Short answer: for holidays, the AI video people send most is a 10-second greeting made from one photo: your pet or a friend in a Santa hat saying "Merry Christmas!", counting down to New Year with fireworks, holding a rose for Valentine’s Day, or blowing out candles for a birthday. Make it a day or two before the date and send it in a chat or post it as a story.
Holiday AI video ideas
- Christmas video. Your pet or a friend in a Santa hat by the tree says "Merry Christmas!". Post between December 20 and 25. Want it sillier? Try the AI elf dance: you or your pet in an elf costume, dancing by the tree.
- New Year video. Your pet or a friend counts down and shouts "Happy New Year!" as fireworks burst. Post on December 31 or January 1.
- Valentine’s video. Your pet or your partner holds a rose and asks "Will you be my Valentine?" with floating hearts. February 14 (June 12 in Brazil).
- Birthday video. Your pet or a friend in a party hat says "Happy birthday!" and blows out the candles. Any day of the year.
- Talking pet. Not tied to a date, but a good gift for the family group chat: your dog or cat complains that dinner is late.
- Dance video. For party season: you or a friend dancing under party lights.
Tips for holiday greetings
- Use a photo of the person or pet the greeting is from, not of the person receiving it.
- Only use photos of people who agreed. No children, celebrities or strangers.
- Make it early. Videos take 2 to 5 minutes, but on December 24 and 31 you will be busy.
- Add your own song when posting if you want a specific carol or countdown track.
