TL;DR
Rising · as ofA Christmas pfp is your profile picture swapped for a festive one for the season — usually a favourite character, or you, in a red Santa hat. On TikTok the swap happens on 1 November, the day the Halloween pfps come down, with “it’s time to change your pfps” posts and slideshows of ideas to pick from. In 2026 the big version is anime characters in Santa hats over snowy streets, and the season is only starting: it peaks in December.

@couple.stuff6 on TikTokWhat Does Christmas PFP Mean?
PFP means profile picture. A Christmas pfp is the festive one you switch to for the season: a character you like, a pet, or yourself, in a Santa hat, with snow or fairy lights behind. On TikTok the switch has a start date, 1 November, and a group feel — friends, fandoms and couples change theirs together.
The posts around it are of two kinds. The first is the reminder: “it’s time to change your pfps”, usually SpongeBob or an anime character in a Santa hat, posted the day after Halloween. The second is the ideas slideshow: ten or twenty pictures to choose from, sorted by what you are into — anime boys, anime girls, K-pop, football, cats, the Grinch — or by who you share them with, since a matching Christmas pfp is two halves of one picture, one for each of you.
The 2026 season has a clear favourite look. The biggest post so far is a slideshow of anime characters drawn as black-and-white manga panels, with only the Santa hat in red, over real photos of snowy streets at night. Fandoms make their own sets of it — Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, JoJo, Blue Lock — and a CapCut template appeared within a day that turns your selfie into the same thing.
This page goes one step further, without CapCut: instead of collecting other people’s characters, you put yourself in the post. Pick one of the Christmas pfp slideshows, add a selfie, and AI redraws every shot with you in it, in that shot’s style and a Santa hat, over the same cuts and the same sound.

How to Make a Christmas PFP Video With AI
- 1
Pick a Christmas pfp post

- 2

A clear photo of your face, close up, in good light. For a matching pair, add the second person as a second photo.
- 3
Make it and post it
The video comes back as long as the post you picked, with you in every shot and the original sound. Post it on 1 November with everyone else, and screenshot your favourite shot as your new pfp.
Tips for a Better Christmas PFP Video
Close up beats full body
Most shots in these posts are head and shoulders. A selfie from the shoulders up gives the AI your face at the size it needs.
Keep your hair visible
Hats, hoods and caps in the photo fight the Santa hat, and your hair is the first thing each drawing uses to look like you.
Pick the style you want to keep
Each shot is redrawn in its own style, so the post decides the look: manga for the black-and-white one, cartoon for SpongeBob, photo-like for the K-pop set.
Matching pfps need both photos
Use the matching version with a second selfie as Image 2. The shots alternate between you, and two-character shots put you side by side.
Your pfp is one frame of it
Pause on the shot you like best and screenshot it: that is your Christmas pfp, and the video is how you announce it.
Post it on 1 November
The trend is about switching together. Post the video when your friends post theirs, then change your pfp back in January.
Pricing
Each Christmas pfp video is one use (700 credits), whether you pick any length from 7 to 15 seconds. The price is on the button before you start, and nothing else is added.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Christmas pfp mean?
PFP stands for profile picture. A Christmas pfp is a festive profile picture you use for the holiday season — a character, a pet or yourself in a Santa hat, with snow or Christmas lights — usually from 1 November until January.
When do people change to Christmas pfps?
On TikTok, on 1 November, the day after Halloween, which is when the “it’s time to change your pfps” posts go up. Some anime fandoms start much earlier: Jujutsu Kaisen and Blue Lock fans were posting theirs in August 2026.
What are anime Christmas pfps?
Anime or manga characters with a red Santa hat added, usually over a snowy background. The 2026 favourite is the black-and-white manga panel with only the hat in red, from @baixy__’s post of 2 November. Remix that post here and every panel is you instead.
How do I make a Christmas pfp of myself?
Pick one of the Christmas pfp posts on this page, add one clear selfie and make the video. Every shot comes back with you in it, in a red Santa hat, in that shot’s style; pause on the one you like and use it as your pfp.
Can I make matching Christmas pfps for couples or friends?
Yes. Choose the matching version and add a selfie of each of you. The shots alternate between the two of you, and where a shot has two characters, you stand side by side in matching Santa hats.
Is there a CapCut template for anime Christmas pfps?
Yes: from 3 November 2026 tutorial posts link a CapCut template called “Christmas PFP”. It puts your photo into one fixed scene. This page needs no CapCut and puts you into the TikTok post you pick, with its own cuts and sound.
What are some good Christmas pfp ideas?
From the biggest posts: anime characters in Santa hats, SpongeBob and Patrick, the Grinch, horror-movie villains in Santa hats, cats in Christmas jumpers, K-pop idols in Santa dresses, and matching cartoon pairs for two friends. Or yourself, in any of those styles.
Are there Christmas pfp ideas for boys?
Yes. The most common ones for boys are anime and manga characters (Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, Blue Lock), football players and rappers in Santa hats. The JoJo and Jujutsu Kaisen posts on this page are the ones to remix.
Why can only eight of the posts be remixed?
The other three are still pictures held for a second or two each — a photo carousel, the matching cats and the couple pairs. A remix needs a clip that moves, so those are on the page as ideas to look at.
Is this the same as the Charlie Brown Christmas filter?
No. The Charlie Brown Christmas filter is one fixed scene: a scan line turns you into a Peanuts cartoon on Snoopy’s doghouse. Christmas pfp posts are slideshows of characters in Santa hats, and the remix puts you into every one of them.
What is the Christmas PFP AI prompt?
The selfie in every shot prompt is in the AI Prompts section below. It starts: "Remix @Video1, a Christmas pfp slideshow." Paste the rest into any AI video tool that accepts your photos.
It’s Time to Change Your PFP
Pick a Christmas pfp post, add one selfie, and get yourself in every shot in a red Santa hat, ready to post on 1 November with everyone else.

Christmas PFP AI Prompt
The prompt this page sends with the post you pick, so you can run the same remix in any video model that takes a reference clip and a photo. It keeps the post’s cuts, styles and sound and only puts you in every shot, in a Santa hat; the other versions add a second person, turn every shot into manga, or put your pet in instead.
Selfie in every shot
Remix @Video1, a Christmas pfp slideshow. Keep the video exactly as it is: every cut, the order and timing of the shots, each shot's drawing style (black-and-white manga, colour anime, cartoon or photo), its framing and background, the snow, the Christmas lights, any caption text on screen, and the original sound. In every shot, replace the character with the person in @Image1, drawn in that shot's own style: the same face shape, eyes, skin tone, hairstyle and hair colour, and any glasses, piercings or facial hair, so a friend knows who it is at a glance, wearing a red Santa hat with a white fur trim. Keep their face near the middle of each shot, where a profile circle would crop it. Do not add text, do not add or remove shots, and keep the length of @Video1.
