Sarah Michelle Gellar Really, Really Loves Elf on the Shelf

3 minute read

You probably know Sarah Michelle Gellar best for being a badass vampire slayer and an award-winning actor, but did you also know that she is the undisputed MVP of the Christmas tradition, Elf on the Shelf?

In a mere two weeks, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star has posted no less than 21 Instagrams of the festive toy in various locations, from hiding in her jewelry box to making cookies with her in the kitchen.

While some of the ‘grams look like Elf on the Shelf might be shilling some endorsements in addition to keeping an eye out for Santa, Gellar’s dedication is admirable. See all 21 of her Elf on the Shelf Instagrams below.

Here’s Gellar’s first Elf on the Shelf post of the year.

Apparently, elves like Hamilton.

They especially like Kelly Clarkson’s song on the Hamilton Mixtape.

Gellar’s elves don’t just stay on the shelf — they apparently have super alter egos as well.

They’re also pals with the Justice League.
