Mariah Carey Declares ‘It’s Time’ for Christmas 2026 With Holiday Campaign — and Another Grunge Album Tease

The Queen of Christmas has spoken!

It’s time! Mariah Carey has declared that the holiday season is upon us with her annual PSA, this year teaming up with a major fashion house for a festive campaign while also teasing the long-awaited release of her shelved grunge album (again).

For several years, the Queen of Christmas has heralded the beginning of the holidays with a video of herself singing in her signature whistle tones, “It’s time!” She kept with that tradition this year, sharing a cinematic sequence on Sunday (Nov. 1) of the calendar changing months. When it shifts to November, she appears in a bedazzled Santa-inspired jumpsuit and beams at the camera as the iconic opening bars of her evergreen smash “All I Want for Christmas Is You” twinkle in the background.
