Preparing for the Adventure

In the days leading up to their trip, Melissa had an idea that would test her husband's sense of fun. She dared Ryan to dress up as Buddy the Elf from the iconic Christmas movie and roam around NYC recreating the movie scenes. At first, Melissa had her doubts, but when the costume arrived, she watched in amazement as Ryan put it on and braved the cold outside.Even in the face of potential embarrassment, Ryan remained unfazed. His wife described him as someone who never gets shy and is always up for a good time.

One video showed Ryan jumping across sidewalks like a true elf, while another had him spinning in and out of a revolving door. Another clip captured the amusing interaction when Ryan approached an NYPD horse that seemed to be giving him a side-eye.People loved seeing Ryan's antics. As he walked through the city, strangers cheered him on, and he was pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction. "I thought people in New York would be rude or mad, but everyone was so nice," Ryan said.

Future Plans

Although the cold weather prevented Ryan from repeating his adventure the next day, he hopes to return to NYC next year and make his way to the Empire State Building to recreate more Buddy the Elf scenes. His dad Walter works there, and it would be a special moment.Ryan believes that in a world filled with negativity, it's important to have fun and spread Christmas cheer. His experience has shown that even in a busy city like New York, people are willing to embrace a little joy.For Melissa, seeing her husband in action was a priceless moment. She hopes that one day Will Ferrell himself will join in on the fun, making it an even more memorable event.
