The “Wreath Witherspoon” joke continues on into the new year.

The trend began when Mindy hung a “Wreath Witherspoon” on the Christmas episode of “The Mindy Project.” Fans got in on the act, creating wreaths of their own to share on social media.

“I was happy that that caught on so much,” Mindy told Access Hollywood‘s Liz Hernandez at the People Magazine Awards on December 18. “That was cool because when we shot that scene, it was a little part of the scene…and Reese Witherspoon’s a good actress. We like her.”

Once Reese got wind of the decor made in her honor, she Instagrammed an adorable Christmas message peeking through the center of a wreath on December 25.
