The widely-known party official-unofficial Queen of Christmas graced Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade debut with family.
Pop superstar Mariah Carey appeared on the yearly NBC broadcast for a song number. She sang her famous holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas is You” at the end of the event. Furthermore, it happened ahead of Santa Claus’ sleigh arriving at 34th Street in Manhattan.
The singer wore what seemed to be an embezzled umbrella, a crystalized crown, and a pink gown. Carey performed her signature song with dancers dressing as toy soldiers surrounding her.
During the song number, two gift boxes edging her opened to show her 11-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe. And the two danced with her for the rest of the song.
At the end of the performance, NBC showed a humorously short clip of Santa taking up the rear. And if it’s still not an indication of her royalty of the holiday season, we don’t know what is.
While Carey is pop culture’s premier patron of Yuletide happiness, the US Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in recent times decided that the singer can’t possess ownership of the official “Queen of Christmas” name.
Previously, EW reported Elizabeth Chan, a Christmas recording artist, legally contested Carey’s trial to trademark the title on top of her move to trademark “Princess Christmas” and “QOC.”
Carey is expected to appear on the CBS TV special Merry Christmas to All on December 20.

The Carey Twins
Monroe and Moroccan are Carey’s kids with ex-husband Nick Cannon.
Even with their divorce, the two support each other and their children. They affectionately call the twins “dem kids.”
“They’re a lot, but they give me so much love in return. I wouldn’t be the same person without them,” Carey said in an interview with PEOPLE. “I think Nick and I have done pretty well in co-parenting, staying friends with each other so that we can talk.”
Both also said they are training their kids to be humble.
“I want my kids to understand that every child isn’t as fortunate as they are,” Cannon shared with PEOPLE in 2012.
Furthermore, in 2019, Carey said a thing along the same lines. “It’s hard, but I try to keep them grounded, so they don’t think everything is just handed to them.”
However, having well-known parents has its advantages. Monroe and Moroccan previously waled on red carpets, went on yacht vacations, and even appeared in a music video.
During all those, the twins remained tight-knitted to each other.
“They love each other and are best friends. But they’ll do things without each other,” Carey said in 2018. “I just hope they maintain that for the rest of their lives. There’s nothing like the bond that they share.”
And the siblings are visibly having fun. In an Instagram post in September 2022, Carey shared photos of herself, along with Moroccan and Monroe posing before roller coasters at the Ohio amusement park Cedar Point.
“Had the best time at @cedarpoint!” Carey captioned the photo. “Never again with the heels though! 😂”
