What is the Here Comes Santa Claus trend?
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
One photo becomes a short video: you dance in slow motion at the bottom of a sunlit pool, with floating hair. The post we follow went up on TikTok on 7 November 2026.
Where it came from
The clip we follow was posted on 7 November 2026. It runs about 12 seconds, and we follow its middle, from about 5 seconds in, when the dancer is already at the bottom of the pool.
What happens in the clip
- 0–1.5s: On the pool floor with the elbows bent, the dancer bounces lightly to the beat while the hair drifts upward.
- 1.5–3s: One knee goes up high and then the other, with swinging arms, like marching in slow motion.
- 3–4s: A floaty hop, with both arms thrown out wide and a little trail of bubbles.
- 4–5s: A push off the floor, a slow rise through the water and a wave with one hand.
Why people try it
It looks like one steady shot from the pool floor. The water, the dance and the outfit are drawn by the AI around your photo.
