The Christmas PFP AI prompt and model
Christmas PFP AI is made with GPT Image 2.6 by OpenAI. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- GPT Image 2.6
- Mode
- Photo to image
- Length
- One still image, vertical 2:3
- Input
- 1 photo
- Identity lock Your photo is the only source for the face, skin tone, hair and build, or a pet's fur and markings, with no beautifying or slimming.
- Santa hat A classic red hat with white fur trim and pom-pom, sized to the head, centred and kept off the eyes and ears.
- Outfit and scene A red knit sweater in a snowy evening or by a fireplace and tree, with soft bokeh lights.
- Round-crop framing Head and shoulders in the middle with nothing important near the edges.
- Rules Adults and pets only, no nudity, five fingers per hand, no text, logo or border.
Using the subject of Image 1 (a person or a pet), create one photorealistic vertical 2:3 Christmas profile picture, framed head and shoulders with the face centred.…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Chat prompts that only say add a Santa hat often move or resize the face, so the result looks like a different person.
- The hat floats or sits on top of the hair instead of following the head, because the prompt never says to fit it to the head.
- Without framing instructions the face lands off centre and a round profile crop cuts off the hat or an eye.
- Photos of pets get clothes, human hands or a changed fur colour unless the prompt says to keep the markings.

How to make your Christmas PFP AI image
Upload one photo
A clear, front-facing photo of you or your pet. For a pet, a photo with the whole face visible works best.
Pick the scene
Snowy Santa hat or cosy fireplace.
Generate and download
Press Generate and one vertical 2:3 image comes back, usually in about a minute.
Set it as your profile picture
Upload it in TikTok, Instagram, Discord or WhatsApp and crop to the circle; the face stays centred.
What is the Christmas PFP AI trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
A Christmas PFP is a profile picture dressed for Christmas: a Santa hat on the head, snow or tree lights behind, sometimes a scarf and mittens. To make one from your own photo with Christmas PFP AI, you upload one photo of you or your pet and an AI redraws it that way, so you get an AI Christmas PFP instead of a hat sticker cut onto the photo by hand. People post them from November into December so the profile looks festive for the whole season.
The trend comes back every year. Christmas-themed profile-picture slideshows were already being posted in December 2023, and Santa hat on PFP tutorials from December 2025 reached about 359,000 views. In 2026 it returned in early November: the most-watched post we found, from 2 November 2026 with the caption that anime Christmas PFPs are back, has about 1.7 million views, and tutorials for Christmas PFP templates in CapCut and Hypic followed within days. Most of the viral posts are anime characters in Santa hats; the version for ordinary photos of people and pets is the one this page makes. No original creator is known.
Posts use many different sounds, so there is no single trend sound. The videosi version is one still image in vertical 2:3: you choose the scene (a snowy evening with scarf and mittens, or a cosy fireplace with the tree behind) and the red Santa hat is placed on the head, with the face kept as it is in your photo. The head and shoulders sit in the middle of the frame so a round crop, as on TikTok, Instagram or Discord, keeps everything that matters.
Christmas PFP AI: shot by shot
- Step 1
Your photo
Your face, skin tone, hair and build are taken from your photo; for a pet, its fur colours and markings.
- Step 2
Santa hat
A red Santa hat with a white trim and pom-pom is fitted to the head, centred and clear of the eyes.
- Step 3
Christmas outfit
A red knit sweater, plus a scarf and mittens in the snowy scene, replaces what you wore.
- Step 4
Scene
Snowflakes and golden bokeh behind you, or a decorated tree, gifts, candles and a fireplace.
- Step 5
Round-crop framing
Head and shoulders stay centred with space around them, so the circle crop keeps the face and the hat.
Tips for a better result
Face the camera
A straight-on photo in even light gives the model the most to keep your face the same. Avoid sunglasses and heavy beauty filters.
One subject per photo
Crop a group photo down to one face, or one pet. Make a second picture for a friend and post matching ones.
Show the whole head
Leave room above your hair: the Santa hat needs the space, and a photo cropped tight at the forehead gives a squashed hat.
Pets: show the face, not the body
A close photo of the face with both ears in frame lets the hat sit properly and keeps the fur markings accurate.
Good to know before you make a Christmas PFP AI image
- The hat, the outfit and the background are new; the face and hair come from your photo.
- The result is one still image with no sound, not a video, and it is vertical 2:3 rather than square: crop it to a circle in the app where you use it.
- It is made for photos of adults and pets; photos of children are not allowed.
- Likeness is not guaranteed, and the page does not redraw anime or cartoon characters. A failed or blocked generation returns its credit automatically.

Christmas PFP AI: questions
What is a Christmas PFP?
A Christmas PFP is a profile picture (PFP) with a Santa hat and Christmas scenery, and the trend came back around 2 November 2026 with anime characters in Santa hats reaching about 1.7 million views on TikTok. videosi's Christmas PFP AI makes the same look from 1 photo of you or your pet, with no prompt.
How do I make a Christmas PFP of myself with AI?
Upload 1 clear photo of yourself on the videosi Christmas PFP page, pick 1 of 2 scenes (snowy or fireplace) and press Generate. You get one vertical 2:3 image with a red Santa hat, usually in about a minute, centred so it crops cleanly into a circle.
Is there a Christmas PFP AI generator or app?
Yes, videosi works as a Christmas PFP AI generator, or Christmas profile picture AI, in the browser on a phone or computer: 1 photo in, 1 vertical 2:3 image out, and there is no app to install. It is independent and not affiliated with TikTok, CapCut, Hypic, Google or OpenAI.
How do I put a Santa hat on my profile picture?
To put a Santa hat on your PFP with AI, upload your profile photo to videosi, choose a scene and generate; the red Santa hat is fitted to your head and the rest of the picture is redrawn as a Christmas scene. If you only want a hat sticker on the unchanged photo, an editor with stickers is the simpler tool, because this page also changes the clothes and background.
Is there a TikTok filter or CapCut template for Christmas PFP?
Yes, creators share CapCut and Hypic templates for Christmas PFPs, and tutorials for them were posted in early November 2026. videosi is not a template: it renders a new 2:3 image from your own photo, so your result is not the same frame as everyone else's.
How do I make an anime Christmas PFP?
The anime version usually takes an existing character picture and adds a Santa hat and snow with a template. videosi does not redraw anime or cartoon characters; it makes the Christmas PFP from a real photo of you or your pet, in photographic style.
What AI model and prompt does the Christmas PFP use?
The videosi Christmas PFP uses OpenAI's GPT Image 2.6 with a 5-part prompt: identity lock, Santa hat, outfit and scene, round-crop framing and rules. The full prompt is not published, and you never need to write or paste one.
How much does a Christmas PFP cost?
Each videosi Christmas PFP image costs 1 credit, and credit packs start at $6.90 for 10 credits (India pays $5.99 for the Single pack). Credits never expire, there is no free tier, and a failed or blocked generation returns its credit automatically.
Why doesn't my Christmas PFP look like me?
The usual causes are a heavy beauty filter, sunglasses, a side angle or a small face in a group photo. On videosi, use 1 front-facing photo in soft light with space above your hair. Likeness is not guaranteed, because a new outfit and festive lighting can shift small details.
What does PFP mean?
PFP stands for profile picture, the small round or square image shown next to your name on TikTok, Instagram, Discord and similar apps. A Christmas PFP is that picture changed for the season, usually with a Santa hat and a snowy or cosy background.
Can I make a Christmas PFP of my pet?
Yes, upload 1 photo of your cat or dog with its whole face and both ears in frame, and videosi keeps its fur colours and markings while fitting a red Santa hat to its head. Cat Christmas PFPs with Santa hats by a fireplace were among the posts in the November 2026 wave.
Can I make matching Christmas PFPs with friends?
Yes, make one image per person on videosi: each upload is 1 photo and 1 credit, and choosing the same scene gives you a matching set. A single image with several people is not supported; one face per photo keeps each likeness correct.
Can I make a Christmas PFP of my child?
No, the videosi Christmas PFP is made for photos of adults and pets, and photos of children are not allowed. Use photos of adults who have agreed to it, and crop group photos down to one face per upload.
Is the Christmas PFP trend still going?
As of 7 November 2026 the Christmas PFP trend is just taking off: the biggest 2026 post is from 2 November, and the earlier posts we found are from December (Santa-hat PFP tutorials in December 2025 passed 350,000 views). Going by earlier years, it is likely to stay active until Christmas, and the videosi page works for it all season.
What song or sound is used in Christmas PFP videos?
No single sound is confirmed for the Christmas PFP trend: posts use original audio or Christmas songs of the creator's choice. The videosi version is a still image with no sound, so you add any track you like when you post it.
