Mariah Carey has long been branded the "Queen of Christmas" thanks to her hit 1994 festive anthem, All I Want For Christmas Is You. And living up to the label, the American singer-songwriter detailed just how deep her love for the special holiday runs during an appearance on Sunrise on Thursday.
But while speaking to entertainment reporter Edwina Bartholomew, Mariah struggled to maintain eye contact with the camera. Her eyes wandered to her left as she sat in front of a Christmas backdrop for the prerecorded chat.
During the segment, Mariah discussed stocking up on Christmas decorations when COVID-19 panic buying started. "I was in the New York apartment for the first four-to-five months of Covid with the kids and our little pod," she explained.
"All of a sudden I sat there and said, 'Wait a minute - I better get Christmas decorations, because what if people get all the decorations?' Of course, I was thinking about that in March."
Mariah said she usually treats her nine-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, to Christmas festivities, Santa meetings and sledding each year, but the coronavirus pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works for the family. "I have no need to go anywhere, safety is more important," she said of trying to social distance amid the pandemic.
The blonde diva was on the breakfast show to promote her new Apple TV+ special - Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special. She said her new Christmas special was "so much fun to do" and was "such a labour of love".
The special includes performances and appearances by Tiffany Haddish, Billy Eichner, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, and Snoop Dogg.
