What Is Mariah Carey Defrosting?
6.2BRAINROT SCOREMariah Carey Defrosting An annual joke and a real yearly video tradition marking the start of the Christmas season on November 1: singer Mariah Carey is pictured "thawing" out of ice, because her Christmas hit starts playing as soon as Halloween ends. Fans post the ice-block image with captions such as "the defrosting has begun".
Origin:Wikipedia says Carey released a video titled "It's Time" in 2019 that opens with her defrosting from ice, and that she has posted a new video each year since, around midnight Eastern Time on November 1.

In 2024 she swapped a Halloween look for a Santa-style suit and declared "It's time" (Good Morning America, November 1, 2024).
