Personalized Santa video samples
Santa by a plate of cookies thanking Dana, and Santa crouching by the fire to hand Biscuit the puppy a present, both 10-second clips made from one empty room photo. In the first, he takes a bite of a cookie, lifts the glass of milk toward the camera and says, “Thank you for the cookies, Dana. You made the nice list again,” then goes back for another bite. In the second, he pats the golden retriever puppy on the rug, sets the present down beside it and says, “Merry Christmas, Biscuit. This one is all yours,” then stands up and walks off toward the tree while the puppy stays by its present.

Santa is an original character, Dana is an invented grown-up name and Biscuit is an AI puppy; no child appears and no child's photo was used. The two rooms were generated as empty phone photos with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, Santa was added in a still, and each clip was made once on this site with Seedance 2.0 Fast, 10 seconds, 9:16, 720p, on November 5, 2026. The voice, sleigh bells and room sound were generated with the clip; there is no song. The Present Tag and Snowy Door cards are stills only. Last checked .

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Personalized Santa video FAQ
Do I need a photo of my child?
No. Upload a photo of the room only, with nobody in it, and type the name. Santa is added to the room; no child appears or is needed.
How do I get the name said right?
Type it the way it sounds, for example "Ava-lynn" instead of "Avalynn", then check the tag in the still and listen to the clip before you share it.
Can Santa talk to a grown-up or a dog?
Yes. Any name works: thank your partner for the cookies, or pick Pet Hello and let Santa hand the dog or cat a present by name.
Is the personalized Santa video free?
Building the still costs a few credits and the clip costs more. The price shows on each button before you start, and no subscription is needed.
When should I make it?
Before December 24, so it is ready to play on Christmas Eve. Make one clip per child, each with their own name.
