In the clip, a clock counts down the seconds until midnight on Halloween. As soon as the clock strikes, a vault opens, revealing Carey frozen in a block of ice. Four people, sporting Halloween costumes, aim hairdryers at the ice to set her free. As she emerges, she exclaims, “It’s time!” The video ends with Carey dancing to “All I Want For Christmas Is You” as snow falls.
