Mariah is not only the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, the honorary title is also bestowed upon her by the masses. That's one reason why everyone is going wild over her Instagram post today. If it doesn't get you ready for the holiday transition, I'm not sure what will.

You see her dressed as a witch, however, instead of riding a broom, she is on her Peloton. Then the days of the calendar go flying by her in the wind. What happens when the calendar reaches October 31?

When November 1st hits, all Christmas breaks loose. Her iconic rendition of “All I Want For Christmas Is You” begins to play and Mariah's holiday transformation is complete. Over the years, she has been known to come up with creative posts and videos saying farewell to Halloween and hello to the Christmas holiday season. One year she smashed pumpkins with a candy cane painted baseball bat, while dressed in a red sequined gown.

How did Mariah become the Queen of Christmas

It all began in 1994 with her album “Merry Christmas.” Since being released, the recording has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. It includes the song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" which has become a the season's modern day anthem.

The Queen of Christmas is about to embark on a mini-tour called "Merry Christmas To All." Dates planned so far are in New York and Toronto.

If Mariah Carey is ready for Christmas, it must be time get out the stockings.
