Singer-songwriter Elizabeth Chan, who also uses the title, told The Post she was protecting the future for her daughter — known as the Princess of Christmas.
. “I wanted to protect what Christmas looked like for [her] in the future.”
Having quit her Condé Nast job and made Christmas a full-time gig, Chan has written some 1,200 holiday songs.Short-circuiting Carey’s trademarking of the title meant potentially derailing a host of products that the pop star had expressedas the Queen of Christmas: posters, pajamas, cocktail shakers and face masks, among others.
Working against the clock — once a trademark request is published in the Official Gazette of the US Patent and Trademark Office, there is a small window of time during which to oppose it — Chan enlisted WilmerHale to represent her. Willing to risk what her lawyer Louis W. Tompros has characterized as “a huge amount of potential backlash from fans of a globally known superstar,” she went after Carey’s attempt to claim the title.
Darlene Love — famous for her version of “Christmas ” — was also perturbed by Carey’s attempted claim to the throne.“There are many Queens of Christmas,” Chan told The Post. “When I think of the Queen of Christmas, I think of my grandmother.” Upon finding that she had blocked Carey’s claim, “I was relieved and felt that justice had been served,” Can said. “I got more support than backlash and was happy to give Christmas back to everybody.”of bath and skincare products: “No. I didn’t even know they existed.”
