One of those which has consistently appeared high in any rankings of the best Christmas films of all time is, of course, Elf, the 2003 comedy starring Will Ferrell.
When he learns of his true identity, Buddy heads to New York to track down his biological father, Walter, but before doing so he is given a warning – Walter is on Santa's naughty list.
Fans of the film celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023, and the year before, in 2022, screenwriter David Berenbaum spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com about the "rare and special" legacy of the festive favourite.
"And, you know, as we're decorating the tree, we'll sort of put it on and it's a great thing to have Buddy come back into your life every year, this time of year. It's really quite amazing."
