  • Am I naughty for doing that?

  • No, no.

  • Am I going to get on the naughty list?

  • Hi, Vogue.

  • Mariah Carey here, and today we're going to be cooking some cookies and making some hot chocolate.

  • But first, I think I should take off my apron.

  • So let's ask Wilfredo to come on in and do that.

  • Hi, Wilfredo.

  • Hi.

  • Well, you could bake in it, but it might get stuff all over it.

  • I wonder which one of these things I should use.

  • Which one?

  • The red one?

  • OK, that's festive.

  • I just thought that making sugar cookies would be very Christmassy, and I wanted to start getting into the vibe.

  • We're going to take this butter and put it in the mixer.

  • So people ask me, what is the correct day to start listening to?

  • I don't know if the question was Christmas music or all I want for Christmas is you.

  • All I want for Christmas is you.

  • I like to wait until at least November 1st.

  • But before that, I would always wait until Thanksgiving.

  • It depends.

  • Some people want to start a little bit earlier.

  • Usually, I wait till my video that I do called It's Time.

  • Then we go from there.

  • Listen away.

  • I'm going to put the sugar in.

  • Sugar goes in.

  • Yes, sugar.

  • Woo!

  • It's looking good.

  • I'm going to stop it now.

  • Some people would come up to me and tell me, I listened to your Christmas music in July.

  • And I thought that was really sweet.

  • Well, definitely not for me.

  • That's why I'm always going, not yet.

  • The holiday season has always been important to me, even when I was a little kid.

  • I love it.

  • It's just something that I treasure and I always have.

  • OK, so we have some eggs here.

  • Love vanilla extract.

  • I am adding flour into the entire bowl.

  • Off camera, I'm talking to a crack team of execs that are making this mesmerizing for me.

  • Do you really want all this flour in here?

  • OK.

  • Oh, I don't know.

  • Because I was just thinking maybe it could be less.

  • OK.

  • So I'm going to take a little flour.

  • Best holiday gift that I've ever received.

  • Oh, it was probably some diamonds, I've got to say.

  • Didn't want to say that out loud, but I had to.

  • Because the person who got me the diamonds is not here.

  • OK, more powder.

  • I mean, flour.

  • OK.

  • Well, see, this is just going to be everybody assumes that I can't cook.

  • And now they're going to look at this and be like, yeah, just as we suspected, she can't cook.

  • But that's not even true.

  • I'm trying to save my nails.

  • I had no idea that there was going to be a 30th anniversary of All I Want for Christmas is You.

  • I never thought it would be a 30th anniversary.

  • This big of a situation, but it's very exciting.

  • Now this goes in the fridge.

  • So much time has passed since we've been here in this kitchen.

  • Well, I'm going to get a little bit of this flour out.

  • Well, I decorated the studio when I was making All I Want for Christmas is You because I wanted it to feel like Christmassy.

  • And it was in the middle of the summer.

  • I put up lights and everything all over the walls.

  • These are such good tips that I'm getting to put this in the flour so you don't mess it up.

  • Oh, look, this is so cute.

  • It's a butterfly.

  • Here is a snowflake.

  • I did the best I could.

  • So now that I've cut out my cookies, which I totally did all by myself, I think I'm going to take them over here and put them in the oven.

  • Or I could go this way.

  • While the cookies are baking, we're going to make some hot chocolate.

  • I'm playing holiday songs on my Christmas tour, but also a couple classics.

  • I got started doing that.

  • My agent suggested it.

  • I didn't really want to do too much with the non-holiday songs because I thought, like, it doesn't really work.

  • But it did.

  • And now I do about five or six.

  • So I believe this is sugar.

  • I hope it's not salt.

  • I'm kind of trying to, like, not tell everybody about it.

  • But then again, why not?

  • It is a grunge album that I made when I was making my album Daydream, which has always been my baby, fantasy, One Sweet Day, all these songs that don't really go with the grunge album.

  • Look at this.

  • Did you see that just come up like that?

  • So now that it's boiling, I'm going to put this chocolate in there.

  • I think I was just tired of my regular life.

  • Not tired of it, but it was just every day I was doing the same type of thing.

  • And then the band was there.

  • So I just said, hey, try this.

  • Ba-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

  • And that's what happened.

  • It's very good.

  • I believe it is done.

  • I got to get this in here the right way.

  • And I don't know if that is.

  • Yay.

  • I used to wake up really late for school.

  • And my mother would be talking to me.

  • And I'd be like, I don't want you to go to school.

  • I don't want it.

  • I don't want it.

  • And she'd be like, don't do that to your voice.

  • You're going to ruin your voice.

  • And then I started learning how to make it into a tune.

  • Not too much.

  • I think it's pretty sweet.

  • Not too, too sweet.

  • I don't really have a sweet tooth.

  • I'm just like, if something seems like it's going to taste good, I'll have it.

  • Keanu, would you like to come in and taste this one?

  • Keanu is a fabulous chef that's been here helping me figure this out.

  • I'm going to keep this.

  • I'm going to keep this back there with me.

  • I'm going to keep mine, too.

  • I think the cookies might be ready.

  • So the cookies are done, and they have miraculously cooled.

  • I'm excited to decorate them.

  • I'm going to start with the icing.

  • Well, this is a snowflake.

  • I'm just going to kind of sparkle it.

  • But I need my special stuff.

  • I wasn't planning on it, but it kind of looks like cold cream.

  • Vogue recently featured my dogs in Dogue.

  • I got them little outfits and ensembles, and it was so cute and fun.

  • Those are my dogs.

  • Okay, now I'm going to get my special things.

  • These are my special sparkles.

  • Let's try it.

  • I always do the majority of my decorating off camera.

  • All right, give it a try.

  • Why am I surprised?

  • It's good.

  • All right, Vogue, thank you for having me.

  • This was so fun.

  • These cookies for all to share at the holiday season, and it's time!

  • You guys want to try some?

  • I want the butterfly.

  • Cheers!

Am I naughty for doing that?
