What's in the picture

A real red Santa hat and the family Christmas tree behind, fairy lights blurred into soft circles: the photo you always try to take on Christmas Eve, with a pet who actually keeps the hat on.

As a photo shoot it's crisp and true to life, with proper lighting, and anything they wear is a real costume photographed exactly as it is.

Who it suits

Almost everyone at Christmas: a framed print for the grandparents, a mug for the stocking, or cards with your own pet on the front. It's the look we're asked for most from November.

Questions

Does my pet need to wear a Santa hat in the photo?

No. The hat is added in the picture and fitted around their ears, so any clear photo of their face is fine.

When do I need to order for Christmas?

Each product has its own recommended last order date for your country. To the UK, order a framed print by Monday 7 December, a greeting card by Thursday 26 November, a mug by Wednesday 9 December. Every date, for every country, is on our Christmas order dates page (fancy.pet/christmas). Order dates are recommendations, not guarantees: December posts are busy, so earlier is kinder.

Is it a real photograph?

Not a new one. It's a photo-style picture in the look of a professional studio shoot, made by an AI image model from the photo you upload. Nobody comes round with a camera, and it's ready in about a minute.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing. Add a photo and you see the finished picture in about a minute, with no account and no card. Seeing it is free, and we'll email you the full-size file free too. You only pay if you choose a print, mug, card or other product.
