Mariah Carey Kicks Off 2025 Holiday Season with Magical 'It's Time' Announcement

Mariah Carey has officially launched the start of the 2025 holiday season with her traditional "It's Time" announcement, featuring actor Billy Eichner as a grumpy elf. In a video shared on November 1st, the iconic pop star, adorned in angelic attire, declares that Halloween was a success but now it's time for her beloved festive season to begin. However, the festive mood is disrupted when Carey discovers her makeup has gone missing. Eichner, portraying the grumpy elf, reveals that the elves are on strike this year, announcing the cancellation of Christmas. Using her powerful voice, Carey sings "it's time" once more, causing Eichner to freeze and transform into a snowman. Now donning a Mrs. Claus ensemble, the 56-year-old singer joyfully rides a sleigh through the streets of New York City while her classic hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You" fills the air.
