According to social media, New Year’s resolutions are out and New Year’s bingo cards are in. Across TikTok and Instagram, users are taking a 25-square bingo card and filling each blank with a variety of wellness, fitness, travel, financial, and fun goals. Not only does this method of goal-setting allow you to visualize your hopes for 2025 (should you choose to add images), it also helps add an extra incentive to make your dreams a reality. If you score a bingo by the end of the year, you get to treat yourself. For example, you take yourself out to a nice dinner at your fave local Italian place, get a Chili’s Triple Dipper with your bestie, or even get those Doc Martens you’ve had your eye on. And you deserve it! Plus, you can give yourself a free spot in the middle. That means a square is already checked off, and you’re that much closer to a Chili’s date.
If you’re a true-to-form food lover, there are so many things to add to your 2025 agenda. From wine tasting classes and kitchen gadget upgrades to restaurant road trips and themed dinner parties, these 2025 bingo card ideas are perfect for all of your foodie needs.
