Catching Santa Selfie at a glance

Catching Santa Selfie is a ready-made AI Video template on TalkPix. In the studio it is called Caught With Santa. You film a midnight selfie and spot Santa behind you at the tree. He freezes, bites a cookie, then walks over and joins your selfie. You add 1 photo; the template supplies the scene, the camera moves and the sound. The result is a 10-second vertical (9:16) video with sound, made by Seedance 2.5 (Standard); Seedance 2.0 Fast (Economy, eligible clips up to 15 seconds), for 70 credits at 480p, 160 at 720p; 30 credits at 480p, 60 at 720p on the economy tier.

This is the photo-with-Santa format turned into a 10-second comedy: one front-camera selfie shot, with Santa as a separate character.

All the details

What happens in the video

You film a whispered front-camera selfie in a dark living room at midnight and spot Santa behind you, crouched at the tree. You both freeze. He raises a finger to his lips, bites a cookie, walks slowly over and leans into your selfie with the cookie still in his teeth while you laugh in disbelief.

The Caught With Santa video is vertical (9:16), the format TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts use, so the file posts without cropping.
