Snapchat's Lens challenges are almost similar to ones on TikTok but have a themed-lens incorporated.
The first challenge launched involves selecting a specific lens, and singing along Jingle Bells by Gwen Stefani.
To participate in the Snapchat challenge, open the app’s Lens Carousel, tap the smiley icon in order to access Lens Explorer, then choose the “Jingle Bells” challenge option, once done, send your Snap to the Gwen Stefani Challenge story.
