Mariah Carey just heard a word she’s probably not accustomed to hearing:  NO.  Because her bid to trademark the phrase “Queen of Christmas” was DENIED.

She also failed to trademark the phrases “Princess Christmas” and “Christmas Princess”.

She was hoping to lock them down for a variety of products, but she faced opposition, most notably from singer Elizabeth Chan, who actually has an album titled “The Queen of Christmas”.

Chan didn’t believe that anyone should own that phrase because, “Christmas is a season of giving, not the season of taking.”
