Start with a small Christmas hint
Open the ChatGPT app on your phone and begin a new chat. Send a gift emoji or mention Christmas in your message. This works like a hidden signal. If the holiday feature is active, ChatGPT will guide you to the next step automatically.

Upload a clear selfie when asked
ChatGPT will prompt you to upload a selfie. Choose a clear photo with your face visible. It does not need to be fancy or edited. This image helps the system personalise what comes next, so a simple, natural photo works best.

Wait while the magic happens
After uploading your selfie, ChatGPT takes a few moments to process it. Behind the scenes, the image is used to create a short festive video. You do not need to do anything during this time, just wait for the result to load.
