Google has released its annual Year in Search trends for 2023. Their PR team was kind enough to send me the top trending searches in categories relevant to my interests!

Note that these are not the most searched, but the trending searches that had a high spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2023 as compared to 2022. 

Here they are, with a couple notes from me in the brackets. Note that of the cocktails, only one is new within the last 10 years. 

The mocktails? Oh gurl.
