Mariah Carey refuses to let the holiday clock strike zero. A new viral clip captures the singer literally blocking her tree’s takedown, while a family photo spotlights her festive traditions-and record-breaking streaming numbers.
Viral Rebellion
Carey, 56, shared a Jan. 3 X video captioned “When they say ‘Christmas is over'”. In the footage two friends reach for an ornament; Carey intercepts, yelling “no!” repeatedly while the soundtrack flips to In Your Feelings.
The moment lasted seconds, but fan reactions keep replaying it.
Family Festive Traditions
On Dec. 26 the star posted an Instagram family shot from Aspen:
- Roc & Roe, 14, wore matching red sweaters featuring Carey’s face and the title of her 1994 hit
- The snapshot celebrated the track passing 2 billion Spotify streams this December
- Carey chose a figure-hugging red dress for the snowy backdrop
The singer told Extra in 2021 that an Aspen sleigh ride-minus Santa-tops her custom list.
Kitchen & Cold-Weather Joy
Christmas Eve finds Carey cooking her late father’s recipes. Come Christmas Day, the household sits down to a traditional dinner.
> “I’m not gonna lie, people help, but I’ll get in there and do the mashed potatoes,” she admitted.
Post-meal, she heads for the outdoor hot tub. “Boiling” water against mountain air, she explained, feels “incredible.”
Key Takeaways

- The singer mixes family time in Aspen with cooking duties rooted in her father’s legacy
The calendar may read January, but Mariah Carey keeps the yuletide spirit-and the internet-laughing on repeat.
