Kathryn Bernardo, one of the Philippines’ most beloved actresses, celebrated the arrival of 2025 with a lighthearted twist on a time-honored New Year’s tradition. Captured on Instagram by her mother, Min Bernardo, Kathryn took part in the “12 grapes under the table” trend, a practice believed to bring good fortune for the year ahead. This amusing moment resonated with fans, showcasing Kathryn’s relatable charm and fun personality.
The custom involves eating 12 grapes within the first minute of the New Year. Each grape symbolizing a wish or aspiration for the months to come. Kathryn added her charm to the tradition, crouched under a table, energetically munching on grapes while the clock struck midnight. Her animated effort to complete the challenge showcased her playful side, endearing her further to fans. The clip of her enthusiastically enjoying the tradition quickly went viral, sparking joyful reactions online.
Dressed festively in a blue and white polka dot tube top with matching white pants, Kathryn followed another superstition—jumping up and down as the year began. This activity, rooted in Filipino culture, is said to encourage growth. At nearly 5’2″, Kathryn’s enthusiasm resonated with many who share similar hopes.
Beyond her New Year’s antics, Kathryn recently starred alongside Alden Richards in Hello, Love, Again, the sequel to their 2019 blockbuster Hello, Love, Goodbye. The original film shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time, with earnings surpassing ₱1.4 billion worldwide.
Fans eagerly anticipate Kathryn’s upcoming projects and celebrate her spirited approach to life. Through her simple yet heartfelt New Year’s rituals, she reminds everyone of the joy found in embracing traditions with loved ones.
Happy New Year, Kathryn! May the wishes behind those 12 grapes bring exciting opportunities and happiness your way.
