Live the Movie – Elf

In our “live the movie” series of features, we like to offer Boxwishers novel and exciting ways to experience their favourite films, but where to start with Elf? The 2003 Christmas comedy starring Will Ferrell as Buddy, a man raised by elves in the North Pole who heads to New York to find his biological father is a festive feast of ideas and activities.

Some are innocently silly, such as Buddy’s long list of things to do with his newly discovered father Walter (James Caan): “First we’ll make snow angels for two hours, then we’ll go skating, then we’ll eat a roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish – we’ll snuggle!”, others are not to be repeated like Buddy’s being arrested or fighting with an instore Santa Claus and there are those that are beyond the realms of reality – hanging out with Papa Elf or driving a sleigh above Central Park. However, after sifting through these masses of memorable movie moments, we bring you five fantastic ways to celebrate the holidays Elf-style.
