Award-winning rapper Post Malone, Emmy-award-winning actor Henry Winkler, chef-entrepreneur Giada De Laurentiis, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore are some of the celebrity storytellers on TMZ's Merry Elfin' Christmas.

What to expect in TMZ's Merry Elfin' Christmas?
As per several promotional posts on social media, TMZ's Merry Elfin' Christmas will discuss the "great relationship" between socialite-entrepreneur Kim Kardashian and Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson that ended in a breakup.
Davidson got several tattoos to honor Kardashian, like "my girl is a lawyer" and her kids' initials. The lawyer tattoo refers to Kardashian studying law supervised by a nonprofit legal organization, Dream.org. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is under a four-year law apprenticeship and has passed the first-year law exam on her fourth attempt.
When TMZ's Merry Elfin Christmas host asked if Davidson rushed into getting those inks on his skin, Malone replied with an easy "To each their own," before adding that he has some "stupid tattoos" that he regrets.
Malone has his entire boy covered in more than 70 identifiable tattoos. A best-selling music artist, the Syracuse native also spoke on TMZ's Merry Elfin' Christmas about his nervousness before each performance.
Further, he dropped a bomb on TMZ's Merry Elfin' Christmas when he declared that he would accompany Rihanna at the Super Bowl LVII, scheduled for a February 12, 2023 outing.
