Mariah’s out of the freezer — and so is your holiday content strategy.

In partnership with

Hi !

Today in Summary of the Internet:

It’s that magical time when pumpkins are still on the porch, but Starbucks is already pushing peppermint foam. The internet just collectively agreed that the holidays start today — because Mariah said so. Meanwhile, Toronto’s celebrating like it’s 1993 and every brand in America is rolling out holiday deals before you can finish your Halloween candy.

👀 Curated by humans. Boosted by bots. Delivered with flavor.

✅  Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1️⃣ Mariah Carey Defrosts the Internet

What Happened:
The Queen of Christmas officially pressed play on the season with her annual “It’s Time” video, dropping at midnight. This year’s clip features Mariah freed from a block of ice by elves (one played by Billy Eichner) and instantly going full glam. Her post ignited millions of likes within hours and synced perfectly with brand collabs from Sephora to McDonald’s.

Creators and marketers treat this as the official bell — the moment to shift from spooky to sparkly. Search data for “holiday content” and “gift ideas” spiked overnight, and memes comparing Halloween exhaustion to Christmas mania are everywhere.

The internet’s verdict: if Mariah’s thawed, so should your holiday campaigns.

Why It’s Hot:

  • Collective ritual — everyone knows “the defrost moment.”

  • Emotional & nostalgic = built-in shareability.

  • You can tie anything to the holiday kickoff: products, playlists, prep routines.

Post Ideas:

  • 🎥 Reel/TikTok: “When Mariah says it’s time…” (show your seasonal switch).

  • 🖼️ Carousel: “Holiday mode: ON / How my brand flips for Q4.”

  • 🐦 X Post: “Mariah Carey announced it’s Christmas. I don’t make the rules.”

2️⃣ Toronto Blue Jays Win the World Series — and the Internet

What Happened:
After 32 years, the Blue Jays are champions again, defeating the Dodgers in a nail-biting Game 7 last night. The final’s viral moment — a pinch-hit grand slam by Addison Barger — is looping on every platform. Toronto erupted in street parties, and U.S. timelines are filled with “this is why we love baseball” clips.

Sports creators are breaking down plays, city accounts are posting skyline celebrations, and leadership gurus are already turning the comeback into “resilience lessons.” The crossover from sports into pop culture is massive — even non-fans are chiming in with meme edits of the winning swing.

Expect engagement to stay high all weekend as recap videos and “I was there” stories roll out.

Why It’s Hot:

  • Underdog victory = universal feel-good.

  • Visual gold: confetti, champagne, screaming fans.

  • Broad relevance: teamwork, persistence, national pride.

Post Ideas:

  • 🎥 TikTok: 10-sec edit of Game 7’s best plays with motivational caption.

  • 🧵 Thread: “5 lessons from the Blue Jays’ comeback for creators & founders.”

  • 📸 Photo: Fans in Toronto streets — caption “This is what winning feels like.”

Micro-CTA:
“Which Blue Jays moment gave you chills? Comment ⚾️👇”

3️⃣ Brands Launch Holiday Deals Before You’ve Even Finished Your Candy

What Happened:
Chipotle’s Boorito may have just ended, but its holiday promos (and everyone else’s) began at sunrise. Major chains and e-commerce brands flipped their creative overnight — think red-and-green menus, early Black Friday teases, and gift-card bundles. Consumer-search data for “holiday discount” is already climbing, proving audiences are ready.

For creators, this means jump now. The first weekend of November is a sweet spot: audiences aren’t fatigued yet, and they’re receptive to “early-bird” value posts. From small-business offers to affiliate roundups, this is the kickoff to six weeks of content gold.

It’s less about the deals themselves and more about the cultural shift: Halloween → Holidays. Document that transition and your feed stays relevant and timely.

Why It’s Hot:

  • Everyone’s buying, planning, or promoting something.

  • Feel-good consumerism pairs well with humor or advice.

  • Rich visuals: lights, packaging, festive colour palettes.

Post Ideas:

  • 🎥 Reel: “From spooky to sparkly — my brand’s overnight makeover.”

  • 🛍️ Carousel: “3 early deals worth jumping on (and how I’d use them).”

  • 🐦 Tweet: “Every brand on Nov 1: Ho Ho Hold my pumpkin spice.

Micro-CTA:
“Tag your fave early-holiday brand drop 🎁”
