Mother’s Day 2025 is going viral in all the right (and weirdest) ways. From AI-generated love letters to TikTok’s new wave of mom-humor, here’s how the internet is celebrating — and redefining — motherhood.
If You Cried Today, It Was Probably TikTok’s Fault
Mother’s Day has always been about flowers, brunch, and last-minute cards from Walgreens. But in 2025? It’s gone emotional viral.
AI tools are generating tribute videos that hit harder than Pixar montages. Teens are posting “funny mom moments” that somehow make you sob. And Instagram is flooded with carousel posts titled “She Carried More Than Just Me.”
The AI Letters That Broke the Internet
One of this year’s most unexpected Mother’s Day trends: AI-written thank you letters.
Tools like PoemPortrait AI and Notion’s AI Writer are being used to craft emotional tributes in under 30 seconds.
“You always folded the towels the wrong way, and I never fixed them. Because it was your version of love.”
People are screenshotting these and sharing them with captions like “Okay but why am I actually crying??”
TikTok: Where Moms Become Main Characters
TikTok is the emotional + comedic HQ this year.
Trending sounds include:
- 🎵 “Mamma Said” by Lukas Graham
- 🧼 “The sound of my mom cleaning angrily” (actual vacuum sounds, 3M videos)
- 🛒 “Things my immigrant mom says at the grocery store” — the most relatable series on the app

The Rise of Chosen Moms
Instagram is full of posts honoring chosen family: godmothers, aunties, grandmas, mentors, and house moms. One viral Reel says it all: “I didn’t get the mom I needed — so I found her in a million places.”
Meme Wars: Honoring Mom with Humor
This year’s memes walk the line between comedy and therapy:
- “Thanks for being my unpaid therapist since 2003”
- “Mom: I love you. Me: I have attachment issues now, but okay.”
- “Your Childhood Home: $0/Night, Emotional Baggage Included”
IRL Still Slaps
Despite the digital vibes, analog is still thriving. UrbanStems sold out before May 8. Bakeries offered “Mom’s Favorite” boxes. And breakfast in bed now comes with a ring light.
What This Day Really Says in 2025
Mother’s Day 2025 isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. It’s messy, meme-y, AI-generated, and deeply human.
