘iconic’ on social media.

‘The way these get better every year 😭,’ Justicexlambiiy wrote on X, adding: ‘Mariah Carey as Morticia Addams is everything 😍.’

Americanrequiem proclaimed: ‘The queen of Christmas is back’ while others commented on how ‘incredible’ Mariah looked as Morticia.

Others celebrated it finally being ‘Mariah season’ and praised how she embraces the Christmas period each and every year.

It comes after the We Belong Together singer teased plans to release a secret 90s album.

While appearing on the Las Culturistas podcast with host Matt Rogers, the Always Be My Baby singer teased that she could be preparing to release a secret album she recorded in the 1990s. 

Mariah rose to fame in 1990 with the release of her self-titled album and has since remained mostly associated with R&B, pop, hip hop, and soul. 

But, in 1995, she explored a new type of sound and recorded an entire grunge album which was never released and has since become buried. 

‘I got kind of in trouble for making this album – the alternative album – because back then, everything was super-controlled by the powers that be,’ she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.

‘I never really was like, “Oh, we’re going to release it.” But then I was like, I should release it. I should do it under an alias. Let people discover it and whatever, but that got squashed.’
