The holidays may officially be over, but Mariah Carey is refusing to let go-at least judging by her latest social-media meltdown.
Festive Tantrum Caught on Camera
In a clip posted to X on Jan. 3, the 56-year-old superstar repeatedly shouts “no!” while two friends try to remove an ornament from her towering tree. Set to her own track “In Your Feelings,” the video is captioned: “When they say ‘Christmas is over.'”
Carey’s dramatic objections quickly rack up laughs-and views-proving the singer’s holiday brand is no marketing gimmick.
Matching Sweaters & Streaming Milestone
The yuletide cheer extended to her 14-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, who appeared on Instagram Dec. 26 in coordinating holiday sweaters:
- Each pullover features a photo of their mom
- Lyric “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is stitched across the front
- The post celebrates the track surpassing 2 billion Spotify streams this December
White-Christmas Wish List
Away from social media, Carey keeps the season sensory:
- She spends Christmas Eve in Aspen, Colorado, craving real snow as décor
- A “boiling” hot tub offers nightly winter refuge
- She cooks using late father’s recipes, tackling mashed potatoes herself-“people help,” she admits, “but I love it”
Traditional dinner follows on Christmas Day, all while Carey resists her own royal tag.
> “I think it’s disrespectful to be, like, ‘That’s what I am, that’s who I am,'” she told News Of Los Angeles in 2021. “I just love the holidays more than any time.”
Key Takeaways
- Carey’s genuine holiday passion fuels her enduring Christmas anthem’s success
- The singer balances superstar status with hands-on family traditions
- Even after decades, she treats the season as sacred, not scripted
For Carey, Christmas isn’t just a hit single-it’s a year-round state of mind.
