Fans were quick to comment, writing things like, "So exciting! We smell another #1 Holiday Hit plus a Best Original Song Academy Award and Golden Globe. We're ready, Queen," "This a busy year for Mariah. Queen of Christmas came to slay," and "Counting down the days, so excited!!!"

The movie follows the story of a young donkey named Bo, voiced by Walking Dead star Steven Yeun, who ventures out with his animal friends to become the accidental heroes of the very first Christmas. Kelly Clarkson, Gina Rodriguez, Keegan-Michael Key, Zachary Levi, Kristen Chenoweth, Tyler Perry and Oprah are just a few of the other A-listers who lend their voices to the fantasy film.

Back in March, Carey revealed that her classic holiday hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," was being turned into an animated movie.
