Mariah Carey, the so-called “queen of Christmas,” has announced that it’s time to start listening to Christmas music.

  • Specifically, it’s time to listen to her Christmas classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Is it time to listen to ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ yet?

In a new video posted to social media, Carey walks out of a door holding a candy cane bat as a clock rings out. She takes the bat and smashes some pumpkins, which were carved to read, “It’s Not Time.”

  • Then, her 1994 Christmas classic begins to play.
  • “It’s time,” she says.
  • And then, Carey is seen holding a present that has “11/5” written on it — a tease for potential new music that could drop on Friday.
