Seafood boils
Seafood boils have exploded across TikTok, where the hashtag #seafoodboil has inspired over 250,000 videos and counting.

The trend gained serious momentum in 2024 and shows no signs of slowing down. Inspired by Cajun traditions with French roots, this dish has found a global audience online. Just remember, not every food trend is for everyone—always double-check ingredients if you have allergies or dietary restrictions.
Air fryer s’mores
The air fryer has become a kitchen superstar on TikTok, with thousands of videos under the #airfryer hashtag—and now, it’s giving s’mores a modern makeover. This viral twist on the classic American treat skips the campfire and instead melts marshmallows and chocolate in the air fryer for a gooey, scoopable dessert. In the UK, plain digestives are often used instead of Graham Crackers, but the result is just as delicious. It’s quick, easy, and seriously addictive.
Kale
Millennials love kale and use it to make so many different dishes. Sauteed kale, kale chips, and kale salads are all so great! That is why we know that every generation will also go crazy for this healthy food. Kale is a newer green to the veggie scene, which is why the older generations may be wary of it at first.
