If you’re around teenagers or spend a lot of time online, you may have come across the phrase “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” being repeated. This trend has taken over TikTok and real-life conversations, but it’s not actually about promoting the airline Jet2.

Teens are hooked on this ad for some reason, and the resulting videos are both random and hilarious. The phrase originates from a YouTube ad for a British airline featuring a British woman’s voice saying the same words. Set to “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne, the sound went viral on TikTok, where teens began creating videos of chaotic and silly scenarios accompanied by the sound.
Over 1.6 million videos have been made using this sound on TikTok, with teens showcasing bizarre situations like revealing tiny hotel room windows or getting hit in the face by fish. The trend has become a fun and light-hearted way for teens to share amusing content.
The voice behind the viral sound, Zoë Lister, expressed her surprise at hearing her voice all over social media. She described her feelings as a mix of joy, anxiety, and confusion over the trend’s popularity. This trend is just another example of the quirky and ever-evolving world of teen slang, much like other trends such as meltmaxxing or “holy airball.”
This light-hearted trend is just one of many that come and go in the world of teen culture.
