How it works
How do I make the Santa nice list video with my own photo or my dog?
Upload one photo (you, an adult who agreed, or your own cat or dog) and get a 10-second vertical video: Santa in his workshop checks the Nice List, looks up, nods and sends gold sparkles into a gold frame where your photo comes to life and waves. Price is shown before you pay; no account needed for one video.
- Add your photo
Upload one sharp photo. One adult or one pet, face clear. No sign-in, no password and no app: it all happens on this page.
- The AI does the moves
Santa runs down the Nice List → He finds you and nods → He blows gold sparkles → You come alive in the gold frame and wave
- Post it like the meme
Send it to whoever doubted you made the list this year.

Price, refunds, limits and tips
- You need
- One sharp photo. One adult or one pet, face clear. JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing else: no prompt to write, no editing.
- Who can be in it
- You, other adults who agreed, or your own cat or dog.
- You get
- A 10 to 10-second MP4 (9:16) up to 1080p, with sleigh bells, a music-box melody and Santa's chuckle, made by the AI, no watermark, usually in 2 to 5 minutes.
- Price
- A 10-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 Mini is $4.99 on its own, one payment. With credits it uses 20 credits (credits from $9.99), or subscribe.
- Limits
- 10 seconds in one shot. Santa, the workshop and the frame are the AI's; the face, hair or fur in the frame come from your photo. No name appears in the video: the scroll only says NICE LIST, since AI lettering often comes out misspelled. Adults or your own pets only, never children.
What is the Santa Nice List meme?
Santa checking his Naughty & Nice list is a CapCut Christmas template that went round TikTok from early November 2026: Santa reads the list, gold sparkles fly and someone's photo appears in a gold frame. A Spanish post from November 6 passed 770,000 plays.
Best photo for a Santa Nice List video
One adult or one pet, face clear and facing the camera, waist up for a person. Any background: the AI puts your photo in the frame with a Christmas tree behind.
Post it like the meme
Try one of these:
- officially on the nice list 🎅

FAQ
Santa Nice List AI Video FAQ
Can I put my dog or cat on the nice list?
Yes. Upload a clear photo of your own pet; it comes alive in the gold frame, looks around and tilts its head while Santa claps.
Does my name show on the list?
No. The scroll says NICE LIST only. AI video often misspells names, so we keep the name out; add it as a caption in TikTok when you post.
Can I make one for my kids?
No. Photos of children aren't accepted. For a Santa message to your kids without their photo, use the Custom Santa Video Message, which only needs a photo of your room.
Is this the CapCut template?
No. The CapCut template drops your photo into a ready-made clip; here the whole scene is made new for your photo, with Santa, the sparkles and the frame coming alive.
Can Santa say something?
Here he only chuckles and nods. If you want Santa to say your own words, the Custom Santa Video Message does that.
Is Turnly an app, a filter or the official Santa Nice List maker?
No. Turnly is an independent website, not made by or affiliated with the creators of the Santa Nice List meme, TikTok or CapCut. There's no app or live filter: you upload a photo in your browser and get a new AI video. It never uses or edits the original clip.
Sign-up, payment, refunds, failed videos and what happens to your photos are answered on the Pricing and How it works pages.
