Mariah Carey has continued her annual November 1 tradition, announcing the kick off of the holiday season in spectacular style.
In an enchanting Instagram video, Carey, who is 54 years old, found herself trapped inside a time vault. At the precise moment of midnight on Wednesday, November 1, the vault opened to unveil her encased within a solid block of ice.
Four individuals clad in Halloween attire began to thaw the ice utilizing hairdryers, until finally, the beloved "Queen of Christmas" emerged donning a vibrant red Christmas jumpsuit. With her signature high-pitched voice, she joyfully exclaimed, "It's time!" and proceeded to sing.
As the familiar tune of her timeless hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You" filled the air, she joyfully played in the gently falling snow. Her 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, joined in on the festive celebration, adorning themselves with twinkling holiday lights.
During the previous year, Carey welcomed the holiday season in a delightful manner. She delighted her fans by sharing a video in which she magically transformed from a cackling witch riding an exercise bike to a charming figure dressed in a Santa suit, riding a reindeer.

Just three days later, Kris Jenner expressed her anticipation for the renowned five-time Grammy winner's official declaration of the holiday season.
The Kardashians, aged 67, shared a selfie on Instagram of a dinner with my girl @mariahcarey. They were catching up and trying to convince her that "it's time"! In 1994, Carey achieved great success with her Merry Christmas album, which went eight-times platinum and featured the hit song "All I Want For Christmas is You."
Starting from November 15, she kicks off her yearly tour of holiday concerts titled Merry Christmas One And All! in Highland, California. Carey will dazzle the audience with a total of 16 shows, concluding the tour on December 17 in New York City.
In the previous year, the talented singer of "We Belong Together" shared her love for celebrating the holiday season.
"I simply adore Christmas," she expressed during her appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in December 2022. "Having had a challenging childhood, I always yearned for a flawless Christmas, although it never quite materialized. However, now that I can provide for myself, my loved ones, and especially my young children... our Christmas celebrations have become the epitome of festivity."
In April 2008, Carey tied the knot with Nick Cannon, and they welcomed twins into their lives in 2011. Nonetheless, Cannon initiated divorce proceedings on December 12, 2014, which were ultimately finalized in 2016.

In a separate interview, Carey said that her children also look forward to Christmas.
"They also enjoy it. And they particularly enjoy other occasions throughout the year when I strive to create enjoyable experiences," she shared with Gayle King on CBS Mornings in November 2022. "It's about me fulfilling their desires for the activities that I was longing to engage in as a child. Therefore, I simply want them to understand the uniqueness of these experiences."
