In the words of Mariah Carey, “It’s time!”

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” has become the ultimate holiday anthem, heralding the official beginning of the festive season. Even Google is joining in on the merriment, adding a fun twist to its search engine whenever users enter “Mariah Carey.”

### Type ‘Mariah Carey’ into Google for a Festive Surprise

When you search for “Mariah Carey” on Google—whether on a desktop or mobile device—you’ll be greeted with a charming animation of snowflakes softly cascading down your screen, celebrating the iconic singer and her seasonal hit. (If it doesn’t appear immediately, scroll down and look for a teal button with a snowflake icon to trigger the effect.)

This isn’t the first occasion on which Google has shared holiday joy with this feature. The search engine unveiled the same festive animation last year, much to the joy of fans.

Now that we’ve reached November 1st and Christmas is just shy of two months away, Carey has officially shifted from Halloween (where she donned a Morticia Addams costume) to the holiday spirit. She initiated this transition with a [new Santa-themed video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpSdD63j7Y4).

Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is frequently celebrated as the reigning queen of holiday tunes. Released nearly three decades ago, the lively track remains an enduring classic. According to [Billboard](https://www.billboard.com/pro/how-much-mariah-carey-make-all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you/), Carey reportedly earns around $1.55 million each year from plays and sales of the song, with an additional $830,000 in royalties—before any fees are considered.

As of 2017, [The Economist](https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2017/11/30/the-music-industry-should-be-dreaming-of-a-white-christmas) estimated that the song had produced $60 million in royalties since its release in 1994. Clearly, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is not merely a holiday classic—it’s a present that continues to give.
