If you’re a user of TikTok or Instagram reels, you must have seen a rise in references to December 3 on your For You Page. During the past year, many new users joined the site and contributed to the ever-growing pool of material. TikTok and reels are without a doubt the place to go to discover the newest viral trends and memes.
While challenges, audio, and filters that go viral quickly become trends, there have been a few instances in the past where a specific date started to trend on the app, confusing other users about what it meant. After initially gaining popularity in December 2020, December 3 is now trending once more. But what exactly does it all mean? What happened on December 3rd?
December 3rd: Sweater Day?
Chances are that if December 3 has been mentioned on your For You/Explore Page, it has been mentioned with sweaters. It turns out that this whole thing is based on a line from Conan Gray’s song ‘Heather,’ which came out in 2020 and has continued to be a smash ever since.
The first line of the song goes “I still remember, 3rd of December, me in your sweater..”. It’s about a person getting a sweater from someone s/he likes, but the person is attracted to someone else, called Heather.
Some people now intend to gift their own sweaters to a crush on the day mentioned in the song. Others have been recording videos in the hopes of being chosen to get a sweater that day by someone.
