Carrey talked about this tune which has now become a holiday classic in a New York Times interview:
“It’s something my die-hard fans think about, and people that are really close to me are talking to me about it literally all year. But I don’t need something else to validate the existence of this song.
I used to pick it apart whenever I listened to it, but at this point, I feel like I’m finally able to enjoy it. I just truly love the holidays – I know it’s corny, and I don’t care.”
It taking the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 just goes to show that people seem to can’t get enough of the iconic festive hit.
