‘Hot Grandma Summer’ is Trending on TikTok as Millennials and Gen Z are Idealizing The Benefits of Retired Life, Gossip at Nana’s, and Going to Bed By 7:00PM

You know you’re reaching your thirties when a glass of wine and chilling at home on a Friday night sounds simply delightful. We’ve all gotten our party out of our system by now, and quite frankly, these old bones are getting tired.

But what about your Grandma? Is she the one setting the tone for this summer?

Hot Grandma Summer is trending on TikTok as Caroline, aka @dramatic.caroline, shares her early dinners, wine-fueled family gossip nights, and early nights to bed. Not to mention, she’s now listed first on grandma’s will. WIN WIN.

Hot grandma summer

To people who enjoy clubbing, maximum socialization, and staying up late, watching Tucker Carlson with slightly racist Golden Generation adults doesn’t sound like the best way to spend your precious young years. But to others, this sounds like a dream and a beautiful way to make actual, life-long memories with a person that really matters.

To Caroline, who spends a lot of time with her grandma, an afternoon with Lita is unmatched. In fact, this sassy ol’ lady is not only trending on TikTok, but she’s inspiring a generation of youths to better appreciate Wheel of Fortune and a good glass of chardonnay on a hot afternoon.

Caroline has also shared videos of her grandma’s reaction to going viral, to which she cutely responds “Did it get a hundred views?” Oh meemaw… More like a million.

Lita doesn’t really get TikTok yet

Although to Lita’s defense, to her generation, TikTok phenomenons and virility are a sobering concept. The Internet and world-wide reach of “posting” is, to them, like sending a handwritten letter to every single person on the face of this earth. Imagine how daunting that would be.

With that in mind, it’s kind of nice to think about the simplicity of living as if it were Hot Grandma Summer, sipping wine in the garden, watching the news, and enjoying the simplicity of the immediate world we live in.

And most importantly, going to bed early with the AC blasting and your coziest socks on. Now that’s living the dream. Who needs fame if you have Nana?
