Silence, all. The Queen of Christmas has spoken!
Mariah Carey celebrated the beginning of the Christmas season by smashing up pumpkins after showing off her incredible Halloween decorations.
In a clip shared on the singer's Instagram at midnight on November 1, the 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' hitmaker’s front step was shown covered in autumnal Halloween decorations, including three pumpkins that read: "It's not time."
The clock is then heard striking midnight, after which the mom-of-two appears in a red sequinned dress and glittery heels.
As an alarm goes off, the 52-year-old whacks the pumpkins to pieces with a candy-striped stick, as the opening notes of 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' begin to play.
The clip appeared to get fans in the spirit of the holiday season, with one follower saying: "It's officially Christmas."
"It's time!!! To smash that pumpkin and treat it as pie… cause we still gotta get through Thanksgiving!!!" she wrote alongside the clip shared on social media.
The exciting video also teased some form of an announcement from Mariah, as a card read: "11/5."
Fans asked what the singer was planning for November 5, with the star teasing subtly: "Come back tomorrow, same time and I'll tell you."
Mariah dropped the iconic Christmas song back in 1994, and since then it has become a festive standard and one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Despite its success, it never actually hit number one in the US or the UK, but finally reached the top spot in the States in 2019, 25 years after its release.
It made it to number one in the UK last year, having been kept off the top spot 26 years earlier by East 17’s Stay Another Day.
It reached the top spot following a closely fought battle with fellow festive anthem Last Christmas by Wham!.
In 2019, Carey also posted a light-hearted video celebrating the end of Halloween and the imminent arrival of the festive season.
The clip showed the star waking up in bed wearing red Christmas-themed pajamas while receiving a phone call from Father Christmas.
