New Year’s Eve calls for a little sparkle… and a LOT of reflection. Welcome to The 2025 Glow Awards: A Year in Review, where we hand out totally unofficial awards for the moments, people, and chaos that made this year unforgettable.

From the “Top Tier Distraction” Award to the “Hype Man/Woman of the Year,” we’re celebrating the wins, the lessons, the laughs, and the plot twists… all the way to the one that hits the heart: the “Core Memory” Award.

Grab your drink of choice, get comfy, and come glow with us as we close out the year together.

Tell us in the comments: what would YOU nominate for “Core Memory” of the year?
