The festive season is here, and nothing is quite synonymous with this time of the year other than family and delicious food.
As we start with the festive preparations and mouth-watering feasts, some inspiration will come in handy – and what better place to go to than the entertainment platform, TikTok, where food trends begin and go viral online.
Going on the platform, the main food hashtag #FoodTok currently sits at over 11 billion global views – giving all certified foodies and novice cooks a great variation of cooking hacks and fun recipes to drool over. In Africa, #DecemberTreats has garnered over 3.4 million views, proving that food content is growing on the platform.
This has changed the narrative in Kenya as well, where local TikTok creators are on top of the game – making it easy for locals to recreate meals through several hashtags including #kenyanfood and #foodieske.
This December, the TikTok Community can look forward to celebrating food, friends & family with the #DecemberTreats hashtag. Local creator aq9ine will be hosting a LIVE on 22 December at 11:00 (EAT) making tasty dishes in under 30 minutes.
