Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey smashes a pumpkin and declares 'It's time!' in new video

By Andrea Tuccillo

Halloween is officially over and you know what that means: Mariah Carey is giving us all permission to start celebrating Christmas.

In a video posted to social media Monday, we see three pumpkins spelling out "It’s not time."

Carey, wearing a red sparkly dress armed with a candy cane-striped baseball bat, then takes the bat and smashes the "not" pumpkin right as the clock strikes midnight on Nov. 1.

Her holiday classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" also starts to play to mark the beginning of the Christmas season.

"It’s time!" she says, as the video cuts to her decked out in full-on Christmas mode.

Singer Mariah Carey appears in a Christmas-themed video posted to her Instagram account on Nov. 1, 2021, with the text, "It's Time!!!!"

We also see a flash of a present with "11/5" on it -- a hint of something being released on that date, perhaps?

The clip ends with the message, "It’s time!!! To smash that pumpkin and treat it as pie...cause we still gotta get through Thanksgiving!!!"
