Mariah Carey is colloquially known as the "Queen of Christmas" — but she isn't legally known as the Queen of Christmas, since her attempt to trademark the phrase has been denied.
Carey had also attempted to trademark "Princess Christmas" and "QOC," but those were also refused.
Carey's trademark bid had been contested by full-time Christmas songwriter Elizabeth Chan, who released an album called The Queen of Christmas last year. Chan told The Wall Street Journal, "It's my life's work."
Meanwhile, Carey will continue to rule Christmas, albeit without the title. Her 1994 hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You" isn't going anywhere — especially now that the copyright infringement lawsuit has been dropped.
