      Will Ferrell's Elf Sets 2025 Theatrical Rerelease Date With New Content   
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------   
      Warner Bros. Discovery has prepared an exciting gift for Elf fans: an   
      annual celebration honoring the classic Christmas movie, along with a   
      theatrical rerelease and new content on the way.   
      
      Starring Will Ferrell, the holiday feature - released on November 7,   
      2003 - is widely considered one of the best Christmas movies of all   
      time. The Jon Favreau-directed film also stars James Caan, Zooey   
      Deschanel, Mary Steenburgen, Ed Asner, and Bob Newhart.   
      
      What new content is in the 2025 Elf theatrical rerelease?   
      Elf is scheduled to return to cinemas on December 12. According to   
      The Hollywood Reporter, the theatrical rerelease of the film will also   
      feature "Buddy's Sing & Cheer Along Edition," along with on-screen   
      lyrics, trivia, and some visual comedic bits.    
      
      Warner Bros. Discovery will also honor the beloved movie with the first   
      annual celebration called "December the TwELFth," set to commence on   
      December 12. Elf the Musical will kick off the festivities with a   
      special noon performance in New York City's Times Square.    
      
      This one-day festivity will also include Elf photo stations, some   
      shopping experiences, an opportunity to write to Santa Claus, and   
      Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood - a visit to the Warner Bros. Studio   
      Store, which would allow guests to see the film's original costumes.   
      WBD will also match all donations to the American Red Cross made that   
      day, up to $100,000.   
      
      Elf tells the story of Buddy Hobbs (Ferrell), a man raised in the North   
      Pole by Santa's elves. When he learns he's actually human, he sets off   
      for New York, where he meets his biological father, Walter Hobbs (Caan).   
      
      Elf premiered in 2003 to strong critical praise and quickly became a   
      major box-office hit, securing its place as a beloved holiday cult   
      classic. The movie later inspired the 2010 Broadway production   
      Elf: The Musical as well as the 2014 stop-motion TV special   
      Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas.
