Her music may be the unofficial anthem of the holiday season, but officially, Mariah Carey is not the "Queen of Christmas" – or even the holiday's "princess" – the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled on Tuesday.
Carey, whose 1994 hit "All I Want for Christmas is You" has become one of the most recognizable parts of the Christmas holiday season. As such, she filed a petition last year to trademark the name "Queen of Christmas"
But that petition failed, according to a press release by Christmas music artist Elizabeth Chan, who has been vocal about her opposition to Carey's request. Chan is "the world's only full-time Christmas music recording artist," according to the press release, and has held the nickname "Queen of Christmas for years," as have other artists.
