We love a cinematic Easter egg—especially when it pertains to two of our favorite Christmas movies. (Holiday puns intended.) And what with the internet and all, we don't have to look far. Behold:
‘A Christmas Story’ and ‘Elf’ Have One Thing in Common (and the Internet Is Freaking Out)

A Christmas Story + Elf = mind blown.
The actor, 47-year-old Peter Billingsley, is most beloved for playing BB-gun-wanting Ralphie Parker in the 1983 holiday classic A Christmas Story. Considering we watch his face for about 24 hours straight every December 25, we’re kind of shocked that we didn’t recognize him as that grumpy-looking elf in the *new* classic Elf. (In our defense, the role is uncredited.)
It turns out Billingsley is something of a Christmas movie aficionado, having also made an appearance in Four Christmases alongside Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. Oh yeah, and he’s also a highly prolific Hollywood producer (The Break-Up, Iron Man). The more you know!
