Mariah Carey's children say they’re 'sick' of hearing their mom's song All I Want For Christmas

The certified Queen of Christmas might be beloved by fans worldwide, but her kids are getting tired of her iconic track

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is a staple of the festive season, with many fans just waiting for the calendar to turn over to December 1 so they can hit play on the iconic track.

But apparently, Carey's own kids are not part of that group.

The singer revealed her children's thoughts on the song in an Instagram video she shared last year, in which she was seen wearing her in her staple Santa-esque red jumpsuit with a white fur trim.

Carey had positioned herself on the floor in front of a glowing Christmas tree, while her twins, Monroe and Moroccan, stood alongside her looking less than impressed and dressed in decidedly un-festive black clothing.

"Mom, please, we don't want to do this every time!" they said, but their mom refused to let them back down.

"It's just being festive!" Carey replied, adding: "It's not every-"

At that moment, Carey cut herself off to break into the tune we all now know off by heart, singing: "I don't want a lot for Christmas."

Those few words were all it took to completely break the kids, who stormed off camera as they clearly didn't want to hear another note of their mom's famous song.

The video received more than a million likes from Carey's followers, but she assured it was all a skit she'd come up with in the spirit of Christmas.

Alongside the video, she wrote: “Had to do it. Merry Christmas Eve!!"

Though Carey's kids jokingly pretended to be completely sick of the song, it's clear that 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' remains one of the best-love songs of the festive season.

On December 16, the track secured its 16th total week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and it's also tied for the third-longest total domination in the chart’s 66-year history, coming only after Shaboozey’s 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' and Lil Nas X’s 'Old Town Road'.

'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is also one of the Hot 100’s longest-leading No. 1s by a woman artist - no small feat, considering the track celebrated its 30th anniversary this year.

In 2019, Carey described the song to Variety as 'one of [her] greatest achievements'.

“It was done very quickly and kind of came out organically, which the best songs do,” she also revealed while speaking about the track in her Amazon Music documentary, Mariah Carey is Christmas: The Story of ‘All I Want for Christmas is You'.
