Aside from Whamageddon prompting the start of the holiday season, everyone knows that Mariah Carey defrosts during the early weeks of November when malls and establishments blast her hit song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" almost everywhere. (Mariah doesn't literally defrost, just to be clear.)

But Fortnite is taking the pop culture meme to the next level. It set up a fantastic-looking stage with a big, seemingly defrosting block of ice in the middle.

It turns out that Mariah Carey is set to appear in the Fortnite Shop and her dance emote, as shown in @ponyraee's post in X. The singer-songwriter legend's Fortnite skin is leaked to be available for purchase on December 20.

In another X post by @HYPEX, several other icons are set to appear in the latest update of the Fortnite Shop. In addition to Mariah Carey, Santa Shaq, Ninja Batman, and Harley will appear. Master Chief from Halo and a Cyberpunk 2077 set will also be available.

A Redditor also uploaded a recreation of how Maria Carey will defrost during the Fortnite event, showing the block of ice exploding in the middle. Fans are excited to see Mariah Carey in the game; some wish she was an in-game boss.

Regardless of whether Mariah Carey will be a boss in Fortnite, players will still see her vying for the #1 spot for Victory Royale once her Fortnite Skin becomes available for purchase.

Fortnite recently brought back the OG map through a new game mode called Fortnite OG. Players who want to relive the early glory days of the battle royale can now do so anytime they want.

Having a Mariah Carey Fortnite skin isn't just an homage to her hit song and pop culture; it could also be a possible entry for the rarest Fortnite skins ever.
