Last week, TikTok user @420doggface208 – aka Nathan Apodaca – unintentionally started a new craze when he posted a carefree video of himself skateboarding down an empty highway, swigging on a bottle of Cran-Raspberry juice, lip-synching Fleetwood Mac’s classic “Dreams.” In a moment of accidental genius, Apodaca captured a mood that went viral – and the attention of the band themselves who retweeted the video with simply captioned, “We love this.” (See here for a quick catch up). 

That video alone, clocked up tens of millions of views and sent the 1977 Fleetwood hit flying up the streaming charts, and even entered the Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs Chart. But that’s just the beginning of what has now spiralled into the #FleetwoodMacChallenge, with people around the world all taking a hand at recreating Apodaca’s zen vibes. 

Mick Fleetwood himself couldn’t even resist, joining TikTok just so he could give it a go – complete with Cran-Raspberry juice and all, of course; even speculting that it might even be the secret ingredient to ultimate Mac enjoyment...

“@420doggface208 had it right,” he captioned the video of himself appearing to cruise around while drinking the beverage. “Dreams and Cranberry just hits different.”

Apodaca’s original video has clocked up over 36 million views (and counting), and the world’s fascination with giving it a go seems to only grow stronger! Users across social media platforms are sharing their personal spin on the challenge. From this guy who decided to celebrate Halloween early, somehow skateboarding with a jack-o-lantern head…
