United Kingdom, Dec. 9 -- Zooey Deschanel has joked she's coming for Mariah Carey's title of the Queen of Christmas.

The 45-year-old actress - who played Jovie opposite Will Ferrell in Elf - stars in new festive film Merv, while her She and Him band released A Very She and Him Christmas and Christmas Party in 2011 and 2016 respectively.

"Does Mariah have two Christmas movies? I'm just wondering."

Mariah has had the title Queen of Christmas bestowed on her by the public thanks to her 1994 anthem All I Want For Christmas Is You, and Zooey insisted she's happy to concede any claim to the moniker.
