Made with Felo from one photo: Santa surprises a grandma by the Christmas tree (original by @hisantahere on TikTok)

What is the AI Christmas video trend?

AI Christmas videos turn an ordinary photo into a short holiday scene: you sit in a living room decorated for Christmas, Santa Claus walks in behind you with a sack of presents, you turn around, gasp and give him a hug. It looks like a real phone video of a Santa visit.

As soon as Halloween ended, Christmas content took over TikTok, and AI Santa videos — personalized Santa messages, "Santa caught on camera" clips and Santa visits — are among the first holiday formats to spread. Searches like "ai christmas video" and "ai santa video" climb every year from November to Christmas Eve.

Use a clear, well-lit photo of one person facing the camera; half-body photos look best on the couch.
Make one for someone who would love a Santa visit — kids and grandparents get the biggest reactions.
Add a Christmas song like "Jingle Bells" when you post on TikTok or Instagram.
Send it as a digital Christmas card instead of a photo.
Only use photos of yourself or of people who said yes, and label the video as AI-generated.

FAQ

How do I make an AI Christmas video?

Upload one clear photo at the top of this page and click "Make my video". In about a minute you get a 5-second 9:16 video: you sit by the Christmas tree, Santa walks in with presents, you hug him and wave at the camera together.

Can I make a Santa video for my kids?

Yes. Upload a photo of your child (you are their parent or guardian) and they get their own Santa visit. Only use photos of people you are allowed to share.

Is this a personalized Santa video?

It is a personalized AI Santa video: the person in your photo is in the scene with Santa. Santa does not say a name or a message; for your own story, use "Make my version" further down the page.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo of one person facing the camera, ideally showing the upper body. Selfies work too.

Is it free?

Your first photo video may be free, subject to account eligibility and availability. If the offer does not apply, check your account price; otherwise, later videos cost 200 credits each, charged only when ready.
