Our Favorite Holiday Movies of All Time
Elf
Deirdre Hering:
my favorite holiday movie is definitely elf. i am not a will ferrell fan by any means, but buddy is such a departure from the characters that he usually plays. he’s sweet and sensitive, and it’s really fun to watch him experience new york city for the first time—skulking through the holland tunnel, watching him eat gum off the sidewalk, pressing all the buttons in the elevator at the eimpire state building. plus, i’m loathe to admit it, but that scene where he sings “baby it’s cold outside” with an weirdly blonde, pre-superfame zooey deschanel is like, way cute.
