Mariah Carey says it’s time to get into the holiday spirit…

The 54-year-old half-Afro-Venezuelan Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, has officially declared the start of the holiday season, and she’s celebrating with some new merchandise.

Mariah CareyCarey took to social media on this week to share a photo of her 12-year-old twins, daughter Monroe and son Moroccan, whom she affectionately calls “dem babies,” posing in Carey’s new t-shirt.

At the stroke of midnight on November 1, Carey bid farewell to the Halloween season and hello to the holidays with an annual seasonal kick-off video. The singer posted an elaborate 35-second video of a frozen vault with a red countdown clock above it that reads “November 1 12:00.” The vault opens to reveal a number of Carey’s assistants dressed in in a variety of scary masks using hair dryers to help Carey defrost from the block of ice.

Carey ultimately cracks open the ice by belting out “It’s time!” in her signature whistle note and emerges from the frost in a red and white Santa-style costume.

Monroe and Moroccan also joined in on the video’s festivities and dance around with their mother as Carey’s iconic holiday hit, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” officially blasts out for the first time this season.

Carey is slated to hit the road for her 13-date Merry Christmas One and All! tour on Nov. 15 in Highland, CA and ride her sleigh across North American until a December 17 gig at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Mariah Carey Appears Alongside Her Twins in new The Children’s Place Holiday Campaign

Mariah Carey is helping children get into the holiday spirit… And she’s getting an assist for her own kids.

The 54-year-old half-Venezuelan American actress, the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, has teamed up with The Children’s Place to help the public get excited about the upcoming holidays.

Mariah Carey, Children's PlaceCarey and her twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, star in the final installment of the brand’s three-part holiday campaign, released on Tuesday, October 17.

Carey poses alongside her adorable twins outfitted in looks from The Children’s Place’s new holiday collection. And it’s the first time that Carey and her children have appeared together in a joint campaign.

“The holidays are all about family – spending time with each other and making memories that will last a lifetime. Holiday traditions are big for us at the Carey house. There is nothing sweeter than baking Christmas cookies and cuddling around the fireplace and matching in The Children’s Place pajamas together!” Carey said in a statement.

“I’ve always been a fan of The Children’s Place … they are a household name and dominate the children’s apparel space. Also, as someone who absolutely loves the holidays, and specifically, Christmas, I’ve been watching what The Children’s Place has been doing for the last few years and they have my stamp of approval for the place to shop for all matching family Christmas pajamas and outfits!”

The Children’s Place campaign also includes a visual element: “An Iconic Holiday: Part 3” — a commercial soundtracked by Carey’s holiday anthem “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” In the video, Carey and her kids wear Mama Claus and Santa’s Helper graphic tees while decorating a Christmas tree, and “We Are Family” matching family pajamas while baking Christmas cookies.

The Children’s Place’s new campaign also showcases Carey in a custom red velour, strapless A-line dress that inspired “The Dress by Mariah Carey” — a limited-edition gown designed by the music icon herself. The dress retails for $149.99 exclusively at childrensplace.com.

Carey’s dress comes complete with a plaid, oversized bow in the back that matches The Children’s Place’s signature family holiday plaid collection worn by Moroccan and Monroe.

The Children’s Place’s three-part holiday campaign pays homage to millennial nostalgia with former boy band members AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC’s Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men and Snoop Dogg.

Carey, meanwhile, is gearing up to return to the stage for the holidays — her busiest and favorite time of the year.

The music icon, who released a holiday book titled The Christmas Spirit: The Adventures of Little Mariah last year, recently announced Merry Christmas One And All!, a round of holiday shows launching on November 15 in Highland, California.

The singer will make stops in Montreal, Chicago, New York and other cities including two nights in Los Angeles. Carey added a second date to her stop at the Hollywood Bowl and will now perform on November 17 and November 19.
