This Christmas, the holiday spirit goes full throttle as Jason Statham steps in as Santa’s stunt double in Holiday Ops 2024, the latest blockbuster campaign from World of Tanks. Packed with explosive stunts, larger-than-life tank action, and a tongue-in-cheek twist on festive cheer, this short film pushes the boundaries of holiday advertising.

Collaborating with 100% and creative agency Matter and Energy, Glassworks played a key role in delivering the VFX magic that brought this action-packed spectacle to life. From integrating seamless digital effects with practical stunts to enhancing the adrenaline-fueled sequences, our team worked tirelessly to craft a visually stunning piece that blurs the lines between Hollywood and the holidays.

Directed by the brilliant Nez Khammal and shot at Warner Bros. Studios in London, the campaign embraces a meta "film-within-a-film" concept. The story follows Jason Statham stepping in to save Christmas—though his version of "saving" involves hijacking the set and turning it into an action extravaganza.

As a long-time partner of Wargaming and World of Tanks, we’re proud to have contributed to their bold creative vision once again. With this year’s campaign, we combined Hollywood spectacle with festive charm, delivering a seasonal takeover that is as explosive as it is entertaining.

Happy (bloody) Christmas from all of us at Glassworks.
