AI Lunar New Year Video Maker for Chinese New Year, Tết and Seollal
VdoBloom's AI Lunar New Year video maker turns one photo of you, your partner or your family into a short greeting for Chinese New Year, Vietnamese Tết or Korean Seollal. The people from your photo appear among glowing red lanterns, plum blossom, paper-cut decorations and mandarin oranges, and the greeting is typeset on screen with your names and a one-line message.
Choose the greeting line: 新春快乐 恭喜发财 (Simplified Chinese), 新年快樂 恭喜發財 (Traditional Chinese), Chúc mừng năm mới (Vietnamese), 새해 복 많이 받으세요 (Korean) or Happy Lunar New Year. The text is set after generation, so every character is drawn correctly instead of being painted by the AI. The default video costs 7 credits; there is no subscription and one-time credits never expire.

When is Lunar New Year 2027?
Lunar New Year falls on Saturday 6 February 2027 and starts the Year of the Goat (also called the Year of the Sheep). Tết and Seollal are celebrated on the same day. Make your video a few days ahead so it is ready for New Year's Eve.
How much does a Lunar New Year video cost?
Pricing is per video in credits: the default greeting (Seedance 2 Mini, 4 seconds, 480p) is 7 credits and a 5-second 720p clip is 17 credits. New accounts get credits at sign-up, there is no subscription to start, and one-time pack credits never expire. The exact price shows before you generate, and a failed video refunds its credits automatically.

Which photo works best?
A sharp, front-facing photo where every face is well lit works best. The photo becomes the first frame, so outfits and the setting carry into the video.
Solo, couple and family photos all work. Large group photos with very small faces give weaker results.
Upload only photos of yourself or of people who agreed to it. You confirm you are 18 or over before uploading.
