What is the Christmas Photobooth AI: Your Own Black-and-White Holiday Photo Strip?
The Christmas photobooth trend is back for the holidays: a slow phone shot along a black-and-white photo booth strip of two friends in fluffy winter coats, one cute pose per frame, with a line of a Christmas song over each photo. Upload one photo, add a friend or partner if you want, and this template makes the strip for you, no booth needed.
The format first went big in December 2025, when @paige_go posted a strip from an event photo booth with one pose per line of a Christmas song; it has 2.9 million views. It came back right on cue a year later. On 7 November 2026 the Korean creator @fromliayoon posted "Cutest photobooth trend for the holidays", two black-and-white strips of her and a friend, and it passed 3.4 million views and 669,000 likes within a week. Her second take, filmed inside the booth, added 1.1 million, and a couple's colour-strip take by @lameloxdd passed 870,000 views, which made the couple version popular too.
The template runs on Nano Banana 2 and returns a vertical photo of a four-frame strip lying on a cozy blanket with fairy lights: your own face in every frame, four different poses, no watermark and no prompt to copy. Add the song lines as text in TikTok when you post. The trend videos on this page are credited to their creators; the poster image is AI-generated.
What you get
A vertical photo of a black-and-white photo booth strip on a beige knit blanket with fairy lights. The strip has four frames: you (and your friend, if you add one) in winter coats and scarves, smiling cheek to cheek, hiding your faces, winking with a finger heart and laughing.
Solo or with a friend
With one photo you get a solo strip. Add a second photo and the two of you share every frame, like the original best-friend and couple posts.
Which photos to use
Adults only, one person per photo, chest up, face clear and toward the camera. Use your own photo or one of someone who said yes.
