In the 2004 movie ‘Mean Girls,’ Lacey Chabert, Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Seyfried performed a holiday-themed song at a talent show. They wore latex leather skirts and red tops, along with Santa hats, to go with the performance.

Director Mark Waters revealed there was an even “racier” version of the hilarious scene with Entertainment Weekly in 2020. “They were going to turn and stick their posteriors up in the air,” Waters said. “And then they showed it to me, and I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s too much! Go with something else.'” He said they later came up with the iconic “thigh slap”, which he says “ended up being the funniest part of the scene.”

Mariah Carey wears a red and white Santa dress while taping a Christmas special in 2010. She wore black tights and boots with the ensemble, which she rocked while pregnant with twins.

The undisputed “Queen of Christmas” was back at the top of the charts in 2021 with her hit “All I Want For Christmas”. Celebrating another #1 on Twitter on Dec. 20, she wrote, “Yaaaas! I can’t even know what to say. The kids [10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan] just woke me up with confetti … and [boyfriend Bryan] Tanaka brought in two mimosas – one for him, one for me. We’re celebrating. This type of news, it’s never like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so bored of this news.’ To have another Billboard Hot 100 [No. 1] with a song that means so much to me, I can’t even, I can’t — I literally don’t know what to say.”

While she’s some people’s icon, Mariah joked about who the real “Queen Of Christmas” was on the “The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show” on BBC Radio on Dec. 17. “Let’s face it, everybody’s faith is what it is,” she shared. “But to me, Mary is the queen of Christmas.”

Paris Hilton looked super sexy in her red dress for an appearance during the holiday season. She wore knee-high stockings and black heels, along with a pop of red lipstick to go with the look.

Paris revealed her recipe for the perfect Christmas look with Vogue in Dec. 2021, saying, “I always love to wear something festive in bright red or in velvet—something really beautiful that stands out.” She added, “I also always get a Mrs. Claus outfit made, and I usually wear it when I go to the L.A. Mission, a homeless shelter downtown. I bring gifts and food for all the kids and people that are there.”

“If I have my Christmas parties, in the beginning I’ll wear a really beautiful sparkly holiday dress, and then I’ll change into a sexier Santa outfit. And I dress up all the dogs, too. I just ordered a bunch of Santa and elf costumes for them on Petco this weekend, and all these crazy decorations. I like to decorate their doggie mansion and give them a tiny little Christmas tree.”
