TikTok has shared a look back at 2022 and highlighted some of the most popular videos created by Canadians — and it's truly a random and heartwarming mix of content.

"Across Canada, we saw creators rise to stardom, while content from big little communities like #IndigenousTok, #BookTok and #TransTok found a home on the platform," said the release from the social media platform on December 6.

In terms of high performers, here are five of the Canadian videos that "made up some of this year's most memorable moments."

"Mirror. Selfie. Dancing."

In this video from @jamie32bsh, which has over 50 million likes, the camera pans from a bathroom counter to the TikToker filming himself dancing in a mirror while mouthing along to the words of Nelly Furtado's hit "Say It Right."
