Morning routine enthusiasts, gather up! American YouTuber James Stephen "Jimmy" Donaldson, better known as MrBeast online, has just dropped the minimalist morning routine that he and his girlfriend share. This morning routine, as posted on March 26, 2025, from the YouTuber's official handle on X, surprisingly involves no ice-dunking or banana peel tricks. What it featured instead has netizens going ROFL in the comment section, drawing hilarious reactions.
What is the 'morning routine' trend and why is it going viral?
Who would have thought in their wildest dreams that things like washing your face or brushing your teeth would be labeled and declared 'a morning ritual'? Well, welcome to the era of viral trends and social media!
The viral morning routine trend started when Ashton Hall shared his own on March 25, 2025, in a now-famous Instagram reel. Here, among several other 'self-care' activities, he dunks his face in cold Saratoga Water and rubs banana peel on his face. Well, the rest has created history! For some people who spend their mornings bedrotting, procrastinating, or find simple tasks such as getting out of bed to be incredibly difficult, the video has reportedly become a clarion call. However, for others, it has proven to be rather funny.
The video has now sparked a wild frenzy among followers and has turned the Internet into a melting pot of myriad morning skincare and self-care schedule ideas.
MrBeast shares his ‘morning routine’ with his girlfriend
But wait up! The fun has only begun. Just when you thought the banana peel drama couldn’t get any more interesting, MrBeast enters the chat.
To everyone's surprise, instead of sharing a post that features of a bowl of ice and bottles of Saratoga water or other fruit skins, MrBeast shared a mirror selfie of himself and his girlfriend simply brushing their teeth.
Stating that his routine is all about 'just teeth brushing', this supposed dedication to oral hygiene certainly makes one contemplate their own routines. However, as far as the banana peel trick is concerned, let's just say that this couple does not find it much 'a-peeling'!
Let us have a look at MrBeast's post that has elicited all the collective giggles:

Despite all the buzz, the trend exhaustion is also palpable among netizens. As if some weird spell had been cast over people overnight, soon enough, influencers, online celebrities, and even footballers such as Jeremy Frimpong began sharing their 'morning routines'. Even platforms like Spotify, Duolingo, and smartphone brand Nothing have taken their turns in participating in the trend on social media for publicity purposes.
