MANILA, Philippines — When Mariah Carey said she was "defrosting" for Christmas, many people did not think she was being serious.
In what has become an annual tradition to welcome the Yuletide season, Mariah has released her 2023 video, rallying in the yearend holidays.
The singer posted on her social media accounts a video of herself welcoming the Christmas season, as expected from the Queen of Christmas.
The video begins with a frozen vault opening right as the clock hits midnight on November 1, and inside are five individuals in Halloween costumes using hairdryers to thaw a block of ice containing Mariah herself dressed as Santa Claus.
Eventually, Mariah uses her iconic high-pitched voice to break the remaining ice, belting out "It's Time!"
