You either love or hate the song, but either way, get ready to hear “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” over and over and over again.
Mariah Carey kicked off the Christmas music season early Tuesday with a social media post of her dressed as a witch, then switching to her “All I Want for Christmas” outfit, declaring, “it’s time.”
She also included #MariahSZN or Mariah Season, to make it official, People magazine reported.
Carey traditionally gets an early start on the holiday season, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2021, “I know we’re early, Kevin. I’m not saying we’re not early. We’ve gotta get through Thanksgiving first and I know this, but when I made my first Christmas album and I was traveling the world, I was like, ‘Wow, they’re really into Christmas early because there’s no Thanksgiving.’”
