It’s just not Christmas without Elf, and this year, you can stream this classic Will Ferrell comedy on two of the biggest streaming services.
Twenty years ago, who would have guessed that Elf would become one of the all-time great Christmas movies? It was only the second feature film helmed by Jon Favreau, and it was one of Will Ferrell’s first leading roles following his long stint on Saturday Night Live. That combination proved to be too irresistible for audiences to pass up, which is why Elf is now celebrating two decades as a perennial holiday hit.
Ferrell stars as Buddy the elf, who just happens to be biologically human. Buddy grew up in the North Pole surrounded by elves who work for Santa Claus. He just doesn’t fit in very well among the elves. One holiday season, Santa gives Buddy the inspiration to travel from the North Pole to New York City so he can meet the father he never knew. That’s the basic setup for Elf, and now we’re going to tell you where you can stream it this holiday season.Where is Elf streaming?
If you want to see Buddy venture from the North Pole to New York to find his long-lost father, head to Max to begin streaming.
