Across Canada, everyone saw creators rise to stardom, while content from big little communities like #BookTok, #AnimalTok and #ScienceTok found a home on the platform.

To commemorate and celebrate your year on TikTok, they’re also launching “Ask on TikTok” – a new Q&A feature encouraging people to look back on their own most memorable moments of 2021 in the app by choosing a prompt question and sharing their creations as answers. People can choose a question like “What was your 2021 highlight?” or “what was your happiest moment of 2021?” and answer it in a new creation or by sharing a previous TikTok video.

TikTok videos transcend cultures and borders to reach For You feeds everywhere. 2021 saw For You feeds filled with trending content across beloved categories including comedy, food and drink, and family videos. Whether the videos make you smile or laugh in unexpected ways, one thing’s for sure: it sparks joy.
