Trivia
Several minor traffic accidents occurred when Will Ferrell walked through the Lincoln Tunnel in his costume, because people were so surprised (and distracted from their driving) to see him wearing an elf outfit.
Will Ferrell turned down $29 million to be in a sequel in late 2014.
The scene when Buddy eats different candies and pastries with the spaghetti noodles had to be shot twice, because Will Ferrell vomited the first time
The cotton balls Buddy eats while in the doctor’s office were actually cotton candy that had not been dyed.
Director Jon Favreau used a remote control to trigger the Jack in the Box toys to get the startled reactions from Will Ferrell.
The elves have a pitcher of syrup in their break room instead of coffee.
