Every year, Google releases a Year in Search video that acts as a cultural time capsule, distilling the most compelling and widely-searched topics from around the world into a short, cinematic montage.
Rather than just listing data, these videos weave trending search terms and spikes in curiosity into a narrative that reflects global moments, from viral crazes and sports highlights to breakthroughs in science and community resilience.
In the 2025 edition, the video captures everything from the rise of “KPop Demon Hunters” and the Labubu craze to significant sporting achievements and reactions to natural disasters, underscoring both light-hearted and serious moments that shaped people’s online queries this year.
