Today TikTok unveils Year on TikTok 2023, its annual year-end report that celebrates its global community as they scroll back to the most memorable trends, creators and moments that made 2023 in Sri Lanka and the rest of the world.
2023 was the year the we learned a new life hack (or two!), laughed out loud – and couldn’t stop thinking about the Roman Empire. Throughout this year, TikTok’s global community of over 1 billion people continued to come together on the platform to connect and positively influence culture and impact lives.
From foolproof recipes to funny skits, throwback tracks and thriving small businesses, the TikTok community continued creating, connecting and celebrating authenticity on TikTok throughout 2023. Across Sri Lanka, the community was captivated by culinary delicacies, beautification tips and comedic sketches. These trends, along with other local favorites, are showcased in videos like Wild Cookbook’s perfect masala chicken curry recipe and Hesara Yagi’s funny skit about turning daily life moments into comedy gold.
“Year on TikTok 2023 is a way for us to honor some of the standout moments that have happened on TikTok throughout the year. It’s a window into stories that have inspired, entertained and educated over 1 billion people around the world. Thank you for another year of bringing joy to our community and sharing your creativity with us,” said Adam Presser, Head of Operations, TikTok.
Pooja Dutta, Operations Lead for South Asia, said, “As we reminisce about TikTok’s remarkable journey in Sri Lanka for 2023, we are excited to witness the dynamic fusion of creativity and culture that has blossomed on our platform. From culinary delicacies to hilarious comedy skits,’ the Sri Lankan community has demonstrated an exceptional ability to unite through vibrant content.
