“It’s just honestly, it’s a magical time for me. It really is my most favorite time of year,” the superstar said. “[But] I also love summer, I love a lot. It’s not just like, ‘Oh, I’m only emerging from the sea at Christmastime.’ Honestly, that stuff makes me laugh and I live for it and the truth is if I had to do that, I would do it.”

Meanwhile, starting Dec. 13, McDonald’s will be offering the Mariah Menu featuring some of her favorite items, such as the cheeseburger and Big Mac, soft-baked chocolate chip cookies and apple pie, per PEOPLE.
