What is the New Year Letters AI Video trend?
In the New Year Letters AI Video, you climb giant white marble year letters along a mountain ridge at golden hour. You pull up onto the first digit, stand on top with your arms open, and the camera flies back until the whole year is in frame. A second version has you push the last digit of the old year aside and step onto the new one. A pet can make the same climb from one full-body photo.
It works because it is a simple New Year greeting with a huge, silent first frame. Template sites post a new edition each fall as the year changes. There is no year in the page name, so you can come back to it every December and add the year in your caption.
Trend status: Evergreen — A format people keep coming back to all year. Status is set by the TrendMe editors and reviewed on Nov 12, 2026.
