COPY, PASTE, ADJUST

Don’t You Dare Christmas prompt blocks to copy

One block sets the 90s snowy square, one times the lines from Don’t you dare to Apologize first, and one keeps both faces and coats the same.

Still prompt · Image to Image

The 90s square
1990s Christmas movie still: a snowy town square at night, a big decorated tree, string lights, warm film grain and soft glow.
Keep both faces
The person from the first photo keeps their face, hair and coat; the second photo is the other lead, or an invented adult partner if there is none.
Exclude
No text, no logos, no real celebrities.

Motion prompt · Image to Video

The lines
0-2 s the snowball hits; 2-3 s “Don’t you dare!”; 3-6 s the chase; 6-10 s “Truce?” “Apologize first.” under the tree.
Keep both faces
Same faces, hair and coats in every frame.
Sound
Original 90s holiday music, no lyrics.

No partner photo: keep “If I uploaded a second photo, the other lead is that person with their own face and clothes; if not, invent an original adult partner in a winter coat and scarf.” in the still prompt and leave the second slot empty.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Don’t You Dare Christmas FAQ

Can I make Don’t You Dare Christmas with only my photo?

Yes. Leave the second slot empty and the prompt draws the other lead as an original adult partner from a text description. Add your partner’s photo if you want both faces to be real.

Which opening do I pick?

Snowball standoff for the chase and the Don’t you dare! line, or Same present for an awkward first meeting over one dropped gift. Each opening is a scene chip in the workbench.

How long is the clip here?

The motion prompt is timed for about 10 seconds: the opening, the chase and the truce. The remixed samples on this page run about 8 seconds. The Animate it button shows the credits before you run it.

When did the trend start?

With a TikTok clip by @larpmaxinggggg on October 12, 2026: two AI-made strangers in a 1990s-style Christmas romantic comedy. Template pages copied the snowball and the truce within two weeks.

Which music fits?

An original 90s holiday tune from AI Music. Skip copyrighted Christmas songs; describe the mood instead, like warm strings and sleigh bells.

Where do the sample clips come from?

They are remixes of two Seedance 2.0 Fast clips made for this trend on October 27, 2026: re-cut, reframed and color graded for this page. Each card shows the two original photos and the still the clip started from. The solo card is a still made with GPT Image from one photo.
