Get ready to deck the halls because the undisputed Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, has officially declared the holiday season open! But here's where it gets controversial: Is it too early to start celebrating Christmas, or is Mariah simply giving us the festive kickstart we all secretly crave? On November 1, 2025, at the stroke of midnight, the pop icon dropped her highly anticipated 'It’s Time' video, a tradition that has become the unofficial starting pistol for the holiday festivities. This year, Carey teamed up with the hilarious Billy Eichner for a fresh and funny take on her annual holiday countdown, this time in partnership with Sephora. The video kicks off with Carey, dressed as an angel, playfully declaring that Halloween 'slayed' before winking and announcing, 'But now… it's time.' And this is the part most people miss: the clever blend of humor and holiday magic that follows. When Carey discovers her vanity in chaos, she quips, 'Spill the tea, who's the thief?' Enter Eichner, dressed as an elf, holding her beauty products and delivering a laugh-out-loud monologue about elf strikes and therapy. Carey, unfazed, shuts him down with a confident 'You can't cancel Christmas,' before freezing him in place and proclaiming, 'It's time!' as the iconic opening notes of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' take over. This video isn't just a festive treat—it's a cultural moment that sparks joy and debate. Bold question for you: Does Mariah Carey's annual tradition truly mark the start of the holiday season, or is it just a brilliant marketing move?
