YouTube is releasing its own version of the popular Spotify Wrapped feature that lets users reflect on the past year.

Google announced in a blog post that its new YouTube Recap feature has begun rolling out in North America. US-based accounts will receive their recaps on Tuesday, Dec. 2, with a global rollout continuing over the next week.

Users can look back on their top channels, interests, and viewing habits from 2025.

"YouTube Recap uniquely highlights interests, deep dives, and moments you explored this year, based on your watch history," product manager Manthra Panchapakesan wrote. "You'll get a set of up to 12 different cards that spotlight your top channels, interests, and even the evolution of your viewing habits, or which personality type you fall into based on the videos you loved to watch!"

Recaps can be found in the "You" tab on the mobile app and desktop website. YouTube said the feature went through nine rounds of feedback and more than 50 concept tests before launch to make recaps feel personal.

Similar to Spotify Wrapped, YouTube Recap assigns each user a "personality type" based on their habits, including Adventurer, Skill Builder, Creative Spirit, Sunshiner, Wonder Seeker, and Connector. YouTube found that Philosopher and Dreamer were among the rarest profiles.

YouTube Music also offers separate recaps like its rivals, such as Amazon, Apple, and Spotify. Users will need to go into the YouTube Music app to see annual reviews for songs, albums, and podcasts.

Here are some of YouTube's most popular creators, topics, and music videos in the US for 2025:
