Part 2. Advanced Creation: Generate Unique Christmas Cards
If you prefer sticking with a traditional Christmas card but refuse to make it look generic, you can still rely on Filmora to help you create something unique.
The AI Image Generator on the Filmora desktop version is now powered by Nano Banana Pro, which delivers high-quality, detailed artwork in any style you want. The only limit is your imagination, since you can guide every detail of your AI-generated Christmas card through a prompt!
The steps are still simple. There's also an option to upload a photo as a reference, or even use it to include yourself in your Christmas card.

Step 1: Create a new project and head to Stock Media > AI Media > AI Image inside the editor. Select the Nano Banana Pro model for a higher-quality result.
Step 2: Enter a prompt and insert a photo reference if you want to create an AI Christmas card with a photo. Then, hit Generate.
Prompt Tip: Clearly describe the style of Christmas card you want to create. Some of the style keywords you can use are: cut-paper craft, watercolor holiday illustration, 3D clay-style Christmas characters, vintage postcard look, minimalist flat illustration, or hyper-realism.
The prompt we are using for this example:
"A minimalist Christmas card (16:9 ratio) in a cut-paper craft art style, featuring a cozy snow-covered village under a starry night sky, layered paper textures, warm glowing windows, and gently falling snow; include the woman from the reference transformed into a Santa costume, standing near a decorated evergreen tree beside a garland-wrapped wooden fence, with a clearly visible ‘Merry Christmas' message integrated into the design.”
Step 3: Find the AI-generated Christmas cards in the My Files panel. Then, drag it to the timeline to customize it however you like. You can add more caption text, Christmas-themed overlays, music, stickers, or any extra effects.
Step 4: Export and save the Christmas card you just made. You can either save it in video format or select "JPG Image Sequence” or "PNG Image Sequence” for an image format.
Part 3. Decision Guide: Which Method Should You Choose?
Torn between making an AI Christmas video card or a still image card? Start by thinking about what you want to share and how much time you have. Use this comparison table to help you decide more easily:
| Christmas Video Cards | Christmas Cards | |
|---|---|---|
| Creative Control | Results are based on selected templates | Control the entire look using prompts and style descriptions |
| Time Needed | Fast | Fast |
| Output Style | Animated video with audio | Still image or artwork |
| Prompt | Optional | Required |
| Ideal For | Social media posts, video greetings, holiday messages | Artistic designs, prints, or digital cards |
Even better, you can try and experiment with combining both methods. Generate a Christmas card using the AI Image tool, then upload that artwork into the Image to Video feature. After that, you can guide the animation with a prompt and bring motion to your card.
