It’s time!

The Queen of Christmas, , officially declared the beginning of the holiday season via Instagram on Friday, November 1.

The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” singer shared a video of her dressed as Morticia Addams from The Addams Family for Halloween, dancing with an actor dressed as Gomez Addams. However, as the clock turned midnight, Carey shunned Gomez and opened her closet to reveal a bright red Santa outfit.

“It’s time!” she declared as her iconic festive hit played and the black-and-white scene transformed into a snowy winter wonderland. Carey’s costar even turned into a snowman.

“IT’S TIME!!!! ⏱️🎉🎄,” Carey, 55, captioned the video.

Carey announced in October that she is re-releasing “All I Want for Christmas Is You” this year to mark the 30th anniversary of her holiday album, Merry Christmas.

“While it is definitely not time to listen to Christmas music yet ‼️ I wanted to share a glimpse of #MerryChristmas30 🎄with you,” she captioned an Instagram post showing off the cover art for the re-release on October 9. “An homage to the original album cover, here is the cover art for two of the four new “All I Want For Christmas Is You” physical singles… available for pre-order now!”

While fans around the world love listening to “All I Want for Christmas Is You” every holiday season, at least two people are tired of it: Carey’s twins, Moroccan and Monroe, 13.

The singer shared a video via Instagram of her kids poking fun at her hit song last Christmas Eve.

In the clip, Monroe and Moroccan asked whether they need to be with Carey “every single time” she performs the classic holiday tune.

“It’s just being festive. It’s not every … ,” Carey replied before breaking out into song, which caused her kids to walk out of the frame.

Carey has previously discussed what her kids know about her career as her music remains a seasonal staple.

I was just here, here I am. And I’m not even a real person. I’m just an animated character.”
