‘Mariah and I have chatted over the years about working together on a food business and, with her love of baking, cookies were a natural fit,’ said Robert Earl, Co-Founder of Virtual Dining Concepts.
‘As Mariah is synonymous with the holidays and celebration, we will make sure that her special holiday flavors are available not only for the holidays but year-round. It has been an inspiration to work with Mariah to develop this brand and to get it launched in time for National Cookie Day and the holiday season.’
I can think of no better way to celebrate with friends and family than with a box of Mariah’s Cookies, and on December 4, I plan to watch Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special on Apple TV with a box of assorted cookies myself,’ concluded Earl.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview the five-time Grammy winner spoke about the origins of her fondness for Christmas.
The singer-songwriter-actress told Elle her affinity for the holiday began because did not grow up in a stable household.
‘I think it’s just that longing that I had as a child, that I always wanted things to be perfect for the holidays,’ said the Glitter actress.
‘And they never were. It was always somebody ruining the moment, always these dysfunctional family members who came around and foiled everything.’
Her upbringing was challenging: ‘A lot of very bad stuff happened to me when I was 12.’

She remembers Christmas as ‘maybe the one time that I got to breathe for a second.’
The diva added: ‘And so I just made a pact with myself that I wasn’t going to allow that to happen anymore. After I kind of emerged from my first relationship–slash–marriage, I created the Christmases that I wanted to have.’
