How do I make a Last Christmas Dance video?

A festive duo dance, on purpose

• Head to the template page. Snap one goes to the left-hand dancer and snap two to the right-hand one. Each file can be JPG, PNG or WebP and may weigh up to 10 MB.
• Choose the hats (Santa and elf hats by default), the place (Christmas living room by default) and the outfit (Your own clothes by default). None changes the price.
• Video shape: the video is vertical 9:16, made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
• Consent and sign-in. Tick the photo-consent box and log in with Google. Previews arrive inside a pack, so take one if you have no credits.
• Then press the preview button. What plays is 5 seconds long, at 480p, stamped PREVIEW and viewable only here. Ask yourself three things: do both faces still look like your snaps, do the hats stay put when the knees go up, and do the two of you keep the same tempo?
• Render: 1 credit gives the 5-second 720p MP4 with no watermark, saved in My videos. Add your sound in TikTok.

The knee lifts, the waves, the thumbs-up

The knee lifts (0 to 1.5 seconds), the waves (1.5 to 3) and the thumbs-up (3 to 5).

Tempo is the tricky bit. Knees, arms and hats all move on the same beat, so one hat may slide or one arm may be drawn twice for a split second. A late thumbs-up is simply how the model works and does not mean the run failed. Two hats and two bobbing heads are a lot for a model, so plain clothes in different colours make it easier to keep the dancers apart.

Where it comes from

Save the MP4 or copy a share link from My videos. Our video follows the dance of the TikTok from 4 November 2026. The sound guide shows how to add your own sound.
