PLOT: On Christmas Eve, an orphaned baby crawls into Santa Claus’s toy sack and is accidentally transported back to the North Pole. Raised as an elf by Papa Elf, Buddy grows up much larger than his peers and eventually discovers the truth: he is a human. Buddy travels to New York City to find his biological father, Walter Hobbs—a cynical, workaholic publisher on Santa’s “naughty” list. As Buddy tries to bond with Walter, his stepmother Emily, and his young half-brother Michael, his childlike innocence and chaotic festive energy clash with the cold reality of Manhattan. Along the way, he falls in love with department store employee Jovie and helps save Christmas when Santa’s sleigh runs out of spirit .
