The moment

Your video has the takeover

The Grinch pet filter moment is the takeover. Your video opens on your pet's own photo, then the words “The Grinch” sweep down the screen and wipe it away.

Behind the words in the Grinch pet filter video sits the same pet in the same spot, now covered in thick green fur, in a red Santa hat and suit, with the Grinch's sly grin, holding the pose to the end.

  • Your pet's own photo first
  • “The Grinch” sweeps down
  • Green fur, Santa hat and suit
  • The sly Grinch grin

Background

Where the Grinch pet filter trend comes from

The Grinch pet filter plays on the Grinch, the green, Christmas-hating character from Dr. Seuss's 1957 book How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, whose sly grin and Santa suit come back every December.

The Grinch pet filter trend began on TikTok in early November 2026. On November 8 a video of a French bulldog, a tabby cat and a shaggy dog each turning into the Grinch passed 640,000 views in five days, and pet owners have been posting their own Grinch dogs and cats every day since.
