The cozy warmth of binge season, sweater weather, and Christmas lights decking up is the profound reminder of December’s incoming. A season of merriment that often becomes synonymous with the embarking of new beginnings also tags the jamming of social media. As feeds mob up with pictures of the holiday shenanigans, trends also witness jumping jacks. About three years ago, ‘Heather’ by Conan Gray initiated a meme marathon on socials that has resurfaced yet again this year. But this time, the jumping jack is none other than the singer himself.

Trends on social media often lose their shackles after a certain period unless it becomes a seasonal sensation. Undeniably vouching for the latter, Conan Gray took to his TikTok to relive the Heather or the 3rd December meme. The trend was incorporated based on his lyrics, “I still.. me in your sweater..”. In his video, the singer could be seen taking the humor game up by a notch with Heather’s funny representation. He captioned the post with, “who has a sweater for tomorrow..”.

As the sweater season evokes the longing for romantic connections, the meme was initiated humorously by people lacking significant others to share their sweaters with. Although it has been three years since it first surfaced, Gray’s attending to it has made him one of the millennials. Never a better way to fit the lines than joining the 3rd December meme ahead of the 3rd of December.
