The party season is starting, and this is the diva saying so. As is tradition in pop, American singer Mariah Carey, self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, officially launched the end-of-year festivities in a short announcement clip this Friday, November 1st.
In a one-minute extract, we can see the famous singer dressed up for Halloween as Morticia Addams, who waltzes alongside her own Gomez Addams… Before abruptly changing atmosphere – and costume – for the arrival of November 1st .
Disguised as Mother Christmas aboard a cart full of gifts, near a snowman and a large snow-covered tree, Mariah Carey then announces that it is “the moment” (“It’s time!”), finally , to move on to the end-of-year holidays… And therefore to add, in his playlist, his famous song dedicated to the season: “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, which has almost 2 billion plays on Spotify .
Since the release of the famous title in 1994 – notably included in the cult Christmas romantic comedy “Love Actually” – Mariah Carey has become an essential figure of the end-of-year holidays. Consequence: every November 1, the performer has the habit of announcing the opening of the Christmas season on social networks, with an appropriate disguise.
This year, this celebration took on a slight political color. A few days before the release of her Christmas announcement clip, Mariah Carey published another short sketch alongside actress Kerry Washington on Instagram. In the excerpt, we see the artist begin to sing along, before being interrupted by the star of the series “Scandal”, telling her: “No, no, no it's not your season yet Mariah, It’s voting season! “. The objective? Encourage fans of the two stars to go to the polls, a few days before an American presidential election which promises to be extremely close.
