Scholar’s largest holiday campaign to date began as a simple brief and quickly snowballed into a full-scale universe. One powered with heart, humor, and a healthy dose of wonder. Step inside and you will find the blueprint of how our team dreamed, crafted, and animated a world where a fluffy Yeti, three mischievous Mice, and one fearless Gingerbread bring holiday magic to life.

Bringing these characters to life meant treating them like real performers, shaping their quirks, refining their gestures, and letting their personalities lead the animation.

With over 30 unique spots spanning from in-store to Times Square, Scholar set out to build a world worth believing in, and our team answered with craft, precision, intention, and imagination. Every gesture, sparkle, and burst of personality was designed to make these characters feel authentic, charming, and alive.

Welcome to the Target Holiday World.
