How do I make a Deck the Halls Dance video?
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
Upload one or two photos of adults, choose the place, the outfit and the ending and MimicZip stages the scene: the stomps, the fist, the spin and the finish. Watch a 5-second bonus preview first, then put 1 credit toward the 5-second 720p video.
One fixed shot, one silly routine, on purpose
- Go to the template page. Add one sharp photo of an adult, whole body or from the thighs up, facing the camera, then a second adult if you like (without one, it is a solo dance). Accepted: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each.
- Choose the place (Car park at night by default), the outfit (Your own clothes by default) and the ending (Walk to the camera by default). None changes the price.
- Format: a vertical 9:16 video, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
- Consent and login. Tick the photo-consent box and sign in with Google. A pack brings the previews, so buy one first if your balance is empty.
- Watch the preview. It cannot be downloaded: 5 seconds at 480p with a PREVIEW mark. Check the faces looking like your photos, the arms in step and the spin coming back to the camera.
- Render: 1 credit buys the 5-second 720p MP4, no watermark, kept in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok afterwards.
The stomps, the fist, the spin, the finish
The stomps (0 to 2 seconds), the fist (2 to 3), the spin (3 to 4) and the finish (4 to 5).
The hardest part for the AI is the full turn: the body has to rotate, the face has to vanish and come back looking like your photo, and with two dancers they must not blend together. An arm that looks a little long, a hand that flickers or a face that shifts for a frame after the spin is normal, not a failed render. Think of it as a silly little clip, not a film.
Where it comes from
Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows the middle of the TikTok from 6 November 2026, from the stomps to the finish. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.
MimicZip is independent and has no affiliation with TikTok or whoever posted the trend.
Questions people ask
Is there a prompt box?
No. The scene, the camera and the beat order are fixed; you supply photos and pick options.
Can I leave while it renders?
Yes. The render continues on our side, and the finished video appears in My videos on your account.
What shape is the video?
Vertical 9:16, for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and the bonus preview is the same shape.
