Show Description:

“Elf” is the tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s toy sack as a child and is raised by elves at the North Pole. Buddy’s comparatively enormous size and lack of natural toy making skill forces him to face the realization that he is a human.

With the blessing of Santa, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs, a cynical workaholic with a wife Emily Hobbs and son Michael. He soon makes friends with his step-family, as well as Walter’s secretary Deb, and even finds love with a Macy’s holiday employee, Jovie.

However, Buddy also discovers that most New Yorkers no longer believe in Santa, which threatens Christmas, as Santa’s sleigh can only fly if people still believe. Through relentless cheeriness and a childlike adoration of Christmas, Buddy the elf attempts to save the day and mend his relationship with his estranged dad.
