Come laugh, unwind, and step into the season with a movie that delivers joy in its brightest, silliest form. Whether you’re gathering with friends, bringing the family, or simply looking for a festive escape, ELF offers the perfect mix of comedy, warmth, and wide-eyed wonder. It’s an easy, cheerful way to kick off the holidays together.

Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, a human raised at the North Pole who discovers he’s not actually an elf—and heads to New York City to find his father. His journey is a whirlwind of childlike enthusiasm, holiday chaos, and heartfelt connection as Buddy’s boundless cheer crashes headfirst into the cynicism of the real world. Along the way, he transforms everyone he meets—from a jaded department store staff to a fractured family—proving that joy, kindness, and a little Christmas spirit can change everything.With its unforgettable humor, quotable moments, and genuine heart, ELF has become a modern holiday classic that continues to delight audiences of all ages.

Everyone, while supplies last, will receive a holiday-themed gift bag that can be colored while enjoying the movie and a chance to win tickets to Middletown Lyric Theatre’s production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A Live Radio Play.
