The new year has almost officially begun. We're leaving 2024 behind us and moving on into yet another milestone year with 2025. If this year follows the trend of previous ones, it might be rough, but hey, let's stay optimistic.

When the world's filled with issues, positivity is key to staying afloat, so wholesome content can be great for your mental health by providing some long-needed stress relief in the form of cute photos. Who doesn't love looking at something more positive once in a while, rather than the news or whatever's going on on TV?

We could all use some great photos from /r/aww to cure all ills. While it's not the perfect solution we all need, it's definitely a start to something better. We don't want to repeat the nightmares of the last several years, so why not start on a good note for better luck this time around? These are some of Reddit's most wholesome images to add some happiness to the start of 2025.
