If Elf hit the spot, these will too

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

Both land warmth and comfort at once
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Elf does

Common ground in both: holiday and santa claus
The difference: Easier on the romance than Elf

Both are built on the same subject: elves
The difference: Trades the romance of Elf for an angle of its own

Both lean on dream logic more than on comedy


The same preoccupation in both: holiday
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Fantasy built on romance, twice over

Playful comedy, and it commits to that

Family with a pulse of warmth, in both cases

One thread runs through both: adoption
