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.
