🎬 Top 10 TikTok Trends You Should Try This Month
If you’re looking to create content that pops on TikTok in 2025, you’ll want to tap into the trends that are already gaining momentum. Below are 10 trends backed by current data and creator behavior — try one (or more) this month and ride the wave.
1. AI-Generated & Animated Characters
This year, creators are using AI tools to turn pets, themselves, or imaginary characters into animated or story-driven personas. These tools enable funny voices, surreal visuals, or narrative mini-series. Tiksnap+2Spreaker+2
Try this: Use an app like CapCut or Runway ML, animate your pet or your alter-ego, add a trending voice-over, and post as a mini-episode.
2. Nostalgia Remixes (Early 2000s & Y2K)
Time-travel via TikTok is big in 2025: creators are bringing back early-2000s styles, music, filters, and aesthetics. Tiksnap+1
Try this: Create a “then vs now” clip: use Y2K filter/music, show your life now vs then, or remix old photos with trending sounds.
3. Silent Reaction Duets
Instead of reacting verbally, creators are using facial expressions, body language and side-eye in duets to convey a powerful point. It’s subtle, yet viral-worthy. Tiksnap
Try this: Pick a trending video, hit “Duet,” keep your audio off, and react visually — the silence makes it punchy.
4. Eco-Glow-Up / Sustainable Lifestyle
TikTok users increasingly show off how they’re living more sustainably — upcycling, zero-waste hacks, eco-friendly swaps. Spreaker+1
Try this: Show a quick before/after of replacing something plastic with sustainable alternative + trending audio or hashtag (#EcoGlowUp).
5. Interactive Live Streams & Polls
Live content that interacts with viewers is rising — polls, challenges, “choose what I’ll do” formats make viewers part of the story. SG Analytics+1
Try this: Go live and let your audience pick your next move: e.g., “Should I try this 2000s makeup or not?” Use live poll stickers to engage.
6. Hyper-Personalization & Micro Communities
TikTok is increasingly showing niche content. Rather than broad trends, “micro-niches” with highly personalized formats are thriving. SG Analytics+1
Try this: Identify a small niche you love (e.g., vintage hobby, one-ingredient recipes) and create content focused there with trending template.
7. Augmented Reality (AR) Effects & Filters
AR effects are giving creators superpowers: virtual pets, exotic filters, interactive elements. This is not just visual flair — it's shareable. SG Analytics+1
Try this: Apply a new AR filter (like the virtual pet or environment), post a short clip with fun caption + trending audio.
8. Audio First: Trendy Sounds & Remixes
TikTok still heavily leans on sound — finding the right audio can boost your reach. The audio might be from TikTok viral, old-school, remix, or AI-generated. Reddit
Try this: Browse the “Trending Sounds” in TikTok, pick one you can lip-sync, skate to, or overlay with a creative twist.
9. Quick “Top 5” / List Based Content
Short list videos (“Top 5 tips”, “3 mistakes I made”, etc.) are performing well because they keep attention and deliver value fast. Reddit
Try this: Make a 20-30 second video: “Top 3 tools I use for productivity at home”, use text overlays + trending audio.
10. Work-From-Home / Remote Life Reality
With remote work now common, content showing the real side — both the wins and chaos — resonates. Show your workspace, weird zoom moments, whatever you live. (See links about remote/future work generally)
Try this: Film a “day in the life working from home” reel, using trending format and audio, maybe show something funny or surprising.
