These awesome families on TikTok are guaranteed to brighten your day and even provide some life lessons.
TikTok during the pandemic has evolved from a platform for teens and young millennials to showcase their dancing talent to one that features their parents and family members sharing funny — and sometimes touching — life moments.
As moms, dads, kids and even the family dog have gotten in on the action, #family has surpassed the 80 billion views mark. With the summer break coming, TikTok families everywhere will undoubtedly amp up their activity even more.
While my teen has roped me into a dance challenge or two, I prefer to leave it to others to supply the instant laughs and entertainment. From a comical father-daughter duo who loves car karaoke to a family of six singing superstars, I've rounded up some of the best TikTok families to follow right now. So keep scrolling down to find out who made the list.

Kim and Penn Holderness and their kids from North Carolina shot to fame on social media thanks to their #Xmas Jammies video that has more than 15 million views. The Holderness Family now creates hilarious video spoofs and singing parodies about every aspect of parenting you can imagine. Not only will each 15-second clip make you laugh your head off, they also show that we're all in the same boat when it comes to parenting.
2. The Kabs Family
The Kabs Family is a British TikTok family with an impressive 1.4 million followers. Their popular videos offer a mix of comedy sketches, challenges and my favorite — car karaoke.
