Keeping up her annual Nov.1 tradition, the singer, 54, kicked off the countdown to Christmas and declared, “It’s…… TIME!!!” as she shared avideo of herself being defrostedfor the festive season.
In the video, the date and time can be seen changing from ‘October 31 11:59’ to ‘November 1 12:00’ as a vault door swings open to reveal Carey frozen in a block of ice wearing a Mrs. Claus-style jumpsuit.
Four people wearing Halloween costumes, including a pumpkin head and a mask from the movieScream, then start melting the ice with hairdryers before Carey belts out, “It’s time!” in a high-pitched voice.
“It’s…… TIME!!! 🎃🧊🎄 #MariahSZN,” Carey, who is nicknamed the “Queen of Christmas,” captioned the Instagram video.
“IT’S TIME!!! 🎄☃️ #MariahSZN,” she wrote alongside the video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
