EDITOR'S NOTE: We published this in 2023, but it's still a wild fact now!

Hey! Did you know that actor Peter Billingsley -- who played Ralphie in A Christmas Story -- is in Elf?

Yes! This is the first time I'm learning this, so please bear with me as I've taken a lap around the internet to see if this was a thing, and I have now learned that it's not only a thing now, but everyone seemed to know this but me.

Billingsley plays Ming Ming the elf in Will Ferrell's movie and you'll notice him in the "Cottenheaded Ninnymuggins" scene below.

There you have it! Ralphie from A Christmas Story is in another Christmas story!

More Christmas!
