What it is

What is an AI Christmas video?

An AI Christmas video turns one photo into a Christmas scene that moves. The one people remake most is Mi Burrito Sabanero: a ride on a fluffy little donkey across the living room, past the fireplace and the tree, while the floor turns to snow.

It takes its name from Mi Burrito Sabanero, the Venezuelan Christmas song these videos play. In December 2025 two versions of the ride passed three million plays each, and in November 2026 the AI Christmas video is being searched again.

Your photo

Which photo to use for an AI Christmas video

The camera follows the rider from a few steps away, head to toe, so a full-length photo works best: the clothes and the legs come from it. A sharp face in good light matters most.

  • Sample photo: a smiling one-year-old in a yellow bodysuit standing barefoot on a wooden floor, full length, face clearly visible
    Clear face, good light
  • Face in shadowTryTurn toward a window
    Face in shadow
  • Heavy filterTryUse the original photo
    Heavy filter
  • Face too smallTryStep closer: waist-up or full length
    Face too small

Works

  • One subject, alone in the photo
  • Full length if you have it
  • Face clear and sharp
  • Daylight or a bright room

Skip

  • Blurry photos or a small face far away
  • Heavy filters
  • Sunglasses or a hand over the face

Fixes

If your AI Christmas video looks off

The camera shows the rider from head to toe and the face is small for most of the ride, so the photo has to be sharp.

  • The face is not quite right

    Use a sharp, front-facing photo in good light, without filters.

  • The clothes look invented

    Use a full-length photo; with a close-up, the rest has to be drawn.

  • Two people in the photo

    Crop it to one before you upload. Each video has one rider.

  • The photo will not upload

    Use a JPG, PNG or WEBP. If an iPhone photo will not open, upload a screenshot of it.

  • The video did not render

    The credits go back on their own. Add the photo again and press the button.
