Credit: Wargaming World of Tanks Holiday Ops 2026 Holiday Ops 2026 kicks off on December 5, 2025, and continues through January 12, 2026. Players can look forward to a magical winter adventure filled with festive missions, dazzling rewards, and holiday surprises. Benedict Cumberbatch welcomes tankers in the holiday garage, giving special assignments and creating a truly unique atmosphere. Players will be able to earn exclusive celebrity-themed rewards, including his in-game appearance as a tank commander, complete with the original voice. Alongside the in-game festivities, the World of Tanks team continues its annual holiday tradition of debuting Holiday Ops brand-new original short film. This year's story follows Sebastian, a shy office worker who can't quite find the courage to talk to his crush, Sarah. Enter Benedict Cumberbatch as a witty, slightly eccentric therapist who helps him face his fears through clever, unconventional exercises. The result is a warm, funny, and gently surreal story about courage, connection, and a shared love of World of Tanks – a festive reminder that bravery often begins in the most unexpected ways. 'I'm thrilled to be part of World of Tanks' Holiday Ops this year,' said Benedict Cumberbatch. 'It's a game that celebrates strategy, teamwork, and thinking a few steps ahead. I really enjoyed collaborating with the team and bringing a new flavor to that world – along with a bit of festive spirit. Wishing all the players a fantastic holiday season.'
