TL;DR
- Google has released its Year in Search 2025 video, turning the trending searches from last week’s lists into a fast, stylized montage.
- KPop Demon Hunters, the Labubu craze, Luka trade rumors, Alcaraz vs. Sinner, Charlie Kirk, and scenes of communities rebuilding all feature.
- The film also pulls in global moments like major cricket matches and a reference to the first American pope.
Google already shared the top trending searches of 2025 last week, but now it has released the video version. The fast and chaotic montage pulls together many of the moments people kept asking about this year to summarize the last 12 months and add a touch of nostalgia. You can watch it above.
The film has its own angle, built around a “reimagining” concept that pops up a few times, mixed with some big soundtrack choices. It starts with Ozzy Osbourne’s Crazy Train, swings into Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra, and eventually settles into Golden, performed by various artists. It ends up feeling a bit like Spotify Wrapped or YouTube Recap, just with more real-world news footage and less personalization.
