Synopsis: Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, a pure-hearted and eager-to-please giant elf who does not quite fit in at the North Pole. It turns out he is a human foundling, raised by Papa Elf (Bob Newhart), who must now venture to the Big Apple in search of his true identity and his biological father, cranky publisher Walter (James Caan).

I will be checking the holiday hours of nearby restaurants for an optional dinner get-together.

A #elf channel will be created on the GNO Discord server on the day of the event. It's to be used to help everyone communicate and find the group. Don't post spoilers until after the event.
