Welcome to Trends Daily—December 31st, 2025. New Year's Eve. The last episode of the year. Tonight we count down. Tomorrow we pretend we're different people.

Year-end "brain rot" recaps (Labubus, AI chaos). NYE outfit reveals (sequins, glitter, bows). "6-7" audio trend (refuses to die). Traditional NYE rituals going viral (12 grapes, colored underwear, burning wishes).
