TikTok often gives rise to some of the most random yet relatable trends, which can be as random as videos of users simply wanting to be left alone at home. And guess what? The "do not come to my town" trend is exactly that! This latest trend celebrates the pure joy of being left alone and wanting to keep it that way, no matter who's messaging, calling, or what's happening outside.Anyone who doesn't let them be is not allowed in their town!

It all started when comedian Flula Borg shared a video ranting about the classic Christmas carol "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," hilariously insisting that he'd rather have Santa stay away from his town. He went on to mention that Santa feels like a stalker to him, knowing where every kid lives and whether they've been naughty or nice, making it clear that he'd prefer if Santa never came to town.

The video immediately went viral, giving rise to the "do not come to my town" TikTok trend with Flula's commentary as the soundtrack. Hundreds of thousands of hilarious and relatable videos have been shared on the platform since, making it one of TikTok's favorite trends to scroll through for hours.
