November’s viral video charts have a distinctly festive — and feline — flavour. Three new AI video trends went live on Monday, November 2: the Mabel Matiz “Umrumdışı” piano cats, Leo Cheers, and the Christmas Lights Car, according to a tracker of AI video trends updated daily.
The piano cats trend began on October 31 on Instagram, where @milkavesimba’s AI cats sing Mabel Matiz’s “Umrumdışı” at a piano, reaching 125,600 likes by November 2 and around 3.7 million views. The song’s classroom cover had already gone viral in Turkey from September 26, giving the AI version a ready-made audience who knew the tune before the cats sat down at the keys.
From cats to Christmas lights
The Christmas Lights Car arrives, as these things do, slightly early — November 2 is a bold time to start celebrating Christmas, but viral trends have never respected the calendar. Alongside Leo Cheers, it completes a trio of new November trends that follow five which went live on November 1: the Jisoo “Addicted” Dance, the Smooth Criminal Dance, Giant Ramp Climbing, Mirror Panther and Strike a Pole.
October 31 had its own quartet: the Dog Bartender, Coffee Making, Cardo Dinner and the Car Alarm Dance. The longer runners are still going strong, including Single Ladies Dog, Smalltown Boy Cats, Bulin 47 and I Wanna Love You, each with its own dated numbers on the tracker.
Why AI trends move so fast
The speed is the story. A trend can now go from a single Instagram post to a template on multiple platforms within days, with sites offering free previews and remakes. The Toy Car to Real Car trend was the most tried on the tracker between October 25 and November 1, with 206 people on its page and 112 free previews — a reminder that viral video in 2026 is as much about participation as viewing.
Whether the piano cats survive the week is anyone’s guess. In a month that also brings the release of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19 and US Thanksgiving on November 26, the trends will keep coming. For now, though, cats at a piano and a car covered in Christmas lights are winning November — and that feels about right.
