Champagne Birthday Trend: Pop the Bottle, Freeze in Black and White
Upload a single photo and become the star of this viral champagne moment: approach a park bench after dark, open the bottle, watch champagne spray high as the scene shifts to black and white with HAPPY BIRTHDAY! text overhead. Or spray from an SUV sunroof on city streets at night.
The champagne birthday trend is a TikTok birthday format: seated on a bench outdoors at night, you open champagne, spray shoots upward, and everything becomes black and white with "Happy Birthday" text in white. Create your own from a single photo, either matching the original or choosing the sunroof scenario.

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. Cropped here to hide her birthday message; the Champagne pop option recreates this with your image and includes a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! header.
The template footage for the sunroof option: she rises through a boxy SUV's sunroof on a waterfront road after dark and sprays champagne above the skyline. Sunroof night generates this scenario from your image, featuring a black SUV and ending with a confetti cannon explosion.

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 template also sends a facial close-up to preserve your likeness.
Sunroof night: waist-up photo, looking toward camera, with good lighting. Your shirt and hairstyle come from your image.
No sunglasses and avoid hats that obscure your face.
Background doesn't matter: the bench, cityscape and vehicle come from the template.
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.

Video prompt
Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same park at night, the same long grey concrete bench on the red brick paving, the same tree trunk, lamp posts, lawn and small white house behind, the same one fixed camera, the same timing and moves, and the same switch to black and white at the moment the champagne sprays, with the same white words HAPPY BIRTHDAY! at the top of the frame. The ONLY change: the woman with long straight dark hair in the black blazer and black lace trousers, who walks in with the champagne bottle, sits on the bench and pops it, is now the person in [Image 1].
The birthday person = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes from [Image 1], with shoes that fit the outfit; if [Image 1] shows only the upper body, invent the rest so it matches naturally. Never the black blazer and the black lace trousers from the video unless [Image 1] shows them. NO long straight dark hair unless [Image 1] shows it: the hair color, length and style of [Image 1]. The same real person in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends recognize them at once, also while they walk in, while they laugh with the head back and in the black-and-white part. Never morph, never drift back to the original woman's face.
THE MOVES, second by second, exactly as in [Video 1]:
00:00-00:02: the person walks in from the right with a dark champagne bottle in one hand and turns to the camera.
00:02-00:03.3: they sit down in the middle of the bench, the bottle upright on the bench at their side, and smile at the camera.
00:03.3-00:06: the cork pops; the picture turns black and white; a tall jet of champagne shoots straight up from the bottle like a fountain, high above the bench, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! writes in at the top with small sparkles. The person laughs and looks up at the jet.
00:06-00:10: the spray falls back as drops and white foam on the bench and the paving; the person sits still and smiles at the camera, still in black and white, the words still at the top.
Real live-action phone footage at night, clear face, no distortion.
Avoid: other text or captions, logos, a brand or label on the bottle, watermarks, extra people, morphing, facial distortion.
Anatomy rules: one head only, on the person's own shoulders. Exactly one person. Two arms, two legs, five fingers on each hand. One bottle. A face never appears on hands, legs or clothes.

Video prompt
Create a 10-second, vertical 9:16 ultra-realistic birthday celebration video, like a real phone video at night.
The main character is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), the hairstyle, skin tone, body proportions and clothing from [Image 1], so their friends recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also while they laugh with the head back. Never blend faces.
THE CAR: a boxy black luxury SUV with a square body, a flat roof with an open sunroof, round headlights and a spare wheel on the back, glossy black paint. No badges, no emblems, no grille logo, no lettering, no readable number plate. The same car in every frame.
THE PLACE: a wide palm-lined boulevard in a city of tall glass towers at night, the towers lit up, warm street lights, light traffic. The same place in every frame.
The main character emerges naturally through the OPEN SUNROOF, with the upper body above the roof and the lower body inside the car. The character must NOT stand on the roof or the hood. A separate driver remains seated inside the car, seen only as a dark shape behind the tinted window.
0-1.5 s: the character holds the champagne bottle with both hands and shakes it vigorously above the sunroof as the car rolls slowly along.
1.5-3 s: champagne sprays upward. The character tilts the head backward and raises the bottle toward the sky.
3-4.5 s: the character keeps spraying, slightly adjusting the bottle angle, celebrating.
4.5-6 s: the character raises the bottle higher, then brings out a small gold party confetti cannon (a short cardboard tube with a twist base) with the other hand and points it at the champagne spray in the air.
6-7.5 s: the character twists the confetti cannon: a burst of gold confetti flies up into the spray, and the champagne spray bursts into a big radial splash of golden droplets and confetti high above the car, lit by the city lights.
7.5-10 s: the golden droplets and the confetti drift down. The character lowers the bottle and the cannon, turns toward the camera and laughs, while the car keeps rolling.
Camera: a side view from the roadside that tracks the car, handheld phone footage, one continuous shot, no cuts, no orbiting, no big zooms. Keep the character, the bottle, the cannon and the splash clearly visible.
The splash is liquid and paper confetti only: real droplets and mist. No fire, no smoke, no sparks, no explosion.
Audio: an upbeat original party tune, the champagne spray, the pop of the cannon, laughter and city traffic. No words.
Anatomy rules: one head only, on the character's own shoulders. Two arms, five fingers on each hand. Exactly one person outside the car. Do not merge the character with the driver. No text, no captions, no logos, no label on the bottle, no watermark.

Sunroof night is a scenario built from your image, 10 seconds: you emerge through a black luxury SUV's sunroof on a palm-tree boulevard in a glass-tower city at night. You shake the bottle and spray skyward, then trigger a small confetti cannon into the spray, exploding into golden drops and confetti as the vehicle continues. A driver is inside, visible only as shadow.
How Smew AI makes it: Champagne pop uses Seedance 2.5 to modify the source reel and replace the person with the one from your image, at 720p; the reel's audio is restored after processing. Sunroof night uses Seedance 2.5 directly from your image, without intermediate frames, preserving your facial features, and includes party music. 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.
The Champagne pop option recreates that editing from the reel: your result includes the monochrome conversion and the white HAPPY BIRTHDAY! header built in. Want "to me", your name or age added? Insert another text line in TikTok, Instagram or CapCut after downloading. Sunroof night has no text, leaving space for your own.
What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?
Problem
Fix
You get long straight dark hair or a black blazer you do not have
The woman in the reel has both. The prompt bans them unless your photo shows them. Use a sharp, recent photo and run it again.
Your face looks less like you
You sit far from the camera in the reel, so the face is small. Use a close, front-facing photo in good light; the template sends a close-up of your face as well.
The title text looks different
The model redraws the reel, so the letters can come out a little different. Run it again, or add your own text after you download it.
A badge or a brand shows on the car or the bottle
The prompts ban badges, logos and labels. Run it again.
The spray looks like smoke or sparks
The prompt asks for liquid and confetti only. Run it again.
The model refuses a photo
Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

FAQ
Champagne Birthday trend questions
What is the champagne birthday trend?+
It's a birthday video format on TikTok and Instagram from May 2026: seated on a bench outdoors at night, you open champagne, spray rises and everything becomes black and white with Happy Birthday text in white. On Smew AI you upload one image and receive your viral champagne birthday sequence, no bottle or cleanup required.
How do I make the champagne birthday video with AI?+
Choose a version, upload one image of yourself and click Generate. Champagne pop recreates the actual trend reel with your face; Sunroof night builds the vehicle scenario from your image. Smew AI functions as an AI birthday video generator: you receive a 10-second vertical champagne opening sequence with audio, ready to share. That's how to create the champagne birthday video without filming or editing.
Is there a birthday champagne trend prompt?+
No creator has published a prompt for the viral champagne birthday sequence: the champagne birthday CapCut template is proprietary, and tutorials only demonstrate navigation. Our Champagne pop option recreates the actual reel frame by frame instead, requiring no prompt from you. The Sunroof night prompt is based on what AI template platforms use for the vehicle version, with brand names and toy weapons removed.
What song is used in the champagne pop birthday trend?+
Most posts and tutorials feature "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls, explaining why many search for the it's raining men birthday trend. Some creators choose different audio. Your Champagne pop output includes the source reel's audio; you can replace it with the trend song when posting.
Can I add my age or "to me" to the video?+
Yes. The Champagne pop output already displays HAPPY BIRTHDAY! overhead. Add your age, name or "to me" as a text overlay in TikTok, Instagram or CapCut before posting. Sunroof night includes no text, leaving space open.
What is the sunroof or G-Wagon champagne version?+
It's the vehicle variant of the trend that AI template platforms introduced in October 2026, sometimes called the G-Wagon birthday video or the g wagon champagne clip: you rise through a boxy black luxury SUV's sunroof at night and spray champagne above the city, then a confetti cannon explodes the spray into gold. Our version displays a black SUV without badges or branding, suitable for any birthday.
Can I use it for a birthday reel on Instagram or a TikTok?+
Yes. The sequence is vertical 9:16, fitting TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories. It's the birthday format TikTok creators continue posting daily, so share it as your champagne birthday reel, for your celebration or a friend's, and maintain the AI label.
Is the champagne birthday trend for adults only?+
Yes. The sequence features alcohol, so this template is for adults: upload only images of adults, never children or teenagers.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?+
Processing takes 5 to 15 minutes. The Generate button displays exact credit pricing before purchase; Champagne pop costs slightly more than Sunroof night because it modifies the complete reel. If processing fails, credits are returned.
What other birthday bottle trends are there?+
Related birthday bottle formats include: the champagne slam or champagne smash trend, where a bat shatters the bottle on a surface, and the classic champagne spray trend without freezing. People also search the Brazilian names, trend da champanhe or trend do champanhe de aniversário, and the Spanish name, el trend de la botella para cumpleaños.
