The American singer dressed up as Morticia Adams for her annual video to kick off her holiday celebrations.
The clip opens in black and white with the 55-year-old wearing Morticia’s signature long straight black hair and a black dress with bat-shaped sleeves.
Carey dances with a man dressed as Gomez Adams, who wears a pinstripe suit with his hair gelled in a center part, before she throws a dagger that nearly scrapes his face.
As the clock ticks down from 11.59pm on October 31st to midnight on November 1st, the cupboard opens to reveal a Santa-inspired outfit inside in full colour.
The video then cuts to Carey, dressed in her own red and white outfit, sitting in a sleigh while her 1994 hit All I Want For Christmas Is You plays while her Gomez transforms into a snowman.
Carey captioned the video: “IT’S TIME!!!!”.
Celebrities commented on the post, including reality star Kris Jenner, who wrote: “Oh this is so good!!!” and Brooklyn 99 star Stephanie Beatrice, who said: “THE WONDERFUL TIME.”
Carey has become increasingly synonymous with the Christmas season since the release of her first holiday album Merry Christmas in 1994.
She will visit 20 US cities over the next two months for holiday shows in honor of the album’s 30th anniversary.
