Snowman Dance Clips to Remix
The pyjama version first, the one this year’s wave is doing: the “mine forever” couple, the red pants and the lift. Then the snow version, biggest first: the green gown, Sia’s own post, a mom and her son, best friends in black coats, Paris, Seoul. Then the rest: a Christmas tree that falls over, a wedding dress, a dad and his daughter, and this week’s posts. Every clip has two dancers.

@bensonsecretacc on TikTokWhat Is the Snowman Dance on TikTok?
The snowman dance is a fifteen-second couple dance to the chorus of Sia’s “Snowman”, the part that goes “let’s go below zero and hide from the sun”. Two people face each other, take hands, and swing, spin and twirl around each other on the beat. One goes under the other’s arm, they turn together like a quick waltz, and it ends in a hug or, in the newer version, with her jumping up into his arms.
There are two looks. The classic one is outside at night in the falling snow, in long coats, the way couples in Russia first did it. The newer one is inside by the Christmas tree in matching pyjamas: the two start side by side with their hands behind their backs, spin, swing, and finish with a lift or a piggyback. Both are the snowman dance, and the clips below have both.
It is a couples’ dance first, which is why TikTok’s top suggestion for the search is “snowman dance couple”, but moms dance it with their sons, dads with their daughters and best friends with each other. This page is a snowman dance AI maker: pick a clip, upload one photo per dancer, and the AI redoes that clip with your two faces, on its beat, with Sia still singing.
Timeline
Sia joins the “Snowman challenge”, singing the chorus in one breath. Same song, different trend; it puts “Snowman” all over TikTok.
@prostokom1 dances it with a partner on a snowy square, the earliest snowman dance we could find; Russian couples make it a winter thing.
Sia’s own account posts a couple dancing it in the snow, filmed by @alexander.hill: 25.8M plays.
@mariajuterud dances it in a green gown in the snow, 27.4M plays and 4.1M likes, still the most-liked snowman dance.
@realjayllnn moves it indoors: matching red pants by the tree, spins and a jump onto his back at the end. 34.2M plays.
@nataliireynoldss’s “mine forever”, the pyjama version with the lift, gets 38M plays and 2.9M likes in four days and opens this season.
What Song Is the Snowman Dance?
“Snowman” by Sia, from her 2017 Christmas album Everyday Is Christmas. On TikTok it is the sound “Snowman - Sia”, used in about 760,000 videos. Most posts use the chorus, from “let’s go below zero” to “I love you forever”, which is where the dance and the spins sit.
The other “Snowman challenge” from December 2020 is a singing one: you try to sing the whole chorus in one breath. Same song, nothing to do with the dance. When people search “snowman challenge” in December they mean either, so this page is about the dance.
Snowman Dance vs. Other Christmas Dances
The snowman dance is a partner dance: two people hold hands, spin and lift. That is the difference from TikTok’s Christmas pyjama dance to “Deck the Halls x Blow the Whistle”, where two people dance the same moves side by side without touching.
The “mine forever” caption on this year’s posts comes from @nataliireynoldss’s clip. Searching “mine forever dance” on TikTok also brings up Chris Brown’s “Forever” dances, which are a different routine on a different song.
How to Make Your Snowman Dance AI Video
- 1
Pick the clip you want to be in
Every snowman dance AI video starts from a real clip. The pyjama lift, the green gown in the snow, the mom and son, Paris, the wedding dress: the clip decides the place, the outfits, the light and the moves.
- 2
Upload one photo per dancer
Image 1 becomes the dancer on the left at the start of the clip, Image 2 the one on the right. Full-body photos work best, one person per photo, face lit.
- 3
Generate and post it on the song
Your snowman dance video comes back at the clip’s length with Sia’s “Snowman” under it. Post it with #snowmandance or #snowmanchallenge and tag the person you put next to you.
Tips for a Better Snowman Dance Video
Full-body photos
The spins and the lift are the dance. A photo cut at the waist leaves the model guessing your legs, so use one that shows you head to toe.
Left and right matter
Image 1 takes the left spot at the start of the clip and Image 2 the right. In most pyjama clips the one who jumps into the other’s arms starts on the left.
Match the lift
In the pyjama clips one person carries the other at the end. Pick a clip whose lifter and lifted roughly match your two heights and builds, and it looks real.
The outfits come from the clip
The dancers you replace keep their clothes, so pick the clip by its look: plaid pyjamas, a gown in the snow, winter coats, a wedding dress.
Check the spins
Fast turns are where faces can slip. Watch the spin under the arm at full speed and run it again if a face changes.
Pricing
Each snowman dance video is one use (700 credits), whether you pick any length from 11 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.
- Only put someone in the dance who has said yes to it, ask a parent before using a child’s photo, and keep the AI label on the finished video.
Frequently Asked Questions

The snowman dance written out as text, for the open generator or any image-to-video model: a couple in Christmas pyjamas with the lift at the end, two people in the falling snow, a mom and son, best friends and a ball gown in the snow. Each one takes two photos, Image 1 on the left.
Couple in Christmas PJs
A couple from the photos does the TikTok snowman dance to Sia’s “Snowman” in a living room with a lit Christmas tree and a fireplace, both in matching red plaid Christmas pyjama pants and black tops. Vertical phone video on a tripod, both dancers head to toe in frame, one continuous take. No text, no captions, no logos, no watermark. Image 1 is the girl on the left, Image 2 the guy on the right; they start side by side with their hands behind their backs, turn to face each other, she spins under his raised arm, they swing and twirl around each other on “let’s go below zero”, and on the last line she jumps up into his arms and he carries her, both laughing. Each person keeps the face, hair, skin tone, age and build from their own photo for the whole clip. Audio: Sia’s “Snowman”, the chorus.
