Ho, ho, no! Mariah Carey’s request to trademark “Queen of Christmas” has been denied ahead of the 2022 holiday season.
The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” singer, 52, has become synonymous with Christmas since released her festive tune in 1994. However, on Tuesday, November 15, her petition to be known as the sole “Queen of Christmas” was not approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

That’s just not the right thing to do. Christmas is for everyone. It’s meant to be shared; it’s not meant to be owned.”
Love, for her part, recalled David Letterman dubbing her the “Queen of Christmas” back in ‘80s after she performed her hit song “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on The Late Show With David Letterman each season for nearly three decades.
“Is it true that Mariah Carey trademarked ‘Queen of Christmas’?” the 81-year-old singer asked via Facebook in August. “What does that mean, that I can’t use that title? David Letterman officially declared me the Queen
