Mariah Carey’s Kids Joke About Being Sick of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ (and She’s Back in the Iconic Red Suit)

All Mariah Carey’s kids want for Christmas is for mom to sing them a different song!

On Christmas Eve, the pop icon, 54, shared multiple posts on Instagram celebrating the holiday with her twins Monroe and Moroccan, 12.

One post included the twins joking about how sick they were of hearing their mother’s classic Christmas carol, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

In Carey’s post, the singer is seen lounging in front of the family’s Christmas tree as the twins stand behind her. In the Instagram video, Monroe and Moroccan start asking their mom if they have to be with her “every time” she sings the jingle.

“I had to do it,” Carey joked in the Instagram caption. “Merry Christmas Eve!! 🎄❤️🎄❤️”, concluded the Queen of Christmas.
