About

Nightcap, Nightgown & Candle Stick Holder, also known as the Ebenezer Scrooge Outfit, refers to an old-timey, bedtime outfit of striped pajamas and a candle stick that became known in memes on Twitter alongside the concept of Honk Shoo and Mimimi snoring. The sleeping cap and gown, similar to that of Ebenezer Scrooge, became satirically known to hold powers of coziness, able to give anyone the best night's sleep of their life. The first known meme referencing the outfit surfaced on Reddit in 2019 and was related to rapper Drake's bedtime rituals.

On December 22nd, 2019, Redditor BarfMilkshake posted a picture to the /r/DrakeTheType[13] subreddit of a Halloween costume stock image. Redditor BarfMilkshake captioned the post, "Drake the type of Nyquil nigga to go to sleep wearing this…" inherently referencing the Drake the type of guy trend which the subreddit is dedicated to. Over the course of three years, the post received roughly 1,400 upvotes (shown below). Additionally, the image of the man dressed in the pajamas was taken from the costumes website Costumes Galore,[14] being the product image for "Nighttime Scrooge Costume."
