Secretly, we love making [silly holiday videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naughty-or-nice-video), but this year, the [Christmas clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-very-ai-yule-log) can be cheesier than ever thanks to [fake snow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-storage) and wind effects. Indy Mogul's tips are easy to follow and the necessary supplies are affordable and accessible to anyone. The clip is hilarious, the hosts of BFX may be nerds, but they're entertaining ones, that's for sure. They know it and play it up, which is why even if you're not into making an artificial blizzard in your yard, you can still appreciate their openly geeky attitudes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **DIY Special Effects:** Incorporating DIY special effects can add a unique and personalized touch to videos, allowing for innovative and cost-effective productions. - **Affordable DIY Projects:** The increasing popularity of DIY projects offers an opportunity for businesses to provide affordable and accessible tutorials and supplies for consumers to create their own customized products. - **Personalized Holiday Decor:** Allowing consumers to create personalized holiday decor with DIY tutorials and supplies can lead to product differentiation and increased customer loyalty. ### Who This Affects Most - **Video Production:** Incorporating DIY special effects and providing tutorials on affordable and accessible supplies could lead to cost-effective and innovative productions. - **Crafting and DIY Supplies:** The increasing popularity of DIY projects presents an opportunity for businesses to offer affordable and accessible supplies for consumers to create their own unique products. - **Holiday Decor Industry:** Providing personalized holiday decor options through DIY tutorials and supplies can lead to differentiation in a competitive industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Building Igloo Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inland-iglu.md) - [Portable Fog Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ulanzi-fm01-filmog-ace-portable-fog-machine.md) - [Portable Ice Resurfacing Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zamboni-rentals.md) - [At-Home Slushie Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-slushi.md) - [Tent-Safe DIY Heaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heater-bloc.md) - [DIY Miniature Science Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-volcano-in-a-box.md) - [Unpredictable Festive Ad Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowfall.md) - [Efficient At-Home Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-ice-maker.md) - [Coffee Ground-Made Music Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowie.md)
