One of the best parts about Christmas each year is watching classic holiday films. However, it’s also nice to add to the tradition when new Christmas movies come along, and Disney has provided us with a great one called Noelle starring Anna Kendrick.

The movie is about Santa’s daughter Noelle who has grown up with a special love of Christmas. When her father passes away, it’s up to her brother to step into his suit and fill the role of Santa. However, he is a bit overwhelmed and decides to run away. Noelle, loving both Christmas and her brother, goes after him to try and save her favorite holiday and her family. The family film is witty, cheerful, and had us laughing out loud throughout the whole thing. Here are ten of the funniest lines from Noelle:

Santa’s Helpers’ Songs

We have to cheat a little here and throw a couple of quotes into one because the members of a little singing group dubbed “Santa’s Helpers” are just so funny! Several times throughout the film, they sing parodied versions of Christmas carols that relate to the happenings in the North Pole.

When Santa is having trouble with learning to fly the sleigh, they sing, “Crashing all the way, ha ha ha!” and later, when Santa tries once more, they can be heard cheering, “Santa tried to land again, fa la la la la la la la la. He missed the roof and hit the den…” However, the funniest song comes about when discussing naughty children: “Joy to the world, except for you ‘cause you forgot to floss.”

“That’s pretty stocking half empty”

It seems that wherever you go in life, you will always find a pessimist with their glass of eggnog half empty, even around Christmas.

Noelle’s first Negative Nate she meets once outside of the North Pole is a man named Jake, who says to her, “You know, I find most people, they don’t know what’s in their own hearts let alone anyone else’s. That’s if even they have a heart in the first place.” He goes on to explain, “I’m a private detective. You get ‘stocking half empty’ pretty quick.”

“We’re Jewish”

With all of this talk about Santa, stockings, and striped candy, it’s nice to take a moment to give a nod to our friends who do not celebrate Christmas, and that’s exactly what Noelle did in its own cheeky way.

With this being Santa’s first Christmas delivering presents, it’s understandable to make a few mistakes. This family was surprised to see the jolly deliverer appear from their fireplace, interrupting their Chinese takeout meal. With a menorah on the table behind the couch and the lack of Christmas decorations, it can only mean one thing. Oops! Happy Hanukkah!

“My partridge in a pear tree underwear needs washing”

Have you ever wondered what kind of underwear they wear at the North Pole? Christmas carol themed of course! We can imagine that Noelle also has a pair with little tin horns and little toy drums as well as a pair with a one horse open sleigh.

Luckily, her Nanny Elf Polly is there to wash them all! Only moments before, Noelle had insisted that she didn’t need Elf Polly to do all her chores for her, but apparently underwear washing is an exception. When Noelle informs her of her laundry needs, Elf Polly replies, “Well, my Christmas wish has been granted.”

“How many people wear gingerbread deodorant?”

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and the rest, but you haven’t met Snowcone until you’ve watched Noelle! He’s only the cutest baby reindeer you’ve ever seen and one of Noelle’s close friends. The snow white colored cutie flies from the North Pole to find Noelle and deliver a special note.

Noelle, who is very proud of him, exclaims, “You must have picked up my scent from all the people in Pheonix!” Elf Polly doesn’t think it was too hard to find them with Noelle’s preferred choice of antiperspirant. Christmas themed deodorant does sound lovely, especially if there are candy cane and hot cocoa scents!

“[Santa] looks nice and polite, so I know I haven’t dated him”

When Santa flees the North Pole to go somewhere warm to relax, Noelle feels completely responsible and decides that she must go find where he has gone. She drags “Aunt” Polly along, and the two end up in Pheonix, Arizona, where they set off to see if they can locate poor Santa.

Noelle shows a picture of him to the first person she encounters, a woman named Helen who manages a marketplace, and asks if she has seen him. Unfortunately for their search, Helen has not seen (or dated) Santa any time recently.

There are many ways that one could describe Pheonix, Arizona. Dry, hot, a desert… Some call it the “Valley of the Sun,” due to the intense heat. Noelle evidently has never heard of this nickname, so she has her own little way of identifying it. The hot climate has been bothering Noelle ever since she has shown up, refusing to take off her “ensemble” of winter and Christmas gear.

It’s definitely a new experience for her; she even tried to eat sunblock when she was offered some. At least now we know what kind of cookies are made in the North Pole, although we assumed it would be Keebler with there being so many elves.

“These are my yogurt pants”

Noelle comes across a customer in the grocery store with colorful pants that the North Pole native deems “jolly.” The woman explains that they’re just yoga pants, like the ones Noelle is wearing. Apparently there are no “Merry Meditation” classes up north because Noelle has no idea what yoga is.

Still, she smiles politely and repeats what she thinks she heard. The woman attempts to explain, complete with a bit of a pose, but to no avail; Noelle still thinks the strange lady is talking about yogurt pants. “She was weird, right?”

“You can’t be Santa if you’re having a nervous breakdown”

Poor Santa is stressed as strudel as his first Christmas in charge approaches. He struggles to determine who is nice or naughty, figure out what each person wants as a Christmas gift, and how to fly the sleigh.

When Noelle was a little girl, she was told by her father that her job is to keep her brother filled with Christmas cheer. With this in mind, she has these words of wisdom to offer while the pair sip mugs of hot chocolate with peppermint and whipped cream: “Nobody wants you sliding into their fireplace crying and weeping. There’s nothing merry about that.”

“I majored in calligraphy; I had a minor in popcorn stringing”

After having a conversation in perfect American Sign Language with a little girl named Michelle, Noelle is left a little shocked and in awe as to how she was able to understand Michelle and also sign back to her correctly. It was as if by magic that her hands moved to form the right shapes and motions.

Noelle says that she never studied sign language in school, being busy with her handwriting and Christmas decor making. Of course popcorn stringing is an option of study at the North Pole, probably along with tree trimming and gingerbread baking.
