Did you feel that chill in the air on November 1st? 🥶

Did you feel that chill in the air on November 1st? 🥶 That's because the Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, officially defrosted! 👑 It's the annual internet meme we all secretly (or not-so-secretly) wait for, signaling the start of *that* season.

What began around 2017-2018 as a hilarious joke on X (formerly Twitter) about Mariah emerging from an icy slumber to declare "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has now become a global phenomenon, taking over TikTok and every holiday playlist! 🎶

And the best part? Mariah herself is in on the joke! 🎉 Since 2019, she's treated us to high-production videos every November 1st, transitioning from Halloween spooky to full-on festive. Remember her 2023 video, breaking out of a literal block of ice with hair dryers? Iconic! ✨

From "Mariah is coming" TikToks to countless memes about retail workers bracing themselves, this trend perfectly captures the joyous, sometimes overwhelming, shift into the holiday spirit. Even Google Trends sees a massive spike for "Mariah Carey defrosting" every year! 📈

So, when did *you* first hear "All I Want For Christmas Is You" this year? Let us know if you're ready for the holiday season or if Mariah defrosted a little too early for your liking! 👇
