Braedon Peltier, a social media star whose annual Christmas countdown videos with his sister Brenna Peltier went viral online, has died at the age of 31, according to an announcement from his sister.
Brenna Peltier shared the news in a TikTok video posted Friday, revealing that her brother passed away on September 25. In the video, she noted that Braedon was diagnosed with brain cancer at just 5 years old. Although he had been cancer-free for years, he continued to face numerous health challenges throughout his life.
Brenna wrote that it seemed Braedon's body was simply done fighting, though she emphasized that he never complained and always tried to bring smiles to others. She described the passing as "unexpected" and stated there are "no words to express the loss we are feeling without him," as reported by TMZ.com.
The siblings gained widespread fame for posting yearly Christmas countdown videos. However, they did not release one in 2025, as Brenna explained that Braedon was dealing with health issues at the time.
Following the news of his passing, fans and viewers have been sharing messages of support across social media platforms. Braedon Peltier was 31 years old.
