Your Top Ten Favorite Viral Instagram Reels in 2025

Today is one of my favorite top ten lists, and since I was so intentional this year about creating reels, I’m sharing your Top Ten Favorite Viral Instagram Reels.

This year, I looked back at your reactions- the reels you watched, saved, and shared, and the projects that sparked your own creativity. I thought it would be lovely to gather the top ten most-loved moments from the year and feature them once again. These aren’t just my favorites … they’re yours too. Let’s revisit them together.

The Joy of Creating Content

Bright kitchen with white cabinets and drawers, marble countertop, kitchen tools in a container, spice jars, and an open door revealing greenery outside—perfect for exploring fresh table setting ideas.

I never imagined that the quiet moments I shared here, clips of creating crafts, holiday baking, or even rearranging a room, would resonate with so many of you.

What started as daily blog posts and little behind-the-scenes snippets turned into videos that travelled far beyond this old home’s walls. Some of them went viral, and the messages I received still feel like handwritten notes tucked into a vintage drawer, thoughtful, encouraging, and full of your own stories.

Why I Love Creating New Content

A large house with string lights in the backyard, decorated for an outdoor dinner party, features elegant table setting ideas on long tables near a pool at dusk.

You wrote to me about posts that reminded you of your childhood home, a simple DIY that encouraged you to try something new, or a reel that made you smile.

Creating new content keeps me inspired as it pushes me to keep experimenting, to share what I’m learning, and to invite you along the way. So as we close out the year, I thought we could revisit the top ten viral videos I made this year… the moments you saved, shared, and came back to again and again.

Let’s enjoy them together, one more time.
