Looking for a cute and funny challenge to warm your heart? The recent “Cuddle your Toddler Challenge” is one that you can check out because of the adorable and genuine reactions.
TikTok Cuddle Your Toddler Challenge
Following the hashtag #CuddleChallenge, the challenge features parents sneaking up on their kids while the little ones are watching their favourite tv shows and cuddle up to them or lying their head in their kid’s lap to see how they react.
The majority of the videos use James Blake’s cover of Frank Ocean’s “Godspeed,” as the background music for the video.

The TikTok trend has since gained 4.1 Million Views and its easy to understand why when looking at the sweet and innocent reactions.
There were immediate smiles flashed by some the toddlers who simply continue watching the show in contentment, as well some looks of confusion at the start. Some kids even stroked their parent’s hair and some kids abandoned the TV show altogether to start a full-on cuddle session.
