No, no.

Am I gonna 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?

Okay, 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 gonna 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 gonna put the sugar in.

Sugar goes in.

Yes, sugar.

Woo!

It's looking good.

I'm gonna 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.

Okay, 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?

Okay.

Oh, I don't know, because I was just thinking maybe it could be less.

Okay, so I'm gonna take a little flour.

Best holiday gift that I've ever received.

Oh, it was probably some diamonds, I've gotta say.

Didn't wanna say that out loud, but I had to, because the person who got me the diamonds is not here.

Okay, more powder.

I mean, flour.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, see, this is just gonna be, everybody assumes that I can't cook, and now they're gonna 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 gonna be a 30th anniversary of All I Want for Christmas is You.

I never thought it would be 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 gonna 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 gonna take them over here and put them in the oven.

Or I could go this way.

While the cookies are baking, we're gonna 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 wanna do too much with the non-holiday songs, because I thought 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 kinda trying to 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 Be My Baby, Fantasy, One Sweet Day, all these songs that don't really go with a grunge album.

Look at this.

Did you see that just come up like that?

So, now that it's boiling,

I'm gonna 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-na.

And that's what happened.

It's very good.

I believe it is done.

I gotta get this in here the right way, and I don't know if that is.

Yay!

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 wanna go to school,

I don't wanna, I don't wanna.

And she'd be like, don't do that to your voice, you're gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna keep this, I'm gonna keep this back there with me.

I'm gonna 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 gonna start with the icing.

Oh, this is a snowflake.

I'm just gonna 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 gonna 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 wanna try some?

I want the butterfly.

Cheers!
