Even as holiday decorations get packed away, global superstar Mariah Carey is making it clear she's not ready to say goodbye to the season.
On January 3, Carey shared a now-viral social media video capturing her comically dramatic reaction to her Christmas tree being dismantled. In the reel - set to her 2025 single "In Your Feelings" - Carey watches in mock horror as friends attempt to remove ornaments, theatrically proclaiming "no!" and throwing shade at the idea that Christmas could ever truly be over.

The playful protest perfectly captures post-holiday heartbreak - and serves as a reminder that, in Carey's world, the Christmas season never really ends.
This year's festivities were nothing short of monumental for Carey. Her perennial classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continued its record-breaking reign on the Billboard Hot 100, extending its historic run at No. 1 and marking the 100th career week the song has spent atop the chart - further cementing Carey's place in music history.
Beyond streaming and chart milestones, Carey's holiday legacy was celebrated onstage in Las Vegas, where her holiday residency once again became a fan-beloved tradition. Even stars like Rihanna hailed the shows as a cherished annual experience - proof that the holiday season's soundtrack has an undisputed queen.
