If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you’ve probably heard of Wednesday Waffle. Nope, it’s not about brunch or a new breakfast menu item; it’s the adorable new trend helping long-distance BFFs stay connected.
If you and your bestie are miles (or even countries!) apart, this trend is the new way to keep the friendship spark alive—no matter where life takes you. And let’s face it, what better excuse to text your bestie than having a whole trend dedicated to it?
What Exactly is Wednesday Waffle?
So, here’s the rundown: every Wednesday, people hop on TikTok and “waffle” with their friends by sharing their highs, lows, and all the “meh” moments of the week.
The waffle part? That’s just you and your bestie chatting it out—whether it’s gushing over a crush, whining about exams, or sharing random gossip that just cannot wait. Think of it as a mini therapy sesh with a side of FaceTime. It’s wholesome, funny, and low-key one of the best excuses to check in regularly without any pressure.
Pro Tip: Send each other a photo or video with your “waffle”—the funny faces and ridiculous filters are basically required at this point.

Keeping in touch used to be a struggle (hello, monthly catch-ups), but Wednesday Waffle has totally switched it up. This little ritual isn’t just a weekly check-in; it’s a bonding moment and an instant serotonin boost. Plus, it’s a reminder that no matter how far you are, your bestie’s got your back—on Wednesdays, and every day, TBH.
Not Sure What to Waffle About? Here’s Some Ideas:
- Highs & Lows of the Week
- Share the best, the worst, and everything in between. You got a B on that exam? Your boss gave you free coffee? Tell your BFF! Sometimes the best convos come out of the most random stuff.
- Rate My Fit (Even If It’s Just PJs)
- Fashion advice or roasting each other’s outfits? Both are fair game. If your bestie’s fashion choices look like they got dressed in the dark, let them know (gently, of course). It’s all love!
- Dream Vacay Planning
- Dreaming of Paris? Obsessed with the Maldives? Pick a place and start “planning” a trip together. Screenshot that dream Airbnb, pick your perfect travel OOTDs, and make a shared Pinterest board. Who knows? Maybe one day, the vacay will happen for real.
- Cringe-Watch TV Together (Virtually)
- Queue up a cheesy reality show and laugh at it together. You could even pick a day of the week, set a timer, and watch while texting about the best moments.
- Send Each Other Surprise Packages
- Nothing says “thinking of you” like a random Amazon package filled with little treats or a meme t-shirt. And no, it doesn’t have to be pricey! Even a $5 candle or a snack from your area gives a bit of hometown love.

More Ideas to Keep Your Long-Distance Friendship Close:
- Virtual Movie Nights: Start the movie at the same time, hop on a call, and give each other live commentary. (Nothing bonds people like roasting terrible plot twists!)
- Voice Note Diaries: Throughout the day, drop a few short voice notes so they can hear all the deets in real-time.
- Share a Spotify Playlist: Make a playlist for each other and update it every month with songs that match your vibe. Bonus points if you add a cheesy “this one’s for you” song.
- Handwritten Letters: Go vintage with snail mail! A surprise letter is such a cute way to show you care, and it gives you something to look forward to.
Whether you’re across the country or just a couple of hours away, the Wednesday Waffle trend shows that friendship knows no distance. Just a weekly check-in can keep you close, grounded, and connected to your person—even if life gets wild. So go ahead, text your bestie and start waffling every Wednesday!
