Just when you thought you were safe, Google has decided it’s time to unleash the holiday spirit upon the world. And by “holiday spirit,” we mean the inescapable force that is Mariah Carey and her omnipresent Christmas anthem.
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The leaves haven’t even finished falling, and Google is already bombarding us with festive cheer. Type “Mariah Carey” into the search bar, and behold the spectacle: a shower of animated snowflakes, a not-so-subtle reminder that “All I Want for Christmas is You” will soon be dominating the airwaves.
Mariah Carey, the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas, has built an empire on her holiday hit. Released a mere 30 years ago (a lifetime in pop music years), the song continues to rake in millions in royalties annually. And Google, ever the helpful assistant, is ensuring that those royalty checks keep flowing.
Carey, who just days ago was channeling her inner Morticia Addams for Halloween, has seamlessly transitioned into her festive persona. A new Santa-inspired video is already making the rounds, reminding us that she’s ready to cash in on the holiday season.
