This year marks the 20th anniversary of the original theatrical release of Elf. The 2003 holiday movie starring Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, and James Caan quickly became a Christmas classic. One of the most memorable scenes involves Buddy the Elf in the kitchen and that has inspired a new contest.

To spread some Christmas cheer, OnlineCasinos.com is challenging Elf fans to whip up a creation influenced by Buddy’s love for all things sweet and sugary. It could be spaghetti covered in candy and maple syrup or a concoction entirely of your own. The person with the most creative dish will win $2,500. That would pay for Christmas and then some!

How To Enter ‘Buddy the Elf’ Contest:

  • Whip up your Buddy the Elf-inspired dish and take a photo of it.
  • Head over to the submission form (link below).
  • Complete the necessary details, and remember to upload your photo.
  • Keep your fingers crossed and hope you win the prize.

A few years ago for one of our food videos, Mel and I made the iconic Buddy the Elf spaghetti breakfast, Pop Tarts and all. It was surprisingly tasty. The OnlineCasinos.com contest closes on Monday, December 11th, 2023 at 11:59 pm EST. You can find the details and submission form here. Good luck!
