Festive Christmas “POV” Videos Are Giving TikTokers A Satisfying Feel For The Holiday Spirit

Let’s face it: if you have TikTok, then you definitely have at least one form of “guilty pleasure” video. And before your mind gets stuck in the gutter, no, I am not talking about anything inappropriate.

Rather, I mean those videos that, for whatever reason, are super satisfying and itch your brain in just the right way.

For some people, that’s the tingling sensation they get after watching ASMR. For others, it’s the feeling of accomplishment after watching people organize their home goods.

With Christmas right around the corner, though, yet another trend has fascinated TikTokers looking to get into the holiday spirit: “POV” videos.

Creators have been filming “POV” videos, also known as point of view, that are literally shot from the perspective of the creators themselves– making viewers feel like they are really there and participating in the activities.

And in the holiday-themed vlogs, the TikTokers are obviously engaging in typical, joy-inspiring seasonal activities.

One young woman named Izzy has recently taken the cake on this trend with her last five Christmas POV vlogs– which have gained over 16.8 million views and nearly 3 million likes collectively on her TikTok account @Vlogswizzy.

Her most popular video by far, though, was a POV TikTok in which viewers got to feel like they were having a Christmas sleepover with their best friend.

Izzy set the music to the totally appropriate tune “Winter Wonderland” by Michael Buble before launching into some nostalgic Christmas Eve activities. First, she cracked open her fridge, busted out the classic Pillsbury Christmas Tree cookie dough, and whipped up some delicious treats.

Then, she grabbed two adorable mugs– one in the shape of a gingerbread man and another that resembled Santa Claus– before making some Swiss Miss hot chocolate. What a childhood staple.

Finally, once the cookies were done, she plated the sweets, popped some popcorn, and plopped down on the couch to enjoy a Christmas movie.

Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to spend a holiday evening with a friend? The TikTok community thought so, too, since this video gained 2.6 million likes alone.

Plus, it spurred over ninety-one thousand comments from people around the globe who enjoyed feeling like they were getting into the Christmas spirit without really having to do anything themselves.

“This makes me so happy,” one user commented, followed by the crying emoji.

“Nostalgic,” said another user.

“I NEED TO DO THIS WITH MY BESTIE, UGH!” wrote a third, envious user.

Other POV videos that Izzy has posted since then include getting ready for a Christmas movie night, baking Christmas treats with your bestie, and unboxing an early Christmas gift.

These videos just go to show that, like movies and television shows, content posted on social media platforms can really transport viewers to happy places and give them a boost of serotonin.

Plus, for those who cannot participate in the same Christmas activities, TikTokers like Izzy are helping spread the holiday spirit in an imaginative way.
