With most of our holiday get-togethers happening online this year, many of us will be sharing snippets of our celebrations on our social accounts. While this is a great way to induldge in shared virtual experiences with our loved ones, and to preserve memories of this extraordinary Christmas, we should always keep online safety in mind whenever we create content, share, and comment. 

On TikTok, Community Guidelines remain in place to protect users against hateful behavior, graphic content, bullying, and other issues. However, as members of the online community, we should also each do our part to TikTok responsibly, and only spread good vibes and Christmas cheer on the app, not just over the holidays, but every day of the year.
