Mariah Carey Unveiled as a Festive Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds in NYC—Fans and the Internet are Loving It
Mariah Carey is trending across the U.S., bringing her signature festive charm to Madame Tussauds in New York City, where a brand-new, holiday-themed wax figure of the singer has been unveiled. Fans and netizens alike are celebrating how closely this figure resembles Mariah, capturing her iconic look and adding to the excitement of the upcoming holiday season.
But the unveiling of this wax figure isn’t the only reason Mariah is back in the spotlight. As she does each year, the “Queen of Christmas” made her grand holiday announcement in a video filled with creativity and wit. This year, Carey teamed up with Kay Jewelers for a Halloween-meets-Christmas reveal that’s thrilling fans everywhere. The video opens with Carey dressed as Morticia Addams, standing in a shadowy, Gothic castle as an instrumental version of her classic holiday hit, “All I Want For Christmas is You,” plays hauntingly in the background. Gomez Addams joins her for a dramatic tango around the room, which quickly takes a festive turn. Carey, holding a dagger, hurls it into a mirror, revealing a Santa Claus outfit as she smirks mischievously. Moments later, the scene transforms: Mariah appears in full Christmas attire, riding a sleigh surrounded by presents, while the song begins to play, declaring, “It’s time!”
The clip quickly went viral, captivating her followers across social media. As part of her yearly tradition, Carey’s post-Halloween announcements have become the unofficial start of the holiday season. Fans adore her clever reveal videos that creatively blend Halloween and Christmas themes, each year upping the stakes of her reign as the “Queen of Christmas.” In previous years, she’s made her festive debut in ways that have ranged from “defrosting” in an icy vault to riding a Peloton bike in a witch costume, where she cackles as the date flips to November 1st.
For many, Mariah’s announcement signals it’s time to kick off the holiday season—and her fans couldn’t be more enthusiastic. Twitter has been buzzing with reactions to the video, her Madame Tussauds wax figure, and, of course, her timeless anthem, “All I Want For Christmas is You,” which consistently returns to the top of the charts each year. This holiday classic, first released in 1994, has become the only holiday song to earn the RIAA’s Diamond Award, signifying 10 million sales and streaming units in the U.S. Reflecting on the song’s continued success, Carey has said, “It blows my mind that ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’ has endured different eras of the music industry.”
