Mariah Carey wanted to trademark 'Queen of Christmas' and 'Princess Christmas', but her application was rejected
She added:"Christmas is for everyone. It's meant to be shared – it's not meant to be owned."
Carey's trademark application would have given her the legal right to stop others from using the festive titles on music and merchandise. Chan told Variety:"If you knit a 'Queen of Christmas' sweater, you should be able to sell it on Etsy to somebody else so they can buy it for their grandma." Chan wasn't the only person to raise concerns about Carey's festive trademark application. On Facebook, Darlene Love, who is best known for the classic"Christmas ", said that she'd been the"Queen of Christmas" since long before Mariah Carey's ascent to stardom, perCarey has been associated with the festive season since she released"All I Want for Christmas Is You" in 1994.
