Santa Claus is getting ready, but Mariah too!

Not only Santa is preparing for Christmas, but so is Mariah Carey! Just as Santa prepares his gifts, Mariah is getting ready to perform the song that has become the anthem of the holidays: 'All I Want For Christmas is You.'

A very profitable song

The famous song, released in 1994, has generated 53 million dollars according to 'The Economist.' And that's just the beginning... because every year there are covers of the song or new performances by Mariah Carey herself. As soon as Halloween is over, she exploits her great success and enjoys the thousands of memes people make about her.

Always on the prowl to start Mariah season...

On October 31, year after year, Mariah Carey takes it upon herself to scare the frighteners on Halloween night. She grabs all the limelight from them, even on the scary night itself.

Winter is here...

The colder it gets, the higher the chances that you'll hear Mariah Carey on the radio.

Cashing in

Obviously, Mariah Carey knows that 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is an inexhaustible gold mine and she is going to exploit it to the fullest. Promotions, marketing, photos, montages, videos, sketches... Whatever it takes to stretch the earnings of one of the most profitable songs in history.

Hateful (or not so much) comparisons

Some have claimed that Mike Myers with a wig looks like Mariah Carey. But they're only joking.

Defrosting

Mariah Carey's thawing process begins on October 31 and is completed by November 1. She remains at room temperature until January 1 and then she returns to ten months of hibernation.

Black and red

Mariah Carey has become a global symbol of Christmas. No one disputes it at this point.

Always on the prowl

Even if you forget that Mariah Carey is always on the lookout for November, she will make sure to remind you.

Google Trends

Checking out searches for Mariah Carey and 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is glorious. There are ten months of residual searches and then two months of extreme spikes.

You can't run from it

Thinking of hiding in a place where 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' isn't being played? There are two left: Antarctica and Everest. Still, it is not guaranteed that the Christmas carol will not arrive there too. Base camps can play the song and make it echo across the mountain.

How it all began

Every year, inevitably, the world is taken back to 1994, the year 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' was released. Mariah Carey was 24 years old and already one of the great divas of R&B and soul.

Recurring memes

Just as 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' resurfaces year after year, it seems that memes about the song are bound to return. Unless Elon Musk decides to charge for them.

The queen of the snow

During the two months of super-promotion of 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', Mariah Carey exploits her Christmas image to the extreme.

It's Christmas already?

There is a time of the year when you look at the calendar and it is March. You close your eyes, relax, and suddenly it's November and you have Mariah Carey singing. This is called life and it happens faster than Mariah Carey herself.

Merchandising

It goes without saying that Mariah Carey's Christmas merchandise is endless. Mugs, dolls, cushions, ornaments? 'All I Want For Christmas Is You...' (and money).

Oh no, not again!

Not everyone is happy with the song's dominance in November and December. You can see it in the great 'memeable' photo Jason Momoa and Henry Cavill gave us.

Funko Pop

Did anyone doubt that Mariah Carey had her Christmas Funko Pop, besides her Barbie doll?

A religion

The best thing about Mariah Carey is that, despite her insistence with 'All I Want For Christmas Is You,' she doesn't have a lot of haters. Meanwhile, her fans are so in love with her that they turned the music diva into a (metaphorical) goddess to pray to.

Have we already discussed the merchandising?

If we have to choose between a red-nosed reindeer, lights, and a Mariah Carey as options for a Christmas wool sweater, we prefer to have all three together.

Mariah Carey as Heidi

A famous meme referring to the 'Heidi' story and animated series. It's obviously a joke, but no matter what, on November 1st Mariah Carey always wins this contest against Halloween.

Have you already decorated the house?

Let's be serious. It's one thing for someone who makes millions of dollars from a song to release it every year right after Halloween. Another thing is that on November 1, some people have already decorated their houses for Christmas. It's too much!
