Create festive holiday videos from a short written greeting in minutes, with no camera or editing software required. HeyGen's holiday video maker is ideal for family greetings, client messages, promotional clips, and social media posts that share the joy of the season.
Key features of the AI holiday video maker
Text prompts to polished festive videos
Type a short holiday message and the AI-powered text to video engine builds the complete video for you: scenes, pacing, narration, and festive visuals. The same engine that powers over 120M videos manages the composition automatically, so a two-line greeting turns into a share-ready clip in just a few minutes.

Holiday Video Templates and Brand Kits
Browse festive templates for video Christmas cards, Hanukkah greetings, and New Year countdowns, then customise the colours, logo, and fonts. Decorate your video with holiday stickers, animated icons, and falling snow for a unique touch that will delight recipients. The same brand kit keeps every seasonal video ad on-brand.

Turn Holiday Photos into Video
Upload photos from the year and HeyGen turns them into a moving slideshow with pans, zooms, and smooth animation. Apply a festive filter, let automatic colour correction polish each shot, and the image to video engine delivers a warm recap without manual editing.

Natural voiceovers in 300+ voices
Add narration in 300+ lifelike voices, or clone your own from a short sample so the greeting sounds like you. Pair the voice with a festive jingle, background music, or sound effects from the in-built library, and adjust the tone directly in the script editor.

Captions and Platform-Ready Exports
Built-in AI tools generate accurate captions with the subtitle generator, so greetings still land even when viewers watch with the sound off. Export in MP4 at HD or 4K, in vertical, square, or widescreen formats sized for every platform: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, email, and messaging apps.


Paper cards usually get just one glance. Write a warm Happy Holidays message, add photos from the year, and send a cheerful, festive holiday video card that your loved ones will replay and treasure all season.

Filming an executive greeting can take weeks of coordination. Instead, generate a professional-looking message from a script, using an AI spokesperson or your own digital twin, and create a lasting impression on every client before the holidays.

Posting every day through December can exhaust small teams. Generate multiple holiday-themed clips from short prompts, keep your visuals consistent, and spread Christmas cheer across your feeds in a single afternoon instead of over several weeks.

Seasonal offers need video quickly, before the window closes. Turn your offer copy into a polished promo video that showcases your products with captions and a clear call to action, ready on the same day.

Putting together a year-in-review from raw footage can take days. Share your milestones, photos, and celebrations with HeyGen, and get a heart-warming recap video for your team, audience, or family in just a few minutes.

Relatives and customers living abroad often receive very generic English cards. Create just one video and use the AI video translator to share Christmas greetings and holiday messages in 175+ languages, with perfectly matched lip sync and your own cloned voice.
How the holiday video maker works
