With the arrival of the last month of the year, a trend called December 3 has suddenly started becoming prominent on TikTok. The widely used video-sharing platform has been the brewing ground for many trends. These viral trends have become a source of entertainment all over the social media scene and turned into an annual tradition.
Hence, with the return of the December 3 trend, here is what is its meaning and how people celebrate it.
December 3 meaning on TikTok explained
As December 3 is around the corner, TikTok users have taken over the platform sharing videos based on the trend. The trend surrounding this specific date has reportedly been generated from the popular song “Heather,” sung by none other than Conan Gray.
The first lyric from the song which reads, “I still remember, the third of December, me in your sweater. You said it looked better on me than it did you,” was the main source from where the trend originated. Drawing inspiration from this lyric, the December 3 trend on TikTok revolves around videos of giving sweaters to one’s lover/crush or getting one from them.
Although many users share reels about sweaters on December 3, it is unknown whether they actually follow this tradition. Acknowledging the December 3 trend in 2022 in an Instagram post, Conan Gray wrote, “Happy annual heather day <3 on this third of december, as always, i’ve made a couple sweaters for those of us who didn’t receive one today.”
The singer further expressed his gratitude toward his fans for making his song Heather a big hit and added, “This year heather went double platinum, reached a billion streams, and had the second most shared lyric in the world. that was all because of y’all. thank you.”
To commemorate December 3 as Heather Day, Conan Gray also launched limited editions of sweaters just for his fans and made them available in 2020, the release year of the song, on his website.
