With moments caught on camera, political upheavals, unexpected scandals and the heroes and changemakers whose stories inspired millions, “THE YEAR: 2025” captures it all, from major international events, including the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, to the historic election of the first American pope and the political unrest and policy battles in the U.S.

The special revisits the catastrophic California wildfires and Texas floods and the court cases that gripped the nation, from Karen Read to Sean “Diddy” Combs. “The Year” also looks at the celebrity romances and breakups that fueled headlines, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s surprise engagement, and spotlights breakout stars like Doechii, who made history at the GRAMMYS®, and the record-breaking season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Viewers will revisit the pop-culture obsessions and viral moments that defined the year, from Labubus to the year’s most confounding catchphrase, “six-seven.”
