Mariah Carey shared a holiday photo with her twins on December 26, 2025. The festive shot quickly set off jokes, praise, and confusion online.

Matching outfits drew the first reactions

First, Carey posed by a glittering tree in a red sequined gown. Monroe and Moroccan Cannon, both 14, wore jeans and sweaters. Their sweaters showed Carey’s face and the words “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

Fans focused on height and family resemblance

Next, many viewers noticed the twins now tower over their 56-year-old mom. Some said Moroccan looks more like his dad, Nick Cannon. Others said the twins looked awkward in the bold sweaters.

Hand gestures and missing dad raised questions

However, Moroccan’s hand signs puzzled many people. Some guessed he was being rude, though the post said he was not. Also, Nick Cannon did not appear, and Bre Tiesi shared earlier photos with him and their child.

Finally, Monroe once wrote on Instagram that she has “ONE brother.” She added that her other siblings are much younger than her and Moroccan. The post also sparked interest in older photos showing the twins growing up.
