Mariah Carey, the self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Christmas,’ has announced that it is officially the holiday season in a new video proclaiming, “It’s Time!”

The clip, posted on social media along with the caption ‘It’s…… TIME!!! #MariahSZN’, shows a clock counting down the seconds until midnight on Halloween. As soon as the clock strikes midnight, a vault opens to reveal Carey frozen in a block of ice. People sporting Halloween costumes start using hairdryers to melt the ice to set Carey free, and as she emerges, the singer exclaims, “It’s time!” The video ends with Carey and her children Moroccan and Monroe running into the frame to hug and dance around with their mother to her smash holiday hit song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” as snow falls.

Carey revealed earlier in October that she will be launching a small holiday-themed tour — ‘The Merry Christmas One and All Tour’ will kick off on November 15th in Highland California and will conclude on December 17th at New York’s Madison Square Garden, with two new dates in Cleveland and New York.
