- Buddy (Will Ferrell) Sure, he’s a slow toy maker but his Etch-A-Sketch talents cannot be beat. Buddy the Elf might just be the most festive and jolly person to exist.
- Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) The deadpan sweetheart that is Bob Newhart is the perfect fit to play Papa Elf, the reasonable and (very) concerned adoptive father to Buddy and narrator of the film.
- Santa Claus (Ed Asner) Santa was understandably perplexed when Buddy crawled out of his toy bag. He also had (in addition to cookies) a lot on his plate.
- Walter Hobbs (James Caan) Walter Hobbs is a cranky children’s publisher in New York City who also happens to be Buddy’s biological father. He loves his wife Emily and son Michael, but when it comes to Christmas, he couldn’t care less.

- Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf. Fresh off of seven years on Saturday Night Live, Will Ferrell starred as the suspiciously tall, titular elf, Buddy, who learns he's actually a human and sets out on a quest to find his biological dad in New York City.
- Zooey Deschanel as Jovie. In 2003, then-blonde Zooey Deschanel wooed Buddy as Jovie, a Gimbels employee with a sultry singing voice and an "affinity for elf culture."
- Daniel Tay as Michael Hobbs. Daniel Tay played Buddy's stubborn half-brother Michael. At first, he isn't sold on Buddy's diet of candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup, but he is eventually won over when the two team up for a snowball fight.
- Mary Steenburgen as Emily Hobbs. Mary Steenburgen is Emily, who took the news that her husband fathered a son with another woman before they got married surprisingly well and welcomes Buddy with open arms — spaghetti breakfast, stolen Christmas tree, and all.
