Google publishes 48 AI tips for travel and holiday plans | Keryc
The holiday season is all about efficiency, creativity, and less stress. What if artificial intelligence could be the perfect helper to decorate, plan trips, and even enliven family photos? Google just published 48 ideas and prompts that combine tools like Google Photos, Gemini, and other features to simplify all of that.
Photos and creativity: turn memories into something new
If you have old photos or want to give your images a festive touch, Google Photos brings very practical options. For example, try Nano Banana inside the editor to reimagine a photo in almost any holiday style you can imagine.
Open the Create tab in Google Photos.
Look for the "Create with AI" section and pick a template, like the holiday sweater one.
Add your photo and enjoy the result.
Got old family pictures? You can also restore or animate them to bring memories to life. And if lighting is tricky when you want to capture the magic, Camera Coach gives instant tips; if you want to go deeper, explore Pixel Camera and Pro Controls to improve your shots.
Decoration, organization and visual moodboards
When inspiration is visual, Mixboard (from Google Labs) helps you conceptualize ideas with AI support. It's perfect for putting together decoration schemes, color combinations, or a gift feed.
Use Mixboard to create idea boards.
Mix photos, palettes, and text to iterate quickly on the look of a party.
If you're the type who organizes from your living room, these tools save you time and deliver concrete results without technical fuss.
Plan trips and more visual itineraries with Gemini
Planning a getaway for the holidays or next year? Google suggests checking its 2025 travel trends for inspiration. Also, the latest model, Gemini 3, brings generative interfaces that make responses more interactive.
In the Gemini app you'll see options to select a visual layout or dynamic view in the toolbar. Try a simple prompt in the app like:
plan a three-day trip to Rome next summer
and you'll get a visual, interactive itinerary you can explore, edit, and share. It's like having a guide that also shows maps, schedules, and visual suggestions.
Home, deliveries and chores: Ask Home and new capabilities
Keep control of what happens at home during the season with the new Ask Home capabilities. These features use AI to do deeper analysis of activity, help you track deliveries, and coordinate household tasks without opening twenty apps.
Did the package arrive on time? Who took care of the tree? Ask Home can give you a clear, actionable summary.
Parties and menus: instant creativity
Planning a gift exchange or a dinner? Gemini Live is perfect for live brainstorming. You can ask for ideas for creative rules in a White Elephant game or generate a themed menu and invitations to send via chat or email.
Ask for game suggestions and rules.
Generate menus for cookie swaps or dinners.
Create invitation text with the tone you want: formal, fun, or minimalist.
Small practical tricks mentioned in the guide
Quick photo touch-ups with the "Help me edit" function in Google Photos.
AI templates in the Create tab for instant results.
Restore and animate old photos to revive memories.
Camera Coach for composition and lighting on the spot.
Mixboard for AI moodboards if you think in images.
Gemini 3 offers dynamic views and richer interfaces to plan trips and tasks.
Ask Home centralizes tracking of deliveries and household matters.
In the end, the idea is simple: AI doesn't replace your taste or decisions, but it speeds up the creative and organizing process. Want to adapt the same photo to several festive styles? Want to build a visual itinerary to test routes and schedules? These tools are made for that.
Final reflection
Google's proposal is more practical than spectacular: 48 concrete tips that bring together features that already exist (and some new ones) so you spend less time organizing and more time enjoying. If you're up for trying them, start small: reimagine a photo or ask for a dinner menu; you'll see how much the rest simplifies.
