30 Fun ‘Elf’ Movie Quotes That Are Full of Cheer

Christmas will be here before you know it and if you still have not caught the Christmas spirit yet, we’ve got just the thing to bring you some festive joy. The classic holiday movie Elf is one of the best seasonal films out there and it just so happens to be amazingly quotable. When Elf premiered in 2003, the idea of Will Ferrell running around New York City in green tights alone was reason enough to make us want to watch.
