Social media personality and food critic Keith Lee took home the highest honor of the 2025 TikTok Awards after he was named Creator of the Year at the inaugural ceremony.

Lee, a popular food reviewer who highlights small businesses, was visibly choked up in his acceptance speech after being handed the award by presenter Paris Hilton.

"When people say they didn’t think they were going to win, that’s not an understatement," Lee said. "I never in a million years thought I would be standing on this stage."

The former MMA fighter spoke about TikTok changing his life — imbuing him with a confidence he previously didn't possess.

"I couldn’t talk. I couldn't be in rooms with people. I doubted myself. I still doubt myself to this day," Lee said. "TikTok allows people to spotlight the underdog."

The TikTok award show showcased a diverse range of creators, including beauty influencers, musicians, and more. You can check out all the details on Mashable's live blog of the event. We also have a list of all the winners, including Lee.

Who is Keith Lee?

Lee is perhaps the preeminent food reviewer online. His influence in that world earned him a spot on Mashable's list of the 101 most influential creators of 2025. In our profile, we wrote that he "has the power to single-handedly save a business with a positive food review — and he's done it."

With over 17 million followers on TikTok, Lee's reach is massive.

Lee became known for a trademark delivery style, which is a mix of deadpan and staccato. It's instantly recognizable when Lee delivers his catchphrase, "I got it, let’s try it, and rate it 1-10." His brother, Kevin Lee, a professional MMA fighter, occasionally appears in his videos.

Lee also clearly cares about food and the people who make it. He's made it a point to highlight the places that maybe get overlooked. As a part of the award, TikTok announced it would donate $50,000 to Feeding America in Lee's honor, which feels like a fitting tribute.

The first-ever U.S. TikTok Awards are happening right now in Los Angeles, but the pink carpet has already provided plenty of entertainment.

A vast array of creators, from Tefi Pessoa to Markell Washington to Trixie Mattel, strutted down a pink carpet at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday night. It's all part of the TikTok Awards, which will honor the site's top creators.

Check out Mashable's live blog on the awards, find out how to watch, and peruse some of the amazing looks below.

Smartphone speakers have come a long way, but they’ll never sound as good as a proper speaker in a decent-sized housing. But what if you didn’t have to choose between sound quality and portability?

Job insecurity often leads to real shifts in behavior and performance: People go quiet, take fewer risks, and disengage. As a leader, you can’t always eliminate fear, but you can reduce its impact by showing up with clarity and care. Here’s how to respond without overpromising or avoiding hard truths. Acknowledge the fear. Start by acknowledging your own emotions to ground yourself. […]

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

In the U.S., the New Moon occurs tonight, Dec. 19, when the Moon is nearly invisible in the night sky, ending the waning crescent phase and beginning a new lunar cycle. However, in other parts of the world, depending on time zone, the New Moon may fall on Dec. 20.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Friday, Dec. 19, the moon phase is New Moon (if you're in the U.S). This means 0% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Jan. 3. The last full moon was on Dec. 4.

What are moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete one full cycle. During this time, it passes through a series of phases as it orbits Earth. Although the same side of the Moon always faces us, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface changes, which is why it can appear fully illuminated, partly lit, or completely invisible at different points in the cycle. This process is divided into eight main lunar phases:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Welcome to the internet's biggest night — or at least, its strangest one yet. The 2025 TikTok Awards took the platform’s endlessly scrolling For You Page and attempted to turn it into a live, IRL spectacle, with mixed and often surreal results.

As the first-ever U.S. TikTok Awards, the night brought together the creators, artists, memes, and viral moments that defined the past year online, pulling them out of our phones and onto one Hollywood stage. Mashable was on the ground throughout the evening, covering the red carpet, the show, and everything that didn't quite go according to plan (like all of the broken screens on stage).

SEE ALSO: TikTok signs deal to sell its U.S. operations after years of uncertainty

Streaming live on TikTok and Tubi, the ceremony felt less like a traditional awards show and more like a feed brought to life — complete with awkward pauses, technical mishaps, and moments of chaos that underscored just how difficult it is to translate internet culture into a live broadcast. Screens malfunctioned. Start times slipped. The vibe shifted repeatedly.

Still, the night delivered flashes of what TikTok does best. Ciara’s high-energy performance and TikTok choreo reset the room. Emotional speeches from winners like Keith Lee, who took home the Creator of the Year award, reminded the audience why these creators matter. And moments like Labubu cannons firing plushies into the crowd felt absurd in a way only TikTok could justify.

By the end of the night, the awards felt messy, confusing, and strangely heartfelt — which is to say, very much in line with the online experience. Mashable tracked the winners, standout looks, and must-see moments that are already cycling back onto your feed.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you live in La La Land.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

The 2025 TikTok Awards are getting under way Thursday night. The social platform is set to honor its biggest creators for the time in the U.S.

Don't worry: Mashable is covering everything you need to know. We've got staff inside the venue, and we're updating our live blog with all the latest details all night long. We're also looking at the fashion and fun moments as the night plays out.

If you want to tune in yourself, however, it's really easy.

How to watch the 2025 TikTok Awards live

The awards will, of course, stream live on TikTok, over on its own page. You can also tune in for free on Tubi.

You can expect to see some of your favorite creators as well as a performance from Ciara. But you'll have to watch to see all the surprises.

The TikTok creator you might know as The Lorax did not rock her usual, bright orange get-up at the TikTok Awards on Thursday. Instead, Ashby — aka @_ashbyflorence_ — wore a red, sequin dress that playfully read "I

To be honest, people do love Ashby — she's been a favorite here at Mashable ever since she broke onto the scene this year. She's even presenting the Live Creator of the Year award on Thursday.

While dictionaries have chosen slop or 6-7 these days, Ashby told Mashable on the red carpet that her word of the year was "conundrum." And, in case you were wondering about her viral meet-up with Lin-Manuel Miranda....well she can't remember much beyond the fact that he smelled amazing. Good for Lin!

Christmas is the most stressful time of year. When you’re planning your festivities or buying your mountain of presents, the last thing you need is to fall prey to a phishing email or online scam. Whether it be the illusion of a good deal or a message from a relative, scammers and hackers prey on your more absent-minded moments to strike gold.

The problem with falling for one of these online scams is that you can’t easily remove this lump of coal from your stocking. Once a scammer has hold of your personal information, it’s not as easy as you’d think to get it back. Thankfully, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. We at PCMag have some tricks up our sleeves to help you avoid any holiday scams that come your way.

How to spot a scam

Scams are the chameleon of the online world. They come in many forms, such as texts from family or friends, or links and attachments from businesses and government organisations. Though you might think your eagle eye can tell a legitimate email from a fake, you may not have the tools you need to spot them right away. Before you click on something you don’t fully trust, here are a couple of things to look out for:

• Suspicious links or attachments: Scammers love a good ruse, and the best way to gain access to someone's personal data is often through deceptive links that trick victims into giving up their information. These attacks often feature strange URLs with hidden add-ons you wouldn’t be familiar with. When sent an email with an attachment you’re unsure about, the safest policy is to never click.

• Unrecognisable email address or website: Have you received a message or text from a name or number you don’t immediately recognise? The chances are high you’re about to be scammed. These messages may promise an unmissable opportunity or deal in exchange for your personal information.

• Requests for personal details (such a bank or PayID): The promise of money is a classic manipulation tactic for scammers. They’ll try to entice you into giving up your BSB or bank details in exchange for ‘free money’ or ‘surprise winnings’. When receiving these kinds of messages or emails, it is a safe bet they’re a scam. Nothing ever comes that easy.

• Threatening or urgent wording: Nothing motivates better than fear. When scammers are attempting to get their way, they may resort to aggressive language or explicit threats to get their point across. If you’re facing threats of account closure, fines, or legal action (from MyGov, your bank, or the taxation office) in exchange for clicking unverified links, you know you have a scam on your hands.

How to prevent a scam

Preventing scams and hacks before they happen is the best form of online protection. This can be through setting up anti-virus software to spot and block malware or Trojan’s before they take hold or through using AI-powered assistants to run suspicious emails and links through before clicking. If you need extra protection to keep your devices safe, Bitdefender has suite of security products and services to keep you covered.

• Bitdefender Total Security: Staying on top of your cybersecurity should be number one on your priority list. Bitdefender Total Security will keep you completely protected with real-time data defense and regular insights into your device’s defences. It will even alert you to any vulnerabilities located across Windows, masOS, IOS and Android, ensuring they are patched up before any lurker is the wiser.

• Bitdefender Premium Security: If you fear hidden spyware setting up shop on your devices, Bitdefender Premium Security will ease your mind. With an unlimited VPN and AI-powered protection (including Anti-Tracker, Microphone Monitor, and Webcam Protection), you can rest easy knowing nobody will be watching your online activity.

• Bitdefender Ultimate Security: As the top-of-the-line option for all-around digital protection, Bitdefender Ultimate Security features some of the strongest malware defence you can find. With built-in Fraud Protection, a powerful privacy firewall, and dark web monitoring, your online identity will be under tight lock and key.

• Bitdefender Scamio: Has a potential scam hit your inbox? Instead of ignoring it and hoping it disappears, Bitdefender Scamio will verify its legitimacy for you. Simply send any suspicious messages, links, emails or QR codes to this AI-powered scam detector, and you’ll know if you’re dealing with a dangerous security threat.

Stay safe this holiday season

As the holiday season intensifies, your online security needs may be the last thing on your mind. But before you fall prey to any ‘one-of-a-kind deals’ or messages from long lost family members asking for holiday money, Bitdefender has everything you need to secure your online data.

Prime Video is already telling 2025 not to let the door hit it on the way out, today announcing its lineup of movies and new TV series for January 2026. And with more than 60 new movies, new seasons of returning favorites, and some fresh new series in store, it's looking like the new year will be off to a good start.

After years of ban threats, deadline extensions, and geopolitical brinkmanship, TikTok’s long-running U.S. saga may finally be nearing its end. TikTok has signed an agreement to divest its U.S. operations to a joint venture controlled by American investors, according to an internal memo first reported by Axios and later confirmed by CNN on Dec. 18.

The deal, reportedly outlined in a memo sent to employees by TikTok CEO Shou Chew, is expected to close on Jan. 22 and represents a major step toward resolving a years-long standoff over the app's ownership and national security concerns. While the transaction is not yet finalized, it would bring TikTok closer to complying with a U.S. law requiring its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app's American business or face a ban from U.S. app stores.

SEE ALSO: Every potential TikTok buyer we know about

Under the agreement, the U.S. entity — to be called "TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC" — will be jointly owned by a group of American investors and ByteDance. Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX will collectively hold a 45 percent stake in the company. Affiliates of existing ByteDance investors will own nearly one-third, while ByteDance itself will retain just under 20 percent.

Mashable will be live on the ground covering the first U.S. TikTok Awards tonight, so stay locked to mashable.com and our socials for the awards livestream and updates, starting at 8 p.m. EST.

According to the memo, as reported by Axios, the newly formed joint venture will take over responsibility for U.S. data protection, algorithm security, content moderation, and software assurance. The memo also says TikTok’s content recommendation algorithm will be retrained using U.S. user data, a step intended to ensure the platform’s feed is "free from outside manipulation."

The most recent extension pushes the effective deadline to Jan. 23, giving TikTok additional time to complete the divestiture. Trump said in a September executive order that a plan had been presented to him for a "qualified divestiture" of TikTok’s U.S. operations, justifying another 120-day delay.

Negotiations over a sale have been marked by uncertainty and geopolitical tension, with the Chinese government expressing opposition to a forced divestment and signaling it could block a deal. Still, Axios reported that the White House and Chinese officials reached a deal in principle in September for a U.S.-controlled joint venture led by investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Silver Lake, and Oracle.

The move would end a saga that began in 2020, when Trump first issued an executive order seeking to force ByteDance to sell TikTok’s U.S. business over national security concerns.

The first-ever TikTok Awards are almost here. They're set to air this Thursday, Dec. 18.

So...what are the TikTok Awards? Well, they're kind of exactly what they sound like — an event to honor TikTok and its creators.

Mashable's Crystal Bell has all the details, but, as she wrote, you can expect "the chaos and creativity of TikTok brought to life in physical space" with "creator-led segments, live performances, and moments designed to be experienced and immediately shared, clipped, and stitched."

How to watch the 2025 TikTok Awards

It's been a dozen years since Now You See Me hit theaters and nearly a decade since the sequel. In other words, with the release of the third film, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, it's a good time to revisit the originals and queue up a marathon. Or, maybe even watch them all for the first time.

The films feature a star-studded cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco as the Four Horsemen, Morgan Freeman as master magician Thaddeus Bradley, Mark Ruffalo as FBI agent Dylan Rhodes, and more. The whole gang returns in Now You See Me 3, plus some newbies join the mix. So it's essential to get caught up with the characters and lore of the films before diving into the newest film.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Now You See Me, Now You See Me 2, and Now You See Me: Now You Don't.

How many Now You See Me movies are there?

The fall release of Now You See Me: Now You Don't marks the third film in the Four Horsemen trilogy. The first film, Now You See Me, arrived in 2013 as a surprise hit. It grossed over $350 million at the worldwide box office. The sequel, Now You See Me 2, hit theaters in 2016 and brought in over $334 million.

When does Now You See Me: Now You Don't come out?

The third film in the Now You See Me franchise arrived in theaters on Nov. 14, 2025. That's nearly 12.5 years to the day since the original film made its mark at the box office. In a time when cinema is struggling, Now You See Me: Now You Don't has still been largely successful at the box office. It didn't quite live up to its predecessors, but still raked in $213.6 million worldwide so far on a $90 million budget. It's still in select theaters and is now officially available to watch at home as of Dec. 16, 2025 (more on that below).

Check out the official trailer below:

Are the Now You See Me movies streaming anywhere?

Both Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 were streaming on Netflix this fall, but left the streamer as of Sept. 30. At the time of writing, none of the major streaming services have the films in their libraries — a huge bummer. However, we did spot both the first two films on MovieSphere+, a Prime Video add-on service that costs $4.99 per month. You'll also get a free seven-day trial, which means you can watch both movies for free. The only catch? You must be a Prime Video subscriber or Prime member to get the add-on.

As for the third installment, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, we're still waiting on an announcement for its official streaming date. As a Lionsgate film, we expect that it will make its streaming debut on Starz. Based on the streaming trajectory of previous Lionsgate films, we expect a March 2026 streaming date. We'll update this if and when Lionsgate announces new streaming information.

It's worth mentioning that Starz is running a holiday deal where you can get an entire year of streaming for just $11.99. If you secure that deal now, you'll have access to Now You See Me: Now You Don't when it arrives on Starz, as well as future theatrical releases like The Housemaid and The Long Walk. Once the promotion ends, the price will jump back to $69.99 per year unless you cancel. There's no end date listed, but since it's branded as a holiday deal, we expect it to disappear in early 2026.

Firefox is addressing recent community concerns about AI integration by confirming it will include the option to completely disable all AI features within the browser. The team has been calling this functionality the "AI kill switch" internally, which is what I hope it ends up being called.

This is it. The last hurrah, the final curtain, the end game of 2025. And as Netflix looks forward to 2026, it's also already shelled out its list of movies and TV shows that are leaving the world's biggest streaming service in the U.S. next month.
