Forget the dog filter, it's time to be a reindeer.

It's time to switch up that overused dog lens for something more festive this weekend.

Snapchat's given Mashable a preview of some of its holiday lenses -- its facial-recognition overlays -- that are set to roll out from now until Christmas.

These include lenses to turn you into a reindeer, an angel, and a festive version of its usual flower crown filter.

The company is also rolling out branded versions. The Hollister turns you into Rudolph, Nordstrom has a snow globe, and Bloomingdale's sends Santa and his sleigh running around your head.

Additionally, the app's also added a Snapchat filter "game":

Happy Snapping this holiday!
