THE TOP 10 NEW YEAR’S HASHTAGS FOR INSTAGRAM IN 2025

Before you use some of the top 10 most popular New Year’s hashtags on Instagram for 2025let me tell you something you probably have been turning a blind eye to…

Instagram is not helping your business

  • Instagram is a “money extraction” machine. Their business model is to make money from you.
  • The Instagram algorithm has been deliberately designed to lower your organic reach so you have to pay for ads to reach your followers. That’s why only 5% of your followers may see your posts (If you are lucky!)
  • You keep trying to build an audience on Instagram you will never own. 
  • You cannot transfer your hard-earned Instagram followers to your best CRM software.
  • Your customer acquisition costs from Instagram ads are through the roof.

Professional marketers around the world are solving the key challenge during the #newyears season:

How is my brand going to bring optimistic emotions to customers during the New Year’s period? 

Being authentic to your brand values is important so your brand is just not creating more noise in the already polluted “tsunami” of marketing messages during New Year’s celebrations.

Being successful with your marketing is not only about sharing the best New Year’s quotes but reflecting with your team on how you want to help your customers and communities during the new coming year.

✪ Expert tip: Add popular New Year hashtags to your Instagram Stories to increase your chances of being displayed on the Instagram Explore page using the hashtag sticker (you can only add one hashtag) or use the text tool (you can add up to 10 hashtags), you can even hide them by placing a sticker on top of them or use the colour tool to make the hashtags invisible but still findable” Mau
