It's officially Christmas

We're a little late to the party, but Happy Thanksgiving if you were celebrating this year. Now, get out of the way with your turkey and thankfulness - it's time for Mariah season to begin.

All we want for Christmas is peace and goodwill, but failing that, we'll take a Mariah Carey Thanksgiving parade performance.

The songstress and (unofficial) Queen of Christmas took to the rainy streets of New York yesterday to perform 'All I Want For Christmas' at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and was even joined by her two children Moroccan and Monroe - and a gorgeous red gown, with matching umbrella too.

Eagle-eyed (*cough*) viewers were quick to point out that Carey lip-synced her performance, a feat which has been blasted by various online publications over the past 24 hours.

We're here to celebrate Carey's feat, however, because you know what, if we made that much money every year from a single song, we'd do the exact same. You go, Mariah!

This isn't the first time that Carey has made headlines for her questionable performances - lest we forget that infamous New Year's Eve mess-up in 2016, which she later described as "mortifying".

And so, now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, 'The Late Late Toy Show' is on RTÉ One tonight, and it also just so happens to be Black Friday, all of a sudden it's feeling rather festive.

Here's how people were reacting to Mariah Carey and her trademark lip-sync Thanksgiving parade performance.

Merry crisis.
