TikTok continues to deliver a vast amount of new trends that range from hilarious to heartfelt, and these past few weeks have been no exception. To keep your content engaging, now is the perfect time to jump on these three viral trends. Especially now as businesses enter the last quarter of the year, it is essential to capitalize on these online trends to continue to gather leads and conversions from everyone’s online footprint. From unusual crushes to deep personal growth moments, check out these three viral trends to use online this week. 

The Hear Me Out Cake:

This trend takes celebrity crushes to a whole new level. People use cutouts of their crushes (either human or cartoon) and stick them onto the cake one by one. The idea is that the more heinous the crush, the more you say “wait but hear me out.”  Check out how this office made their Hear Me Out Cake (and can someone do a study on why there are so many blue characters?!)

Want to recreate this in your office? Grab a cake, print out your “hear me outs,” and start recording. Who knows, you might even find a whole community of Alvin And The Chipmunk lovers, and your crush won’t turn out so weird after all. 

Suddenly The Words Came Out of my Mouth:

This trend is all about reflecting on personal growth (or you can be sarcastic if you don’t want to get that serious online). Users use this format to highlight how much they’ve changed over time, finishing with a statement their past self would never have said. You can make it in video or carousel format.

Everyone has experienced change, making this the perfect trend for businesses and people to share their journeys of self-discovery and hopefully influence all who encounter it. 

Mama A Girl Behind You:

This trend began when a young girl confused her mother’s Snapchat Bitmoji (read as: avatar) filter for an actual girl standing behind her while taking a picture. Here’s the original video for a visual. Here’s a millennial-explanation of the video. The mix-up sparked a wave of reactions across TikTok, from funny to spooky ones!  This trend is perfect for the upcoming Halloween season! Your Gen Z audience will appreciate the reference to a video that’s been circulating their for you page for a few weeks now.
