HelloFresh Launches ELF Inspired Meal Kit for Holiday Season

By Movieguide® Staff

The food service company Hello Fresh recently gave families the opportunity to recreate one cinema’s most iconic holiday meals, Buddy the elf’s mix of spaghetti and sweets from 2003’s ELF.

The Buddy The Elf Spaghetti Meal Kits will be available starting Dec. 5 and contains all the essential ingredients like pasta, marshmallows and maple syrup.

“Our goal is always to create recipes that are both tasty and fun to prepare, and we’re sure this over-the-top recipe will satisfy any elf’s sweet tooth while bringing the holiday spirit to your household!” Michelle Doll Olson, Hello Fresh’s culinary development manager said.

A portion of Movieguide®’s review of ELF reads:

ELF stars funnyman Will Ferrell as Buddy, an orphaned human baby who crawled into Santa’s sack unnoticed one Christmas Eve and was raised by elves at the North Pole. Since the average elf is three feet tall, buddy at six-feet-two is a rather obvious standout.

ELF is a humorous Christmas movie meant to take advantage of the market with the likes of THE SANTA CLAUSE, CHRISTMAS STORY, and THE GRINCH. Having absolutely nothing to do with Christianity, it stays with the premise that the highest and best use of Christmas is to “bring out the good” in everyone. Other than the humanistic view of Christmas, the only objectionable parts are when Buddy tells a beautiful co-worker that when he sees her, his “tongue” swells, his heart beats faster, etc. There is no sex, or other innuendo, and most children would not pick up on this line.
