Food Frenzies

A scroll through TikTok will provide your family with meal ideas that are far from the ordinary. Whether it’s a menu hack like ordering the Christmas Cookie Frappucino, trying out a new menu item like the maple sriracha wings, or an at-home treat like the Snowflake Nutella Twist, you and your mini foodies are in for some great food journeys.

Use these yummy hashtags to get cooking:
#secretmenu, #foodtok, #foodie #secretmenu. #menuhack, #foodtiktok



Challenge Accepted

Craving some interactive time with your family? A TikTok challenge is a great way to get your crew engaged and participating. Get competitive with friendly battles like flip tic-tac-toe, a flour challenge, or a family trivia night. Or get silly with non-stop laughing activities like the tortilla challenge. If new experiences are more of the challenge you and your brood are seeking, create your own personalized note card challenge. Hanging out with extended family over the holidays? Ask Grandma or Grandpa to play the marshmallow game

We double-dog-dare you to use these terms while searching for some fantastic family fun:
#familychallenge, #tiktokchallenge, #challenge

Get silly with the tortilla challenge.

Time to Trend

Use current viral explosions to your benefit by staying current on what’s trending, or by letting your kids pick a trend to try out as a group. The time you spend practicing your execution for videos like squirrels in the pants or the light-dark trend dance are great opportunities to bond with your family. If a dance trend isn’t your thing, look for popular activities like color picnics that will keep your spot as the cool mama intact.

To find what’s trending now, look for phrases like:
#viral #trend #trending

Filter Fun

Short on time to plan something exciting to try out? No problem. TikTok offers filter selections that allow you to spontaneously enjoy time with your family without much energy or thought. Prank a member in the house with classics like the spider filter or sad face. You can also find filter games like ‘Find Disney’ to test out your trivia knowledge. In a festive mood? Add some seasonal flair to your pets with the reindeer pets, put a Christmas overlay on any scene, or get a little Grinch-y

To get started, use keywords like:
#filters, #interactivefilter, and #filtergame
