Whether theykick off their celebrationsas soon as Halloween is over or delight us with theirfestive content on Instagram, here’s a list of stars who are vying for the top spot of Christmas Queen. We’re consideringpulling aMean Girlsand giving the title to all of them, you know, in the name of the season!

Mariah Carey

First up, naturally, is the Elusive Chanteuse herself, Mariah Carey, who has not only embracedher Queen of Christmas rolebut has taken steps to have sole rights to the title forever.. Her hit Christmas song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You"skyrockets up the charts each Christmasand has shattered records(including three Guinness World Records!).

2019 saw Careyposted a videoof her falling asleep in her Halloween costume, and then waking up to a call from Santa. “It’s time,” she sang into the phone! When the clock struck midnight on Nov. 1 this year the singershared a videodoing the same, marking the beginning of the season.

Carrie Underwood

Only a Christmas Queen would announce her very first Christmas album in the middle of the summer. That’s dedication! As if that wasn’t enough of a gift, Underwood also releasedMy Gift: A Christmas Special fromCarrie Underwoodon HBO Max. The program featured special guestJohn Legend, a cameo from her5-year-old son Isaiahandeight incredible and totally festive dresses.

Dolly Parton

Holly Dolly Christmasdoes have a ring to it. The country legend has always been one to get into the Christmas spirit, but last year she doubled down with a Christmas albumandChristmas special. That’s Christmas Queen behavior, if you ask us!

In 2017, the actressmade herself into a memeas she got into the Christmas spirit a little early. She wrote, “Other people: It isn’t Christmas season, Thanksgiving is first! Me: Fa la la la la la la la la.” She followed up the photo with the hashtags, “#bringonchristmas,” #ideckmyhallsNov1” and “hohoho.”

Tracee Ellis Ross

Last Christmas,Airbnb announcedit would be offering an exclusive experience to receive a holiday decorating lesson from the momager herself and celebrity floral designer Jeff Leatham.

“More is more, I always say — especially when it comes to holiday home decor,” she writes in herdescription for the Airbnb Experience. “The bigger, the brighter, the bolder, the better. But you can do a lot with a little too.”

Now that’s one way to have a Merry Kris-mas!

Candace Cameron Bure

This Christmas Queen spreads lots of cheer year after year with her Hallmark Christmas movies, and is dedicated to the season.

So dedicated, in fact, that she did a Christmas-themed workout for Instagram in a very festive set of tights and a white leotard. Peep that green eyeshadow and those on-theme sneakers.

Kelly Clarkson

We’re pretty sure releasing a song called “Christmas Come Early” in mid-October qualifies you as a Christmas Queen. Clarkson has shown her devotion to the holiday with numerous specials and albums over the year, from 2013’sWrapped in Redto this year’sWhen Christmas Comes Around.
