5s · MP4About AI Santa video on Cicadas
The AI Santa video generator starts from your own photo: a phone picture of the living room with the tree, or a still from the doorbell camera. That photo is the first frame, so the room in the clip is your room, and Santa walks into it: he puts a finger to his lips at the door, leaves a present under the tree, or waves and says a first name you typed. Cicadas makes it with MiniMax H3 Max: 5, 10 or 15 seconds, always with sound; a 5-second clip is 63 credits. No photos of people are needed, and the page is not a video call or a ready-made message service: you get one short MP4.
AI Santa video examples made on Cicadas
Santa at the front door, caught on the doorbell camera.
MiniMax H3 Max, 5 seconds with sound, from one photo: a still from a doorbell camera of a snowy porch at night; back in 13 seconds. The clip keeps the 3:4 shape of the photo. Santa comes into view close to the lens with a red sack on his shoulder, walks onto the mat, turns, looks straight at the camera with a finger to his lips, then bends down with a wrapped present. The porch, the lights on the railing and the wreath stay as in the photo. The sound is slow footsteps and a rustle; there are no bells, although the prompt asked for them.
Use this recipe ↗A present under the tree, and a look back.
MiniMax H3 Max, 5 seconds with sound, vertical, from one phone photo of a living room with a lit tree and a fireplace; back in 49 seconds. Santa walks in from the right with a sack on his back, crosses in front of the fireplace, kneels by the tree and puts a present with the others, then looks back over his shoulder at the camera. The tree, the stockings and the sofa in the foreground stay as in the photo. The wink the prompt asked for is too small to see. The sound is heavy footsteps and rustling paper, with no bells.
Use this recipe ↗"Merry Christmas, Emma!" close to the lens.
MiniMax H3 Max, 5 seconds with sound, vertical, from the same living-room photo; back in 37 seconds. Santa steps in from the right, comes right up to the lens, waves and says "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Emma! See you very soon." word for word (two automated listeners), with soft chimes behind the voice. He fills the frame, so most of the room is hidden behind him.

Santa walks into your own photo
The photo you add is the first frame of the clip, so the porch, the tree and the furniture are yours. In our recorded clips Santa came in from the edge of the frame on his own: onto a snowy porch seen through a doorbell camera, and into a living room with a lit tree. The room, the lights and the stockings on the mantel stayed as in the photo.
Three scenes, one with a spoken name
Caught on camera: he stops, looks at the lens and puts a finger to his lips. Presents under the tree: he kneels and leaves one. Says a name: he waves and says "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Emma! See you very soon." Change Emma to the name you want. In our recorded clip he said the line word for word (two automated listeners), and he walked right up to the lens to say it.

AI Santa video prompt ideas
Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot. Or write your own shot by shot in the prompt generator.
“The photo is the first frame, and the camera does not move. Santa Claus, an old man with a full white beard in the traditional red suit with white fur trim, a black belt, black boots and a red hat, walks quietly into view carrying a big red sack over his shoulder. He stops, looks straight at the camera, smiles and raises a finger to his lips, then sets a wrapped present down. The place stays exactly as in the photo: the same light and the same objects, and nothing else changes. One continuous shot, no cuts. Sound: soft footsteps and faint sleigh bells, no music, no voices. No other people, no text.”
“The photo is the first frame, and the camera does not move. Santa Claus, an old man with a full white beard in the traditional red suit with white fur trim, a black belt, black boots and a red hat, tiptoes into the room carrying a red sack, kneels by the Christmas tree and places a wrapped present under it, then looks over his shoulder at the camera and winks. The place stays exactly as in the photo: the same light and the same objects, and nothing else changes. One continuous shot, no cuts. Sound: soft footsteps, rustling wrapping paper and faint sleigh bells, no music, no voices. No other people, no text.”
“The photo is the first frame, and the camera does not move. Santa Claus, an old man with a full white beard in the traditional red suit with white fur trim, a black belt, black boots and a red hat, steps into view, faces the camera, waves and says in a warm, deep, jolly voice: "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Emma! See you very soon." His mouth moves with the words. The place stays exactly as in the photo: the same light and the same objects, and nothing else changes. One continuous shot, no cuts. No music. No other people, no text.”
AI Santa video FAQ
Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-10-12
Recorded on 2026-10-12 with MiniMax H3 Max image-to-video through fal.ai, each request sent once with the exact scene prompt of this page, 5 seconds at 480P with sound, from two AI-made, fictional photos of a home: a doorbell-camera still of a snowy porch and a phone photo of a living room with a lit tree. Caught on camera (the porch; the clip keeps the 3:4 shape of the photo): back in 13 seconds. Presents under the tree: 49 seconds. The spoken name: 37 seconds. In all three the place stayed as in the photo and Santa walked in from the edge of the frame; for the spoken line he came right up to the lens. Sound (two automated listeners): footsteps and rustling on the two scenes without speech, and no bells although the prompts asked for them; the line "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Emma! See you very soon." word for word, with soft chimes behind the voice. The spoken line was also recorded once on Veo 3.1 Fast (6 seconds, 720p, with sound), where Santa stayed at full height in the room; that clip is not shown and the model is not offered here, because the provider marks that endpoint as deprecated on 2026-10-22. Not tested: real photos of a home, photos with people in them, other names, daylight photos, 10 and 15 seconds, and 768P.
