Eloise at the Plaza

Eloise at Christmastime is a 2003 American Christmas comedy television film based on the 1958 book written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight. The film stars Sofia Vassilieva as Eloise, a six-year-old girl who lives in the penthouse at the top of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Julie Andrews, Kenneth Welsh, Debra Monk, Gavin Creel, Christine Baranski, and Jeffrey Tambor also star. It is a sequel to Eloise at the Plaza, and the story takes place immediately after the events of that film.

The film was directed by Kevin Lima, written by Elizabeth Chandler, produced by HandMade Films and Di Novi Pictures for Walt Disney Television, and filmed in Toronto and New York City back-to-back with the first film. It aired on ABC on November 22, 2003, as an episode of The Wonderful World of Disney. It was released on both VHS and DVD by Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Since 2009, the film has been part of the 25 Days of Christmas programming block on Freeform (formerly ABC Family), but it was not part of the block in 2010. From 2011 to 2013, it was aired on the Hallmark Channel as part of the channel's "Countdown to Christmas".
