What is an animated Thanksgiving card?

It is a thanksgiving video card: a few seconds of you at the holiday table, raising a glass to whoever watches it, sent by message or posted instead of a paper card. Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026, in the US.

Our template makes it from one photo: you keep your face, hair and outfit. The table, the turkey, the pumpkins, the candles and the autumn leaves come with the template.

Questions

Is the animated Thanksgiving card free?

No. A template video uses 750 credits at 480p (1,500 in HD), about $10 with a credit pack. Starter and Pro plans pay half (375) and Unlimited pays 30%: 225 credits a video, about $2.25. The 100 free credits you get when you sign up are not enough for one video.

Can I send it as a thanksgiving ecard video?

Yes. Download it from My creations and send it by message or email, or post it: it is a short vertical video with the sound mixed in.

What is in the glass?

A glass of white wine at the table, as in the template; you only raise it, nobody drinks on screen.

Do I keep my outfit?

Yes: the template keeps your face, hair and outfit from your photo. Only the table and the room are new.

Whose photo can I use?

Adults only: photos of children are not supported. Your own, or a friend’s who agreed to it. No famous people. Uploads go through an automatic safety check.

Can I post my animated thanksgiving card?

Yes. It is a finished 9-second vertical video with the sound mixed in, so you can post it to TikTok as it is.

Does the video have sound?

Yes: your video comes with the clip’s sound, mixed in. If TikTok flags the sound for copyright, swap in a sound from TikTok’s sound library when you post.
