I feel like every Easter, we get the usual flood of bunny videos—cute, colorful, very “on theme.”
But this year (2026), something feels different.
I’ve been scrolling through TikTok/Shorts lately and noticed a mix of content that’s way more diverse than before. Not just cute or funny anymore—there’s actually a “scary Easter bunny” trend popping up too.
What I’ve been seeing (quick breakdown)
1. Funny bunny videos (still dominant)
These are everywhere and still perform really well:
-
Bunnies acting like humans (cooking, dancing, working
) -
Over-the-top reactions (slipping on eggs, chaotic scenes)
-
Super short looping clips
Feels like these work because they’re easy to watch + replay.
2. The unexpected one: scary bunny content
This one surprised me.
Some creators are doing:
-
Dark forest / horror-style bunny scenes
-
Glitch / analog horror edits
-
Sudden jump-scare clips
And weirdly… they get a lot of engagement.
I think it’s the contrast (cute vs creepy) that makes people stop scrolling.
Small experiment I tried
Out of curiosity, I tried generating a few clips using HitPaw VikPea instead of filming anything.
Just typed simple prompts like:
-
“Easter bunny in a spring garden with colorful eggs”
-
“Dark bunny in foggy forest, horror lighting”
And it actually worked better than expected.
What stood out to me:
-
No filming needed
-
Easy to test different styles (funny vs scary)
-
Results are already “short-form ready”
It feels like this kind of tool is why we’re seeing more creative variations this year.
My takeaway
Easter bunny videos aren’t just seasonal content anymore—they’re becoming more like a format people remix in different ways:
-
Funny → easy engagement
-
Scary → strong reactions
-
AI-generated → lowers the barrier to create
Curious what you think
-
Have you noticed the scary Easter bunny trend too?
-
Do you think funny or creepy performs better right now?
-
And has anyone else tried generating this kind of content with AI?
Would love to hear what kind of Easter content you’re seeing (or creating).
