What Holiday Toast does
A shimmer turns your photo into a candlelit holiday dinner with a decorated tree and snow outside the window. Your subject, now in a cozy red sweater, lifts a glass and toasts the camera.
Raise a glass at a holiday dinner
You sit at a candlelit holiday table and raise a glass toward the camera. Waist-up photos work best.
