With the iconic melody of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” ringing in the background, the screen bursts into color, signaling the start of the seasonal celebrations.
Carey’s annual declaration not only signals the commencement of her holiday festivities but also announces her 21-date holiday tour, which begins on November 6 in Highland, California. Marking her fifth year of posting these whimsical announcements, Carey shared that the catchy phrase “it’s time” emerged organically from fans’ queries about when to begin holiday preparations.

This announcement not only brings joy to her fans but also reminds everyone that the holiday spirit is just around the corner.
