This is it, The One, the daddy of all holiday movies. I love this film so much that I even quote it out of season, and I honestly can\u2019t think of anything more pure than the golden retriever energy I get from Buddy the Elf. I feel like he\u2019s my holiday spirit animal, from his love for singing to his obsession with sweets. On my first ever snowy trip to NYC I remember telling my team of how much it reminded me of the bottled sunshine that is Elf. If you can\u2019t tell by now, this movie is my ride or die festive film every year and I&#8217;m especially looking forward to watching it with my wee nieces and nephews!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nothing says Crimbo like a festive movie for all the family.
