Bella Thorne has officially closed the year 2025, and at the same time, she shared a thoughtful New Year’s message with her fan base. The actress and influencer had a very uncomplicated but cheerful message for 2026 with the same celebratory spirit and her post was attended by each and every one of her followers showering her with warm wishes and a few nostalgic requests too.

Such a long time has passed and just like that, another series of champagne toasts has happened. Bella Thorne was very open about her going to the next year from 2025, and she had a post with the legend ‘Tying a bow on 2025 🎀 cheers to a healthy & happy new year 🥂.’ and was posting to 2026. She recorded her farewell as ‘and with that, the 2025 season comes to an end. Goodnight.’ The clip that accompanied this was just a small portion that showed the actress saying goodbye, ‘And with that, the 2025 season comes to an end. Good night.’ It was a subtle, nearly personal approach to end the year from a person whose professional life has been anything but silent.
Thorne, who initially became known as a little star in Disney Channel’s ‘Shake It Up’, very easily transitioned into a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, author, and social media influencer. For her year-end post, it was less about big reveals and more about a collective sigh—the moment shared, the moment to reflect before jumping into whatever comes next. Perhaps the reaction could not have been any different; the worldwide audience made its presence felt with an avalanche of ‘Happy New Year’ wishes in and from different languages—English, Spanish, and Portuguese, to name a few.
Nonetheless, alongside the congratulations were a couple of remarks that stood out, revealing the exceptional connection Thorne has with the crowd that has been watching her development. One of the examples is an internet user who, with great fervor, urged the return of her Disney past, saying, ‘2026 Shake It Up Reboot Since Selena Gomez Got Her Show Renewed You Haft To Too.’ Thorne’s reply was a simple but mysterious ‘haha,’ yet the persistent one represented the front by stating that they were not joking and revealing they were ‘That Kid That Fell Asleep To Shake It Up On Disney Channel When Nothing Good Wuz On.’ It is a funny and precise count of fandom that indicates how vital those early roles are to a particular generation.
Another user claiming ‘I love Bella Thorne sm’ was another source of an exciting interaction. The reaction Thorne gave to that was not only personal but also very straightforward: ‘I love youuuu.’ Thorne’s digital personality is made up of these tiny interactions that sometimes make it feel like the line between a star and their fan has become very thin. She usually takes this type of loving and frank adoration in a manner that feels more reciprocal than most.
Still, the greater part of the discussion was merely the expressing of holiday spirit. Messages wishing her the best in health, joy, and love poured in for the next year. One very generous comment wished her ‘more blessings ✨, smiles 😄, and love ❤️ this 2026,’ to which Thorne replied with thanks. A different fan made a very positive prediction: ‘I just know the 2026 year will bring you so much love and joy.’ It is a feeling that seems to mirror a collective desire for a new and fresh start, not only for Thorne but as a shared hope.
There was even a very creative offering with one person saying, ‘Bella I drew you on my ig page’—a modern-day fan art submission that went without a public reply but indicates the inspirational role she plays. And of course, there was the obligatory ‘stay metal 🤘’ wish from a follower, which Thorne acknowledged, that was a perfect nod to her well-documented, eclectic personal style and interests.

So am I the only one thinking what a post like this actually communicates? It is not a scandal or a major announcement in the grand scheme of things when it comes to celebrity updates. It is a ritual. For the celebrities like Bella Thorne, such holiday markers become moments of winning together with their audience in retelling the narrative. They are a shared point of checking in. The remarks are not just greetings; they signify a mixture of nostalgia for the place she has been, thrill for the place she is going, and a distant yet sincere sense of brotherhood. Thorne’s short video sign-off—’the 2025 season comes to an end’—is a metaphor for an entire year’s worth of public life as a story with its own ending. And with that act of public recognition, the focus completely transfers to the new performance that is already to the side. The message could not be clearer: no matter what 2025 was, it is gone. Here is to new beginnings, much like her recent adorable adoption post for her cat Frankie. Her work continues as well, with glimpses from a New Orleans film set and a teased helicopter adventure. She also recently shared cozy December moments and family updates for the holidays.
