ANSWER THE PHONE LIKE BUDDY THE ELF!

Imagine celebrating Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf Day by picking up every call with a cheerful, “Buddy the Elf—what’s your favorite color?” and then immediately recommending a holiday movie marathon that’s guaranteed to out-cheer even Santa’s workshop. From classics that melt hearts like It’s a Wonderful Life to modern goofs where grown adults still trip over Christmas lights (Home Alone level chaos, anyone?), your watchlist will be so festive your remote might don a Santa hat. Go ahead—spread that elf-style joy and pair it with a cinematic sleigh ride through the best holiday flicks this season. After all, Christmas is just a week away!
