News, she quipped: \u201cLook, I&#8217;m just \u2014 I&#8217;m just stating facts here. I have two Christmas movies out and two Christmas records.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes Mariah have two Christmas movies? I&#8217;m just wondering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mariah has had the title Queen of Christmas bestowed on her by the public thanks to her 1994 anthem All I Want For Christmas Is You, and Zooey insisted she&#8217;s happy to concede any claim to the moniker.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;No, I love Mariah. She is the Queen of Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nPop icon Mariah previously insisted insisted that she isn&#8217;t particularly hard to please at Christmas because she always appreciates the thought and effort people go to in order to buy a gift they think she will like.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked if she thinks she is an easy person to buy a gift for, she told Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2: &#8220;I think so because it&#8217;s really the thought that counts.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I mean, I know that sounds clich\u00e9, but it&#8217;s true. If somebody takes time out of their day, and goes and gets you something, that&#8217;s a big deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMariah famously releases a video each year, typically after Halloween, titled It&#8217;s Time, which signifies she is ready to get in the festive spirit.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd Mariah admitted the clips are often a whole year in the making.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI mean, I start thinking about the next year\u2019s one after the current year\u2019s comes out.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I mean I just love it, I really do, it&#8217;s so much fun. Honestly, my whole life I\u2019ve just loved Christmas so much.
