So how’d Carey, the undisputed Queen of Christmas, feel about the honor? “This is such an amazing Christmas gift!” She told Billboard. “As a songwriter, I feel so honored to have this song reach Billboard’s [Hot 100] top 10 for the first time. I honestly never thought we’d be talking about this happening, but I’m so thankful to everyone who embraces this song as part of their holiday tradition.”

She added, “It truly warms my heart, and I am proud of this song that I wrote basically as a kid on my little Casio keyboard.”
