Last Christmas Dance: price, photos, free options and FAQ
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
No plan to cancel: a pack is paid once and its credits wait in your account. One credit turns your photos into a 5-second 720p Last Christmas Dance clip with no watermark. You can pick 1 for $6.99, 3 for $10.99 or 5 for $15.99, each with watch-only previews.
What a single credit covers
One credit builds the whole clip from your two snaps: the knee lifts, the waves and the thumbs-up, 5 seconds from the first frame to the last. Swapping hats, place or outfit leaves the cost unchanged. Per clip, the three packs come to roughly $6.99, $3.66 or $3.20.
If the first run is not quite right
Two bodies keeping time under two different hats is demanding, because faces, arms and knees all move together. When a face drifts mid-lift, try a crisper snap and compare the two clips side by side. A credit covers the entire clip, from the first knee to the last thumbs-up. The 3- and 5-video packs leave space for second tries, and anything left over works on every other MimicZip template. Matching hats are the easiest case, so if one hat keeps slipping, try the two Santa hats option on the second run.
Pack extras, refunds and payment
- Preview clips: 1 in the $6.99 pack, 3 in the $10.99 pack and 5 in the $15.99 pack. Watch only, no download, and not a free plan.
- A generation that does not finish gets its credit back without you asking.
- A pack still sealed can be returned inside 7 days (refund policy); a credit that already produced a clip cannot.
- Nothing recurs, so there is no renewal date to remember.
Is there a free Last Christmas Dance video generator?
No. MimicZip has no free Last Christmas Dance version and no free preview. A finished 5-second 720p clip costs 1 credit and packs start at $6.99; it covers the two of you dancing in festive hats. Every pack includes watch-only previews, and there is no subscription.
The original trend on TikTok, and what is free there
The original is a 10-second TikTok from 4 November 2026, two hats and one dance, and it plays on TikTok at no cost.
What you buy here is something else: a 5-second clip made from your own snaps, with the room, the moves and the ending generated for you.
What a Last Christmas Dance run takes
- Snaps: two sharp pictures of grown-ups, one for each dancer. No under-18s.
- Presets: three hat sets (Santa and elf hats unless you change it), three places (Christmas living room unless you change it) and three outfits (Your own clothes unless you change it).
- Cost: 1 credit for the 5-second 720p clip, without a watermark. $6.99 buys 1 video, $10.99 buys 3 and $15.99 buys 5.
- Previews: 1 in the $6.99 pack, 3 in the $10.99 pack and 5 in the $15.99 pack. A preview is the same 5-second scene at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge, and cannot be downloaded.
Why this is a paid tool
Everything surrounding the pair is generated (the room, the moves and the ending), and every render runs on a paid AI video model, so a free tier is impossible. MimicZip stands alone and was not made, endorsed or licensed by whoever posted the original. The room, the lights, the hats and both bodies are all drawn from nothing, which is what the model’s running cost pays for.
A Last Christmas Dance run asks a lot of the model. It must keep two full bodies side by side in a lit room, put a different hat on each head, lift four knees together and end with two thumbs-up, with both faces still yours. Treat each pack as a few shots, not a bottomless supply: peek at a bonus preview, swap a snap if a face drifts and hold a credit back for the take you will post. Two different hats double the details to track: each hat has to stay on its own head and keep its colour while both heads bob with the knee lifts.
What photo works for a Last Christmas Dance video?
Send two clear pictures, one per dancer, of grown-ups looking into the lens with decent lighting, cropped around the thighs. Any plain wall works, since the living room is drawn around you. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, sides 300 to 6000 pixels. Photos without a hat are best, because the model adds the hats itself.
File rules
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
- Width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
What makes a good photo
- One grown-up in each picture, facing the lens.
- Cropped near the thighs, front-on: knees and arms drive this dance, so more than a face helps.
- Visible eyes and face, so the hats do not hide who is who.
- Soft, even light and a calm backdrop; the model borrows your colours.

Questions people ask
Do credits expire?
No. Whatever you have not used stays on your account.
Will I be charged again automatically?
No. A pack is paid for once and never charged again.
Can I get a refund?
Only an unused pack, and only inside 7 days. A credit that has produced a clip is final.
What does a failed video cost?
Nothing is lost. When a run fails, the credit returns to your balance on its own.
Do I need a credit card for a free preview?
No. Try the hats, the place and the outfit with your snaps before paying; the one payment comes at checkout, once you choose a pack.
Can I watch the original for free?
Yes. The original keeps playing on TikTok and this page links straight to it. All we produce is a version made from your snaps.
Is the preview the whole clip?
Close. A preview shows the same 5-second scene at 480p instead of 720p, so you can check your photos first. It carries a badge and cannot be downloaded.
Is it fine to upload a picture of the men from the original post?
No. Send yourself or adults who agreed. Under-18s, celebrities and famous characters are blocked.
May I upload one picture twice?
The same file twice is not accepted. Two different pictures of one person work, although the dance suits a pair.
How long are my photos kept?
They are stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
Do the options cost more?
No. The price is the same for every option.
Are the options tested?
The defaults are the ones the scene was written around; the others have not been run on their own yet.
Can I type my own option?
No. This template has presets only, with no free-text prompt.
