While Carey couldn't be officially called the "Queen of Christmas" because of trademark and licensing issues, she's unofficially the modern Queen of Christmas for many!
To celebrate the Holidays, Carey brought out her children in a hilarious bit. The kids, Monroe and Moroccan, complained about why their mother had to sing the same song over and over again, and why they had to be with her every time she sang the song.
"It's just being festive... It's not every - ," Carey said, before breaking out on the song. Her kids immediately stormed off the camera to let her shine on her own.

Even people who aren't necessarily my fans, they're just like, 'Whatever, we like that song.' It's a huge honor and I'm thankful for all of it. The billion streams, the diamond award, all of it."
