Santa Nice List Video: Your Kid’s Photo on Santa’s List

TL;DR
Rising · as ofThe Santa nice list trend is a Christmas CapCut template: an AI Santa checks his Naughty & Nice List, and the big reveal is your child’s photo, in a golden frame, a snow globe or a gift box. Parents post it as “who was good this year?”. Last year’s versions reached 8M plays, and the new 2026 template passed 100,000 uses in its first four days, so it is rising fast toward December.

Santa Nice List Videos to Remix
Eleven Santa nice list clips to remix: this year’s scroll and golden frame first, then last year’s hits, most liked first: snow globes, a gift box, two sisters by the fire, a grown-up in the frame. Most were posted in Spanish, “quién se portó bien este año?”, who was good this year. The last clip is a real-life Santa reading a name off his book, shown for comparison.

@miamigosanta on TikTokWhat Is the Santa Nice List Trend?
Santa’s nice list is the old Christmas promise: Santa makes a list, checks it twice, and the kids who were good get presents. The TikTok version turns it into a short AI video. Santa sits in his workshop and reads the list, or holds a glass snow globe, or opens a golden gift box; the glass clears, the sparkles settle, and the picture at the end is your child’s.
It spreads as a CapCut template: you add one photo, the template drops it into Santa’s frame and adds the name. Most of the big posts are from Spanish-speaking parents, captioned “quién se portó bien este año?”, who was good this year, but the video needs no words. Parents send it to grandparents, post it for the kids, or make one for a partner who “was very good this year”.
A Santa nice list video made here works the same way, without CapCut: pick the clip, add the photo, and the AI redraws the reveal with your child in it, in the light and style of the clip, with its music.

How Does the Santa Nice List Work?
In the story, Santa and his elves watch all year, and Santa writes every child on the Naughty or the Nice list; the song says he checks it twice. TikTok asks the same questions every November: what is the Santa nice list, who makes it, when does Santa update it? The usual family answer: the list is final on Christmas Eve, and it is never too late to get on it.
That is what the video is for. A Santa nice list video is “proof” from the North Pole that your child made it: Santa found the name, smiled and showed the photo. Some families play it after a good week, some as a gentle nudge in December.
Santa Nice List Video or a Real Santa Reading Names?
There are two kinds of Santa nice list videos on TikTok. In one, a real-life Santa reads names off his list or his book, like @santaclaus.pe and @miamigosanta, and parents comment their child’s name hoping to be read next. In the other, an AI Santa reveals a photo, which is the template on this page.
The AI version is the one you can make in a minute: it shows your child’s face, not just a name. The real-Santa clip is on this page for comparison but cannot be remixed, because it says another child’s name out loud.
How to Make a Santa Nice List Video
- 1
Pick a Santa nice list clip
The scroll and golden frame, a snow globe, the gift box, two kids by the fire. The clip you pick is the Santa, the room and the music you get.
- 2
Add one photo of the good kid
A clear, smiling photo, face to the camera. It can be a baby, a teenager, a grown-up or the dog.
- 3
Create it and send it to the family
You get the clip at its own length with its music. Post it with #nicelist and “who was good this year?”, or send it to the grandparents.
Tips for a Better Santa Nice List Video
Use a photo with a smile
The reveal is the happy ending, and the AI keeps the expression from your photo. A big smile or a laugh reads best inside the frame.
Face and shoulders, clear light
Frames and globes are small on screen. A close, sharp photo keeps the face recognisable; a full-body shot from far away gets lost.
Christmas clothes help
A red sweater or a Santa hat blends into the frame. Any photo works, though: the AI matches the light of the clip.
Two kids? Pick the sisters clip
The fireplace globe already holds two children. Add two photos, one per child, and use the Two kids prompt.
Change the name card
Some clips write a name under the photo. Type your child’s name into the prompt box (“the name under the frame reads Emma”) and the AI writes it in.
Pricing
Each Santa nice list 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.
A single use is $9.90; packs of 4 and 8 uses, or a monthly plan that posts trend videos to your accounts for you, cost less per video. A render that fails is refunded automatically.
Autopilot plans
Every month we turn the newest trends into meme videos and post them to your accounts. Each post is one of the plan’s videos, and any you make yourself come out of the same count. Cancel any time.
One-time video packs
Pay once and use them on any trend template, at any length. The credits never expire, and the other video tools can spend them too.
Use it responsibly
- Only upload photos of yourself, of people who said yes, or of your own pets.
- Do not use it to make someone look like they did something they did not.
- Label the result as AI when you post it; TikTok and Instagram both have an AI-generated tag.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Santa nice list?
In Christmas tradition, the list Santa keeps of the children who were good this year; the naughty list is the other one. On TikTok it is also a video trend: Santa checks his list and reveals your child’s photo, made with a CapCut template or an AI remix like this one.
How do I make a Santa nice list video with my child’s photo?
Pick one of the Santa nice list clips on this page, add one clear photo of your child and create it. The AI puts your child in the picture Santa shows, in the frame, the snow globe or the gift box, and keeps the clip’s music.
What does “quién se portó bien” mean?
It is Spanish for “who was good?”, usually “quién se portó bien este año?”, who was good this year. It is the caption most Santa nice list templates are posted with, and the name of the 2026 CapCut template.
Is there a free Santa nice list video?
The CapCut templates are free to use in the CapCut app, with its watermark and its layout. Here you pay per video and get it without a watermark, with your choice of clip, and you can change the scene with a prompt.
Can Santa say my child’s name?
Not in his voice: the remix keeps the clip’s own music. You can put the name on screen, though: type it in the prompt box and the AI writes it under the photo, where the templates write “Nombre”.
Can I put an adult or a pet on the nice list?
Yes. Add any photo: the grown-up clip on this page shows an adult in the golden frame, and the Pet prompt puts your dog or cat in Santa’s snow globe in a little Santa hat.
How long is the video?
As long as the clip you pick, from seven to fifteen seconds, with the music on it: the gift box and snow globe clips run about ten seconds, this year’s scroll and golden frame fifteen. The price is one use, whichever clip you pick, and the length is set by the clip.
What is the Santa Nice List AI prompt?
The scroll and golden frame prompt is in the AI Prompts section below. It starts: "Santa checks his nice list and your child is on it." Paste the rest into any AI video tool that accepts your photos.

Santa Nice List AI Prompts
The Santa nice list AI prompts behind the versions on this page: the scroll and the golden frame, the snow globe, the gift box, two kids on the list and the dog. Each keeps Santa’s own face and puts your photo in the reveal.
Scroll and golden frame
Santa checks his nice list and your child is on it. A warm, cinematic vertical video in Santa’s workshop at the North Pole: elves at their benches, candles and garlands, toys on every shelf. Santa sits in a carved wooden chair and unrolls a long parchment scroll titled “The Naughty & Nice List” down to the floor, reads it, smiles and nods. He stands, opens his hands, and a spiral of gold sparkles sweeps across the screen. The sparkles settle into an ornate golden frame wrapped in pine and red bows, and inside it is the photo of Image 1. Image 1 is the child (or grown-up) on the nice list: the face that appears in the picture Santa shows at the end. Santa keeps his own face; only the picture takes the face from Image 1, with its hair, skin tone, age and clothes. Keep Santa, his workshop, the lights, the sparkles, the camera, every cut, the timing and the sound of the reference clip exactly as they are.
