LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chris Hemsworth’s playful Christmas spirit has stirred up mixed reactions online after he shared a video showcasing his family’s Elf on the Shelf antics.

The video, shared by Hemsworth shows three mischievous elves wreaking havoc in the bathroom.

“Merry Christmas, everyone,” Hemsworth said in the video, adding “Just want to say, keep your eyes peeled because the elves have done it again. Look at them. Cheeky little buggers—they’re everywhere. Stay sharp.”

"Really Chris? Kids literally starving and you are wasting what America calls food and it’s in the toilet?" a user wrote.

On the other hand, many fans defended Hemsworth’s creativity and sense of humor. “This is hilarious! The kids must have loved it,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in, “It’s just a bit of fun—lighten up, people!”
