Elf 2 The North Pole Promotion (2026)
Starring Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, Peter Dinklage, and Mary Steenburgen
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, and Buddy Hobbs is singing louder than ever before. Elf 2 The North Pole Promotion picks up the story over twenty years after the original classic. Buddy and Jovie are still happily married, navigating the chaotic hustle of life in New York City. However, Buddy is facing a challenge far more difficult than navigating a revolving door or fighting a raccoon. His own teenage daughter has grown cynical, becoming glued to her smartphone and rapidly losing the innocent Christmas spirit that once saved the day.
A major crisis strikes the North Pole when Santa Claus officially decides it is finally time to retire. With no biological heir to take the reins of the sleigh, the High Council of Elves looks for a successor. They nominate the only human being with enough heart and sugar in his bloodstream to fill the big red suit: Buddy. Although he is reluctant to uproot his family, he is desperate to save the holiday season. Buddy drags his skeptical wife and daughter back through the Seven Levels of the Candy Cane Forest and across the Sea of Swirly Twirly Gum Drops.
Upon their arrival, Buddy must prove he possesses the maturity and leadership skills required to run the legendary workshop. He finds himself at odds with the modern, tech-obsessed world of toy-making and corporate elf efficiency, clashing with the stern Miles Finch who has returned to modernize the North Pole’s operations.
Will Ferrell returns to the screen with his signature manic, sugar-fueled energy, delivering a performance that is both nostalgic and hilarious. This sequel offers a heartwarming, syrup-covered journey that explores complex themes of fatherhood, legacy, and the realization that while everyone has to grow up, nobody has to grow old.
