In March 2021, she filed an application to trademark the exclusive usage of the title, along with “QOC”, “Princess of Christmas” and “Christmas Princess”.

‘Tis the season … for a feud. Singers Darlene Love and Elizabeth Chan are fighting back against Mariah Carey attempting to register the title “Queen of Christmas” as a trademark.

However, according to Variety, full-time holiday singer Elizabeth Chan has raised an objection, claiming nobody should hold the legal rights to the title. "Christmas has come way before any of us on earth, and hopefully will be around way after any of us on earth," Elizabeth, who released an album titled "Queen of Christmas" in 2021, told Variety.
