Mariah Carey
Courtesy of McDonaldsMariah Carey is best known as the Christmas Queen. The singer who has ruled the holiday season for decades with her No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 perennial heart-warmer “All I Want For Christmas is You,” mixed things up on Sunday night (Nov. 28) by teaching her 10-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, one of her favorite Hanukkah songs.
On the first night of the Festival of Lights, Carey sat the kids down for a lesson about the Jewish celebration, and, of course, a little song to help along. “Happy Hanukkah!!!! Learned this one in grade school, thought I’d teach it to Roc & Roe, I don’t think they’ve got it yet,” she tweeted alongside Menorah and heart emoji.
“Hanukkah is coming, Hanukkah is coming, that’s a time we have the happiest days,” Carey sang as the kids looked on. And while Mariah was happy to spread the holiday cheer, now that Thanksgiving has passed we are firmly into the Carey Christmas zone, with her upcoming AppleTV+ special, Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues, slated to premiere on Friday (Dec. 3).
The special will feature the first and only live performance of Carey’s new Christmas tune, “Fall in Love at Christmas,” featuring Kirk Franklin and Khalid. Mariah is a bit excited about that as well, especially after the big man himself endorsed the very special episode. “The elves are in the North Pole cinema, watching Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special… have you seen it? It’s fabulously festive!” tweeted the @OfficialSanta account on Sunday afternoon.
Mariah, as y0u might imagine, was very excited to hear from Jolly Old. “As are you, my dear friend,” she responded. “See you soon!!!!”

Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.
During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.
"I think it's made me marvel at our humanness. It's so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it's brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."
The Daisy Jones & The Six actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.
"I'm almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can't believe everybody does this and I can't believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."
Suki continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."
The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the more surprising.
"It's so f**king weird! I'm not a cryer! I'm so not an emotional person, I'm such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I'm just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I'm so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."
Suki and Twilight actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.
The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.
