New Year’s Plans are trending across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
You use a text overlay such as “What are your plans for 2026?” and then outline what you want to do in the new year.
The content typically focuses on priorities rather than resolutions, including health, finances, relationships, travel, education, and career transitions.
This format is conversational.
You speak directly to viewers and treat the post like an open discussion.
Many creators pair the overlay with everyday clips, walking, journaling, planning on a laptop, or vision-board footage, while listing two to five plans on screen.
Why This Trend Matters Today
The trend matters because it turns goal-setting into a shared conversation rather than a private list.
When you publicly state your plans, you invite comments, accountability, and ideas from your audience.
It also reflects how people prefer planning today, practical, specific, and transparent.
Viewers react more to clear intentions (“save $5,000,” “lift three days a week,” “post daily”) than to vague hopes. That clarity drives saves and replies as people compare their own plans.
How To Do The ‘New Year’s Plans’ Trend
Create a short clip and add a headline-style overlay such as “My plans for 2026” or “What are your plans for 2026?” Then list your key plans in short phrases.
Keep each line readable at a glance and limit the list so it doesn’t feel crowded.
Use simple visuals that align with your goals, such as working out, budgeting, studying, filming, or traveling.
You don’t need a voiceover; the text can carry the message. Invite engagement by ending with a final slide that invites viewers to share their own.
- Pro Tip: Mix one “big” plan with a few small, specific ones. The combination feels ambitious yet realistic, which increases relatability.
