Mariah Carey was joined by two very special guests on stage at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards: her son Moroccan and daughter Monroe.
The 12-year-old twins—whom the Queen of Christmas shares with Nick Cannon—looked so grown up as they presented their superstar mom with a special honor during the broadcast, which took place on Sunday, Nov. 19.
Carey, who earned the Chart Achievement Award this year, appeared on stage in a white-as-snow bedazzled minidress, reminiscent of an ice skater's outfit, alongside her ever-growing preteen children, who matched her holiday vibes in white and black outfits with pops of red.
The trio looked as if they were ready to hit the slopes together in the festive 'fits, as they all beamed during the broadcast while the iconic songstress took the 'mic to deliver her acceptance speech.
The "Always Be My Baby" singer won the distinction for her hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which has "placed at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in a record 19 distinct years," according to Billboard. Additionally, Carey is the "only woman with three songs to have topped the Hot 100 for 12 or more weeks."
"Her record for the longest span of No. 1s on the Hot 100 is 32 years and five months," with the famed Christmas song, in specific, logging a "record 91 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100."
In the sweet moment where she accepted the much-deserved award, her children handed over the gold microphone-shaped trophy. "Congratulations, mommy," they said, as the legendary songstress responded with, "Thank you, babies!"
"I couldn't ask for better presenters than Roc and Roe," she added, gaining an audible "Awww" from the crowd. During the speech, she noted how some of her "most memorable times" in her career have been connected to Billboard, as she thanked the outlet for the honor. She also made sure to send love to her "fans who've been here with [her] through the hits and the misses."
During the show, the five-time Grammy Award winner delivered a performance of the song that "changed [her] entire life," complete with a beautiful holiday set sure to get everyone into the Christmas spirit.
In other recent wins, Carey was honored with her very own holiday Barbie, which sold out in mere hours after its release, sending fans into a complete tizzy.
