The film follows Buddy, who as an orphan baby crawled into Santa's sack on Christmas Eve and ended up back in the North Pole.
There, Santa's elves decide to take him in and raise him as one of their own. Then, when he finds out that his real father, Walter Hobbs is on the naughty list, Buddy travels to New York to meet his real family and spread some Christmas spirit across the city.
From Will Ferrell's hugely adorable Buddy the Elf to Zooey Deschanel's sweet but unenthusiastic Gimbels worker, Jovie, the film is brimming with loveable characters that have stood the test of time.
