Fans may continue to refer to Mariah Carey as the “Queen of Christmas,” but she can’t officially own that trademark. As previously reported by Page Six, the US Trademark Trial and Appeal Board have not allowed the singing sensation to legally use the trademark as well as “Princess of Christmas” or “QOC.” Why? Because another festive singer named Elizabeth Chan objected to Carey for wanting to use it for her company, Lotion LLC, on a range of merchandise. As noted by the outlet, Chan has released 12 Christmas albums and has even trademarked “Princess of Christmas,” which is the nickname for her daughter, Noelle, who sometimes collaborates with Chan.
Chan isn’t the only festive singer who wasn’t pleased with Carey’s idea of using the trademark. Darlene Love, the former Blossoms member behind the classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” also was against it. “I did this to protect and save Christmas. Christmas isn’t about one single person — it’s about everybody,” Chan exclusively told Page Six. “I’ve dedicated my life to this understanding of how special Christmas is. It was difficult to be the one to stand up.”
Carey’s plans this holiday season haven’t been completely ruined, however. In addition to her upcoming concerts, she has released a new Christmas book, “The Christmas Princess.” She wrote on Instagram, “Hope you enjoy reading about the Adventures of Little Mariah in my new holiday fairytale The Christmas Princess.
