Step into a world of holiday cheer with a festive installment of Hotel Viata’s Eat the Film series.

Join us for a special screening of *Elf*, paired with a playful multi-course dining experience inspired by Buddy’s unforgettable adventures through New York City and the North Pole. From nostalgic holiday flavors to whimsical sweet treats and spirited seasonal cocktails, each course is thoughtfully timed to moments throughout the film for a fully immersive evening.

Beneath twinkling courtyard lights and surrounded by holiday décor, guests will experience the warmth, humor, and joyful chaos that have made *Elf* a seasonal favorite for all ages.

Because the best way to spread Christmas cheer is sharing food, laughter, and movie magic together.
