The trailer opens with a festive scene set in the North Pole, where Santa’s workshop is not what you’d expect—it’s a high-tech command center bustling with activity, preparing for Christmas Eve. Dwayne Johnson plays Jack, a superhuman agent who works for Santa (played by J.K. Simmons), whose operation is now threatened by a powerful, dangerous villain named Krampus (played by Idris Elba). Krampus has a sinister plan to destroy Christmas and take control of the magical power that fuels the holiday spirit, threatening the balance between magic and humanity.
Chris Evans’ character, Callum, is an elite soldier on special assignment, but he’s soon recruited by Jack to join the North Pole’s covert team to stop Krampus. The two leads share witty banter throughout the trailer, hinting at their bickering yet entertaining dynamic. Callum, initially skeptical of the magical world he’s thrown into, quickly finds himself in over-the-top situations, from chasing reindeer-powered sleighs to battling mythical creatures across various locations.
The trailer reveals thrilling action sequences, including a high-speed chase on Christmas Eve through a snow-covered city and an intense confrontation between Jack and Krampus. There are also glimpses of heartwarming moments that emphasize the importance of family, tradition, and belief in the magic of the holidays. The film balances humor, action, and the holiday spirit, with Johnson and Evans bringing their trademark charisma to the roles.
The teaser ends with a climactic shot of Jack and Callum charging into battle alongside Santa, ready to save Christmas and the world. The tagline: “This holiday season, the magic is real—and so is the danger.”
