AI Christmas Video

What the AI Christmas video is

It is Christmas Eve, 50 years from now, in a quiet living room with the lamps off. One of you sits in an armchair by a frosted window. The other comes to the doorway with two chipped mugs and gets back the polite smile people give a stranger. The film is about what happens next.

It is a personalized Christmas video in the plainest sense: the two people in it are you. You upload one photo of each of you, pick the home it happens in, and we make a 32-second vertical film with music and an end title. Every face is made from your photos, not a stock clip with your faces pasted on top.

The story, shot by shot

Shot by shot, this is the film. Two short lines appear on screen, one at the start and one in the middle.

1. A stranger’s smile. A close-up by the window, in cold blue light. Your partner turns, smiles politely at someone they don’t know, and looks back at the snow. The first line tells you which Christmas this is, and what they just asked you.
2. The doorway. You, in the doorway. The smile falters.
3. Two old mugs. A wide shot of the room. You set one mug down beside the armchair. They keep looking out of the window.
4. The heart. A close-up of hands and a red glass heart with a gold ribbon, the ornament from your first tree. The second line tells you why it matters.
5. The tree lights up. The heart goes on the dark tree, and its lights come on one by one, spreading across the room to the armchair.
6. Remembering. The same close-up as the first shot, now in warm light. The eyes focus, and they know you.
7. Our first Christmas. A white flash, then the two of you young, laughing, in the place where you spent your first Christmas, with the same red heart on a small tree.
8. Every one after. Back in the room at dawn, foreheads touching by the lit tree, swaying as if dancing.
9. The window. The house from outside as the snow keeps falling, and the end title: “Our first Christmas”, the year, “and every one after”, and your names if you add them.

Why it is a film and not a card

Most Christmas video makers start from a template: a snowy frame, a dancing figure, your face on top. This film has a story with a turn in it, two people who change over the course of it, and a cut back to the start of it all. The faces are made fresh for each shot from your photos, aged by about 50 years, so the people on screen look like the two of you grown old, not like a filter.

Pick the home it happens in

The story stays the same, but you choose the house it happens in. The snowy cabin cuts back to a tiny first flat with moving boxes and a small tree. The old city flat cuts back to a Christmas market at golden hour. Each scene has its own music and its own view from the window.

Who it is for

Couples who have been together a long time, and couples who hope to be. It works as a gift for a partner, for your parents or grandparents, or as something to send the family instead of a card. Both people in the photos must be adults who agreed to be in the film.

What it can’t do

No AI keeps a face perfect, and aging a face by decades is harder still. Expect a clear likeness with small differences: a nose a little different, a hairline that ages its own way. Side photos, sunglasses, dark pictures and group shots make the result worse. The example films on this page are made from AI-generated people, not customers.
