If, for you, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, then this is most definitely your stop. Everyone’s favorite wholesome holiday comedy, Elf, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year (we know), and what better way to celebrate than by donning the best Buddy the Elf merch this side of the North Pole?

Short of having a heaping Christmas breakfast of maple syrup spaghetti (we’ll get there someday!) or venturing out to the streets of NYC in full elf costume (Santacon’s over, folks), we’ve put together a list of the cheekiest and most spot-on merch for fans to enjoy as the big day comes around the corner. Whether it be for an ugly sweater party or just a cozy night in with a hot cuppa watching the movie for the 37th time, these little goodies are sure to bring out the Christmas spirit in anyone. And no, we did not include passionfruit spray!

Buddy the Elf Christmas Kitchen Towels

Hey, Pop-Tarts, marshmallows, and candy corn breakfasts can get kinda messy! This set of kitchen tea towels ensures all sticky accidents are promptly cleaned up before the cavalry arrives for the festivities. The set comes in a cute giftable bag, too.

Men’s Buddy “OMG Santa! I Know Him!” Pajamas

Like that viral Mariah Carey meme, but the exact opposite! Our love for spazzy Buddy has no bounds (the limit does not exist, honestly), and with these adorable PJs, you can leave those cookies for Santa and Rudolph in ~style.~

These also make for a fun Christmas pajama alternative for the whole family in case you want to shake things up.

“World’s Best Cup of Coffee” Color-Changing Mug

This is for the coffee stans out there! Buddy’s signature manic face pops up as hot liquid is poured into this ceramic cup — because the world’s best cup of coffee is the cup in your hand right now, after all — and honestly, his expression does the best job of providing that extra kick we need during sleepy winter mornings.

“Elf” Edition

The only way to make Monopoly even more crazy-exciting? Give it an Elf spin. From the Christmas-themed boards and cards to the little metal player figures (not to mention Buddy’s face, the poster child of non-chill, egging you on from the center of the board), your holiday game night will reach new heights of fun.

“Elf” Special Edition

If the holidays include some family road trips or vacations, make them a tad more seasonal via this classic toy with a twist.

Whether to entertain both Nice and Naughty kids on the go or as a stocking stuffer or white elephant gift, this limited-edition Etch A Sketch release is a special take on a beloved toy we all grew up with.

Women's Black Long-Sleeve Crew Neck “Christmas Cheer” Tee

We are JOYFUL in this house, OK!? Like the dark comedic undertones in the movie, there’s just something so sarcastically hilarious about this print that makes it perfect for wine moms, overextended parents, anxious shoppers, or anyone else white-knuckling their way through a hectic holiday season.

Elf Buddy Screaming Graphic Tee

Men’s 12 Days of Socks Advent Calendar

Why choose one design when you can have ’em all? This 12-day sock advent calendar is the best Elf merch gift you can get the person who wears the movie’s quirky quotes on their sleeve (or, er, feet). It’s a clever countdown gift, too, and gives your recipient something subtly cheerful to wear in the days leading up to Christmas in case they can’t go full Buddy, you know?

Men’s 15 Days of Socks Advent Calendar

Why choose one design when you can have ’em all? This 15-day sock advent calendar is the best Elf merch gift you can get the person who wears the movie’s quirky quotes on their sleeve (or, er, feet). It’s a clever countdown gift, too, and gives your recipient something subtly cheerful to wear in the days leading up to Christmas in case they can’t go full Buddy, you know?

“Elf” Waving Arm Wiper Blade Decal

Is there anything nuttier than seeing this thing on someone’s windshield as you’re driving along? It’s almost enough to put a smile on your face! And, well, you know, that’s a great thing ’cause smiling’s our favorite.

We particularly love this as a gift for grandparents — just imagine this greeting you as you come over to visit for Christmas.

“You Sit on A Throne of Lies” Ugly Christmas Sweater

Equal parts cheeky and homespun, this Fair Isle-type ugly Christmas sweater is one of the best pieces of Elf merch we’ve seen since it’s also kind of... chic? Two concepts we really didn’t expect to come together, but hey, that’s a Christmas miracle for you. (Also, lying is never chic, folks. Don’t lie.)

elf x Kitsch Collector's Bundle

Subtly on-theme, this collab with Kitsch is perfect for the Elf merch enthusiast who likes their stuff a bit low-key.

The bundle features four beauty essentials inspired by Buddy: a green glitter claw clip, a satin heatless curling set in a Buddy-approved candy cane print, a satin pillowcase, and two scrunchies.

“Elf The Movie” Logo Collage Hooded Sweatshirt

Comfy and unisex, this fleece hoodie is an original studio shop drop for all of you merch snobs out there. It features a charming collage of illustrations from the movie and has kangaroo pockets to keep fingers toasty as you’re chilling by the fire — or, you know, hopping around looking for your real dad in the streets of Manhattan, NBD.

Beatles Elf Sweater

I squealed when I saw this sweater — and I know you will, too. This is merch-on-merch. It is meta-merch. I didn’t know how else we could’ve rhapsodized the downright iconic Abbey Road shot of The Beatles, but somehow, the geniuses at Etsy have done it again.

Also, as a New Yorker, this part in the movie never fails to crack me up. This print is the collab we’ve been waiting for, honestly.

Buddy’s Breakfast Candle

Although we’d all love a go at Buddy’s famous spaghetti-and-syrup breakfasts at least once in our lives, alas, in the real world, we have to answer to our dentists and diabetes panels.

This candle will have to do with its sweet-salty notes of marshmallow, sea salt, cinnamon, maple leaves, and honey. Sigh, adulting.

Buddy the Elf’s Maple Syrup Bottle

For the warm and fuzzy merch camp, however, we have this downright adorable customized maple syrup bottle (it comes empty for you to fill up). It looks just perfect next to a dessert station made of the four elf food groups of *checks notes* candy, candy canes, candy corn, and yes, maple syrup.

Absolutely clutch for a themed Christmas party — get ready to field endless questions from your guests!
