Social Pumpkin Patching

Social pumpkin patching is an extension of pumpkin patching in which the reluctant participant is not only expected to attend the activity but is also expected to appear enthusiastic for photographs, videos, or social media posts that portray the experience as voluntary and enjoyable.
The social media component is what distinguishes social pumpkin patching from ordinary pumpkin patching. The participant becomes part of a curated public narrative, regardless of how they actually feel about the activity.

Origin:
The phrase was coined to humorously describe the recurring phenomenon of people who disappear on weekends because they are obligated to participate in highly curated, family-oriented activities, often accompanied by photographs shared on social media that project enthusiasm whether genuine or not.
