Get ready for a jolly good time as Warner Bros. Discovery celebrates the beloved holiday classic, 'Elf', with a special annual event! Mark your calendars for December 12th, as this will be the first-ever 'December the TwELFth' celebration. Released in 2003, the New Line film, starring the hilarious Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel, and more, will be honored with a day of fun and festivities.
The festivities will kick off with a special noon performance of 'Elf the Musical' in New York City's iconic Times Square. Throughout the day, fans can snap photos at pop-up stations, browse unique shopping options, and even write letters to Santa Claus. But that's not all! 'Elf' will return to theaters on December 12th with a special 'Buddy's Sing & Cheer Along Edition', featuring on-screen lyrics, trivia, and visual gags. The film follows the adventures of Buddy (Ferrell), an elf who travels to New York City to find his human father.
To make the celebration even more memorable, Warner Bros. Discovery will be matching American Red Cross donations up to $100,000 on that day. Additionally, fans visiting the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood during the holiday season can explore the Warner Bros. Studio Store, where they'll find original costumes and 'Elf'-themed window displays. And for those who love all things 'Gimbles', there will be a special merchandise display dedicated to the iconic department store from the movie.
Critics have praised 'Elf' for its hilarious performances, with Michael Rechtshaffen writing, "Will Ferrell is hilarious in this delightful elf-out-of-water holiday confection." He further highlights Ferrell's ability to infuse his character with a 'rousing subversive element' despite his innocence. So, get ready to embrace the holiday spirit and join the celebration of 'December the TwELFth'!
