The first scene from Mariah Carey's upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie A Christmas Melody has leaked online and it's a sight to behold.
The nauseating one-minute clip stars Carey and Mean Girls' Lacey Chabert as former high school rivals whose young daughters go to the same Ohio school.
Carey, who directed the project, plays Melissa, a nasty queen bee figure who is the head of the parent-teacher association, while Chabert is Kristin, a down-on-her-luck divorcee
The scene is set in a deserted hallway where Carey and Chabert somehow manage to bump into each other before Carey proceeds to rub her riches in her rival's face.
The best part? Audiences are somehow meant to believe the pair are old classmates when Carey is 12 years older than Chabert.
The Hero singer is also filmed with a dusky romantic filter while Chabert, who starred as Gretchen Weiners in Mean Girls, gets no such treatment.
If the short clip is any indication, Carey's acting and the script for A Christmas Melody will be woeful.
"Melissa McKean?" Chabert asks after running into the primped and polished Carey.
"Melissa McKean-Atkinson," Carey corrects her. "Married now. Twelve glorious years, three children, huge four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath, two storey."
Naturally, the women eventually learn to put their differences aside in the spirit of the holidays. This is a Christmas movie after all!
A Christmas Melody airs on the Hallmark Channel in the US on December 19.
