The Best TikTok Food Trends Of 2025 That Are Actually Worth Trying
HuffPost
We asked the experts to cut through all the noise and highlight what's actually worth seeing (and eating).
TikTok remains one of the most relevant places to find out about new food trends, but in terms of viral dishes and techniques, 2025 was a pretty quiet year. A lot of big trends from past years — like Dubai chocolate, cottage cheese ice cream and, of course, “girl dinner” — just kept showing up on the platform, while new ideas had a tougher time cutting through the noise.
But that said, a handful of exciting and resilient food themes were able to make an impression on the folks who know the TikTok world the best: content creators themselves. We asked TikTokers and Instagrammers to name their favorite TikTok food trends of 2025, and these five items topped their best-of lists.
Kebabs
Kebabs, particularly Turkish-inspired doner kebabs made with meat slow roasted on a vertical spit, had a big year on TikTok, with many content creators posting tutorials and kebab stand recommendations. J.J. Virgin, a wellness expert and New York Times bestselling author with over 240,000 Instagram followers, believes that kebabs captured the imaginations of TikTok users because they’re “high in protein, easy to create and cook, [and] portable and snackable for a party. [They’re] healthy and delicious.”
Abby Cheshire, a private yacht chef and the creator of @AbbyInTheGalley (over 1.5 million TikTok followers), highlighted the helpfulness of TikToks that show users how to make kebabs with doner flavor and texture but without the need for “a rotating spit — something most home kitchens definitely don’t have.” Cheshire applauded the following doner kebab shortcut posted all over TikTok in 2025: “Season ground beef, spread it on parchment paper, roll it up and bake it to get that same flavor and texture as a traditional doner kebab. It’s simple, clever, delicious, and makes a normally restaurant-only dish totally achievable at home.”
