Best results: one person or pet, facing the camera, even lighting, head and chest visible. Avoid sunglasses, masks, heavy filters and long screenshots.

The Santa couple dance is a 15-second Christmas video we made with AI: a couple in Santa suits dances in a snowy small-town square at night, with a giant lit tree behind them and string lights between the shops. It is made for two people, a couple, best friends or siblings, and it works with one photo too.
Upload two photos and the AI puts the first person in the Santa suit on the left and the second in the Mrs. Claus dress on the right, with your own faces, hair and skin tone in every frame. There are no fake beards, so you both stay recognisable through the twirl, the back-to-back pose and the close-up.
What is the Santa couple dance video?
It is a short, funny Christmas clip for two. Instead of a photo card, you send a video of the two of you dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus, dancing to an upbeat Christmas rock and roll track in the snow. People use this kind of clip as a video Christmas card, in the family group chat, or as a December post on TikTok, Reels and Facebook.
AI Christmas videos have grown out of two older ideas: the Christmas e-card, and the "put your face on a dancing character" sites that became a holiday habit after ElfYourself launched in 2006. AI video adds the part those sites could not do, a whole body that moves like a real person with your face on it.
Who plays Santa and who plays Mrs. Claus
Photo 1 is Santa, on the left, in the red velvet suit with white fur trim, black belt with a gold buckle, red hat and black boots. Photo 2 is Mrs. Claus, on the right, in the red velvet dress with white fur trim, black belt, red hat and black boots.
Roles follow the upload order, not gender. A woman can be Santa and a man can be Mrs. Claus; two friends, two sisters or a parent and a grown-up kid all work. With one photo, you play Santa and Mrs. Claus stays as she is in the template.
Your own clothes from the photos are not used. The costumes come from the template, so you do not need Christmas photos to start.
The template, shot by shot
The full version is 15 seconds and filmed as one continuous take. Times are from that version.
0 to 2 s: side by side in front of the tree, swaying and snapping fingers to the beat.
2.5 to 4 s: the camera moves in for a close-up of both faces. This is the moment people screenshot.
4.5 to 6 s: Santa takes Mrs. Claus by the hand and twirls her.
6.5 to 7 s: both face the camera again. The 7-second version ends here.
7 to 10.5 s: the twist, side by side, arms swinging, and a second twirl.
10.5 to 11.5 s: a couple of steps toward the camera.
12 to 13.5 s: back to back, posing.
14 to 15 s: arms wide open, laughing at the camera.
Pick 7 seconds for the close-up and the twirl. Pick 15 seconds for the full routine with the back-to-back pose and the big finish.
Ideas for your Santa video
Couples: send it instead of a Christmas card, or post it on the first day of December.
Parents: put your mom and dad in the suits and send it to the family group chat.
Best friends and roommates: the twirl is funnier when neither of you can dance.
Coworkers: a team holiday message, with two people who agreed to be in it.
Long-distance: the photos do not have to be taken together, so two people in different cities can still share the dance.
Photos that work
Use one clear, front-facing photo per person, with even light and no sunglasses. A chest-up selfie is enough; the AI builds the rest of the body and the costume.
Avoid hats, hoods and heavy filters, which make the face harder to read. Photo 1 matters most in the close-up at 2.5 to 4 seconds, so use the sharper photo there.
Only use photos of yourself and of adults who agreed. Photos of children, celebrities or public figures are not allowed.
Why there are no beards
A white Santa beard would cover most of the face, and the point of the video is that people recognise you. So the suits are classic, the hats are classic, and the faces are yours. If you want the full beard look, this is not the template for that.
Santa couple dance or elf dance?
The site has two Christmas templates. The Santa couple dance is made for two people, outdoors in the snow, with a twirl and a back-to-back pose. The Christmas elf dance is made for up to three people, indoors in a log cabin by the fireplace, with kicks, a spin and jazz hands.
Pick the Santa dance for a couple or a pair of friends. Pick the elf dance for a family or a group of three. Both cost the same and both come with original music.
The music
The track is an original, upbeat Christmas rock and roll instrumental with sleigh bells, twangy guitar, boogie-woogie piano and saxophone, made for this template. It is not a recording of a Christmas song, so the MP4 is ready to post without adding a sound.
Size and where to post
The video is vertical, 9:16, so it fills the screen on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Stories, and it plays inline in WhatsApp and iMessage.
Mark it as AI-generated when you post. Our player and share page say so, and TikTok and Instagram both have an AI label you can switch on.

PhotoSanta Couple DanceQuestions, answered
How do I make a Christmas video with my face?
Upload one clear photo of your face, or two if someone joins you, pick 7 or 15 seconds and press Generate. The video is ready in a few minutes in My videos.
Can I make it alone?
Yes. With one photo you play Santa on the left and Mrs. Claus stays as she is in the template.
Can a woman be Santa?
Yes. Roles follow the upload order, not gender: photo 1 is always Santa, photo 2 is always Mrs. Claus.
Will I have a Santa beard?
No. The template has no fake beards so both faces stay recognisable.
Which length should I pick?
7 seconds is the sway, the close-up and the twirl, for 5 credits, so the smallest pack is enough. 15 seconds adds the twist, the back-to-back pose and the big finish, for 15 credits.
Do the two photos need to be taken together?
No. They can be taken anywhere, at different times. The AI puts both of you in the same snowy square.
Whose photo can I use?
Yours, or an adult who said yes. Photos of kids, celebrities or public figures are not allowed. Videos are marked as AI-generated on our player and share pages; say it is AI when you post.
Can my dog or cat be Santa?
Yes. Switch a photo to Pet and your dog or cat dances as Santa or Mrs. Claus on the snowy street, in the red suit and hat. Same price, and you can pair a person with a pet.
