J.J. Watt may well be the most-renowned football player the National Football League has ever seen. For five years, he has wreaked havoc on the football fields while with the Houston Texans and the Arizona Cardinals, winning three NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards. Off the field, he is also known for his charity work as a fitness influencer and fun-loving personality. Today, Watt adds yet another career to his resume as he stars with his family in a holiday advertisement for Dick's Sporting Goods ad campaign that brings old-school Christmas magic to life.
The Watt Family: A Powerhouse of Talent and Support
A powerhouse of talent and support, that is the Watt family. J.J. has two brothers, T.J. and Derek, who also play professional football. Family ties for the Watt family run very deep, as J.J. has accredited much of his values of hard work and dedication to his siblings and parents.

How NFL Players Invest"A Watt Holiday Classic" Commercial: A Vintage Christmas Tribute
Starring J.J. Watt, this one is called "A Watt Holiday Classic," an offbeat spoof of the most popular Christmas movies. Using many elements from these classics, including some humour from “Home Alone”, “A Christmas Story”, and even some elements and situations from “National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation”, this commercial comes together with an entertaining holiday narrative.
It was quite entertaining to watch J.J. and his brothers, T.J. and Derek, and his parents revisit some scenes from these films in this version. The comedy timing of this commercial is an instant favourite with the funny references to holiday movie clichés.
A Holiday Family Affair
But perhaps for J.J., it's more than a commercial for Dick's Sporting Goods; it's the celebration of family and tradition and that joy of the season. Watt is accompanied by all three of his brothers and his parents. Whether you're a fan of the heroics on the field by J.J. or of the off-field charm, the fun ad tells everyone to remember the holiday magic and how a little bit of the Watt family's assistance would be just what is needed.
