The cast of the hit Christmas movie “Elf” reunited to benefit Democrats and Republicans in Georgia.
As many favorite casts throughout the Corona virus epidemic have done, a good portion of the original “Elf” stars joined together to read the script in an effort to raise funds to support the Democrats before running for Senate in the state.
Will Ferrell reconsidered his role as Patti Elf, and sang “Baby, It’s Gold Outside” with Joey Desanel, who reconsidered the role of Joey.

However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a song had to be skipped from the one-hour 40-minute show. “Office” star Ed Helms, who was a guest at the event, said they could not get the rights to “Santa Claus is coming to town” and therefore replaced it with the timeless Christmas hit “Jingle Bells”.

During a brief break in the process, Helms jokingly accused Republicans of regretting their fundraising.
“Obviously, we think the Republicans may have the rights to that song, because today we got a horrible email when we asked for the rights to do it. That’s what I asked for. Who knows?”
