Christmas emotes
Santa Hat Emote Your character in a Santa hat, as animated emotes.
Santa Hat Emote puts a Santa hat on the character your chat already knows and remakes your emotes in it — Hi, GG, Sip, Sleep and the rest — sized for Twitch, Discord, 7TV and BTTV in one zip. A single hat emote is 1 credit; a full Christmas outfit version of your character is a 2-credit sheet.

These four are demos we made for this page by drawing a Santa hat and snow onto our existing sample emotes in an image editor. They were not made by the generator. In the app, the hat is drawn into every frame of the animation, on your own character, and follows the head as it moves.
Two ways
One hat emote, or a whole Christmas set
- Just a hat, 1 credit per emote: pick a preset and write a custom move such as “waves, wearing a red Santa hat”. Good for one or two seasonal emotes.
- A Christmas version of your character, 2 credits once: make a holiday outfit sheet (Santa hat, knit sweater, scarf), confirm it, and every emote you make from that version wears it. Good for a full December set. Details on the Christmas emotes page.
Either way the face, colours and proportions come from your locked character sheet, so viewers recognise the character straight away.

Ideas
Christmas emote ideas
- Hi in a Santa hat — the easiest one to recognise at 28 px.
- Sip with hot cocoa — swap the coffee with a custom move.
- Sleep under snow — “sleeps in a Santa hat while snow falls”.
- Gift — “holds out a wrapped present” for gift subs.
- Merry Christmas chat — a sign emote, up to 20 characters.
Bold red and white read well on both dark and light chat themes. Avoid tiny details like bells or patterns on the hat; they vanish at the smallest size.
Timing
When to make them
Twitch may review new emotes before they go live, and December is busy, so make the set in late November and upload it in the first week of December. The workbench shows a Christmas pack reminder from 20 November.
Keep your everyday set: on 7TV you can switch emote sets for the season, and on Twitch you can swap the holiday emotes back out in January.
Small print
What to expect
AI results vary: a hat can tilt differently from one frame to the next, or cover an ear. You see each emote animated before you download it, can redo any single one for 1 credit, and failed generations refund their credits automatically.
Animated emotes on Twitch need monetization setup, open to every streamer since May 2026; static PNGs come in the same zip.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a Santa hat to my emote?
Lock your character, then make an emote with a custom move like “waves, wearing a red Santa hat” (1 credit). For a whole set, make a Christmas outfit sheet once (2 credits) and every emote from it wears the outfit.
Can I add a Santa hat to an emote I already have?
Upload the emote or its character art as your picture, lock it as a character, and make new emotes with the hat. We don’t edit an existing GIF frame by frame; the new emote is drawn fresh from your character.
Will it still look like my character?
Yes. Every emote is drawn from your locked character sheet, so the face, colours and proportions stay; only the hat and outfit are added.
How much does a Christmas set cost?
A hat emote is 1 credit. A Christmas outfit sheet is 2 credits, then 1 per emote. New accounts get 3 free credits; packs start at $9.99 for 15 credits.
When should I upload Christmas emotes to Twitch?
In the first week of December, so any review is done before the holidays.
