Christmas came early when Mariah Carey rocked up at McDonald’s wearing a red ball gown.
The singer, 52, has joined forces with the food chain to create ‘The Mariah Menu’ in the US.
Mariah is synonymous with the festive season thanks to her single All I Want For Christmas Is You, and with the track said to have bagged the star a whopping $60m – she can afford a lot of Big Macs.
To celebrate her collaboration with the chain, Mariah took her twins Monroe and Moroccan to McDonald’s to the surprise of its employees.
Mariah shared a video of her entrance on Instagram before which Monroe approached the drive thru and and pranked an employee.

She puts on an accent and says: “Hi, how are ya? I want a beanie and T-shirt from the Mariah menu and I’ll also have a Big Mac with some chicken strips whatever you guys sell here.”
The bemused employee responds: “Um, I actually can’t understand you. Can you order at the window? I apologise.”
To which Monroe replies: ‘Um, no. Hello?’
The employee soon realises it’s a prank and asks the superstar’s daughter to “please just leave the store and never come back.”

Text on the bottom of the screen then reads: “Mariah’s assistants are in McDonald’s distracting the employees to keep her a surprise.”
Mariah says excitedly: “She’s going to let us know when we can walk in. They’re in there speaking Portuguese. I’m going to have to go in there and try and act regular.”
However donning a red sequinned ball gown with plunging neckline and diamond jewellery, Mariah looked anything but regular.
She jokingly said: “I hope I’m not overdressed,” to which someone can be heard replying: ‘I don’t think you’re overdressed. It’s the Mariah menu.’
Speaking to staff behind the counter, the hitmaker said: “I just need a cheeseburger. I don’t know who to ask. Is there like a manager or? First of all, this lighting is killing me.”
However the singer was of course instantly recognised with the employee shouting: “Oh my God!”
The star then took taking selfies with staff and customers.

Overcome with the excitement of it all Mariah said: “Listen, this was so fun and spontaneous.
“If I were a little kid, dreaming of this, I never would have thought that it would happen. Merry Christmas, I love you.”
According to MRC Data, Mariah earns at least 1¢ every time her smash-hit single All I Want For Christmas Is You is played.
In 2019, she is said to have made a not-too-shabby $1.7 million from streams alone.
In 2020, that number grew to $1.9 million and the star is projected to make even more this year.
In total, Mariah has made a reported more than $60 million in streaming income — which doesn’t even include album sales, downloads, licensing and other royalties.
