What Gen Z Got for Christmas in 2022
a lot...they got a lot
Happy (almost) New Year!
I really did plan to take the whole week away from screens, but then I got a new iPhone for Christmas — I went from an 8 to a 14; truly momentous — and my scrolling simply could not be stopped.
At least I used my scrolling for good, like watching Christmas haul TikToks, and not, like, bingeing Hallmark holiday movies. (I was bingeing Hallmark holiday movies on a different screen.)
#ChristmasWishlists vs #ChristmasHauls
After spending an inordinate amount of time in early December watching Christmas wishlist TikToks — in which TikTokers, primarily young women, share everything they want for the holidays — I couldn’t not spend an inordinate amount of time watching Christmas hauls — in which TikTokers, primarily young women, share everything they got this year.
