The first-ever TikTok Awards are on the horizon, set to broadcast this Thursday, Dec. 18.

So, what are the TikTok Awards all about? At its core, it’s an occasion to honor TikTok and its creators. As noted by Mashable’s Crystal Bell, the event will present “the chaos and creativity of TikTok brought to life in physical space” featuring “creator-led segments, live performances, and moments crafted for experiencing and instantly sharing, clipping, and stitching.”

Mashable will deliver live updates from the red carpet and within the venue. For viewers at home, tuning in is simple.

How to view the 2025 TikTok Awards:

You can catch the TikTok Awards directly on TikTok. Launch the TikTok app to locate the stream. Alternatively, you may also stream the TikTok Awards for free on Tubi. The red carpet livestream kicks off at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET), with the main event commencing at 6 p.m. PT.

Mashable has the complete list of nominees, with the standout being the Creator of the Year award. I’m placing my bet on Keith Lee, but we’ll need to watch to find out who the winner is.
