What does ‘Holiday Share’ mean on TikTok?

The new ‘Holiday Share’ bubble lets you send a video link to friends with a cute holiday card as the cover.

You share the clip via any platform as normal, such as Snapchat, SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger or Instagram.

However, the video’s cover photo will have a cute holiday picture and message around it for the festive season.

TikTok hasnt announced how long the button will be there for, but its likely to stay until the end of December.
