The champagne birthday trend is a TikTok birthday format: seated on a bench outdoors at night, you open champagne, spray shoots upward, and the clip turns black and white. Creators usually add "Happy Birthday" text in the edit. On Smew AI, Champagne pop follows that 10-second reference at 480P, and Sunroof night follows the 4-second sunroof reference. The model replaces the person. It does not invent a birthday title; add one after you download if you want it.

What the Champagne Birthday video looks like

Here's the source reel. Your images replace the people shown, creating your version that follows identical camera angles with your own face. Each generation produces unique results.

Original reel by @beatrizzsilvab, 10 s
The source reel from @beatrizzsilvab (5 May 2026, 947,600 views on TikTok): she approaches a bench outdoors at night, opens the champagne, then everything becomes monochrome as spray rises. This preview is cropped so her birthday message does not show. Champagne pop keeps the reference footage, including its black-and-white moment, and replaces her with your photo. Add birthday words yourself after download.

The trend's template clip, 4 s
The template footage for the sunroof option is 4 seconds: she rises through a boxy SUV's sunroof on a waterfront road after dark and sprays champagne above the skyline. Sunroof night follows that clip and replaces her with your photo.

How to make the Champagne Birthday video on Smew AI

Everything happens in your browser. No editing software, no prompt writing, no watermark.

  1. Add your photo

    Click "Create your own" and upload your image, showing knees upward or complete body. Capture with your camera or select from your gallery.

  2. Press Generate

    The button displays the cost. Seedance 2.5 at 480P replaces the person in the reference clip with your photo and keeps the clip's action and soundtrack. Champagne pop is 10 seconds. Sunroof night is 4 seconds. You write nothing.

  3. Download or share

    Your video finishes within several minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Save it, share from your device, or access it later in your Library.

Which photo works best?

Upload one photo of yourself (an adult), showing your face clearly and in focus.

  • Champagne pop: knees-up or full-body shots work best, since the reel displays you head-to-toe on the bench. Your outfit comes from your image, so choose party attire. A clear, focused face helps the replacement stay recognizable.
  • Sunroof night: waist-up photo, looking toward camera, with good lighting. Your shirt and hairstyle come from your image. The clip is 4 seconds.
  • No sunglasses and avoid hats that obscure your face.
  • Background doesn't matter: the bench, cityscape and vehicle come from the reference clip.
  • Use your own image, or a friend's with permission. Adults only: this trend features alcohol, so never use images of children or teenagers.

Where did the Champagne Birthday trend start?

The champagne birthday trend emerged in Brazil during early May 2026, tagged #trendchampagne and #trendaniversario. Creators filmed themselves opening bottles on benches at night, then switched to monochrome as spray rose and added "Happy Birthday" text with their age on screen. The reel from @beatrizzsilvab on 5 May, celebrating her 29th birthday, got 947,600 views.

Between 19 and 21 May, CapCut AI templates generated the same champagne pop birthday sequence from single photos, and tutorials exploded: one posted 21 May reached 2.4 million views, another titled "its raining men birthday trend" on 20 May got 2.2 million, named after the popular soundtrack. It became a recurring birthday format TikTok continues promoting: a champagne pop birthday tutorial from 28 September has 827,400 views. Alternative names include the birthday champagne pop, the champagne bottle trend, and in Spanish, el trend de la botella para cumpleaños. Monthly US searches for "champagne birthday trend" climbed from 110 in July to 260 in September 2026.

In October, AI template platforms introduced a vehicle version: champagne sprayed from a black SUV's sunroof at night.

What happens in each version?

Champagne pop follows the source reel and replaces the person with your photo. Single static angle, 10 seconds:

TimeWhat happens
0 to 2 sYou enter at night carrying a champagne bottle
2 to 3.3 sYou settle onto a long concrete bench and smile toward camera
3.3 to 6 sThe cork flies, a high champagne spray rises and the image becomes black and white. Birthday words, if you want them, are already in the reference footage or you add them after download
6 to 10 sThe spray descends, you remain seated and smiling: the picture nearly stops

Sunroof night follows the 4-second reference: you come up through the sunroof of a boxy SUV at night and spray champagne. Your photo replaces that person. The driver stays in the clip.

How Smew AI makes it: Both versions use Seedance 2.5 at 480P to replace the person in the reference clip with the person in your photo. Champagne pop is 10 seconds and Sunroof night is 4 seconds. The clip soundtrack is restored after processing. The model is not asked to draw a birthday title. Processing takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the Generate button shows exact pricing before purchase. Each processing creates a fresh interpretation, so outputs vary.

How do creators make the black-and-white freeze and the Happy Birthday text?

In actual reels, creators film the opening and edit in CapCut: when spray rises they convert to black and white, reduce speed and overlay text like "Happy Birthday to me", "Hello 30" or their age in white script or capitals. The CapCut AI templates perform the same editing on an AI sequence generated from your image, so every champagne trend birthday sequence has three identical moments: the approach, the opening, the monochrome freeze.

Champagne pop follows that reference footage, including the monochrome moment when the spray rises. This page preview is cropped so the original birthday words do not show, and the model is not asked to redraw them. Add "to me", your name or your age in TikTok, Instagram or CapCut after you download. Sunroof night is 4 seconds and has room for your own text.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
You get long straight dark hair or a black blazer you do not haveThe reference person has both. Use a sharp, recent photo that shows your hair and clothes, and run it again.
Your face looks less like youYou sit far from the camera in the reel, so the face is small. Use a close, front-facing photo in good light and run it again.
You wanted birthday words on the videoThe model does not draw a title. The black-and-white look comes from the reference footage. Add your own text after you download.
A badge or a brand shows on the car or the bottleRun it again if a logo appears.
The spray looks like smoke or sparksThe reference clip shows a liquid spray. Run it again.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

Sound, captions and hashtags

Most champagne pop birthday trend posts feature "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls; tap the audio on any trend post to apply it. Your Champagne pop result includes the source reel's audio, which you can mute on the results screen. Sunroof night uses the 4-second reference clip's soundtrack the same way. Music belongs to copyright holders, and Smew AI grants no usage rights, so review platform policies before using clips in advertisements.

Keep it real and safe: it is an AI video. Make it with your own face or a friend's who said yes. In real life, never stand out of a moving car's sunroof, and never drink and drive.
