Mariah Carey battles to trademark “Queen of Christmas”
Yes, she wants the title all to herself. If she registers it and it is approved, that would mean no one else can legally use the title Queen of Christmas. Not even Martha Steward when it comes to her outstanding Christmas decorations and table settings.
And while many fans would agree Mariah deserves it, there are some who don’t think it’s a phrase that should be trademarked, by anyone.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” is the best selling Christmas record of all time. However, numerous recording industry sources, give that honor to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
From the movie Frozen, it’s “Do You Wanna Build A Snowman,” that has stepped in right behind Mariah’s classic song. I bet you have that song stuck in your head now that you’ve read this. Especially if you are a parent of young children.
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” is a classic, you can’t deny that. But is it right or even fair to bestow such a permanent title on one person, for the rest of time. Some at Sunny 106-3, The Christmas Station, agree that Mariah is indeed the Queen of Christmas. But to trademark the name does cause one to pause.
So just who are the other Christmas divas in the trademark fray? Elizabeth Chan and Darlene Love. You might not know their names but there is a good chance you know their Christmas music. Check it out.
