“I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.”
~Buddy the Elf, from Elf

These leg warmers are certainly a sweet-treat, and the best part? You can whip up a fantastic gift (or just a quick something to keep YOU warm!) in a viewing of Elf (or at the least in a weekend if you get interrupted to go sledding, sing carols, or make sugar cookies!)
