Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne dressed as Buddy the Elf and a Mrs. Butterworth's syrup bottle for Halloween, according to a Fox News report on the costumes. The outlet's summary said the choices were "jumping straight to Christmas mode," which is the only description of the costumes' theme that the material provides beyond the two characters themselves.
The Fox News piece, which the outlet ran under its OutKick Sports section, carries a headline suggesting the costumes will anger people who are tired of holidays being rushed through. That framing comes from the outlet itself, and the material reviewed for this story attributes it to no other person or group.
Neither the headline nor the summary says where or when the costumes were worn, who photographed them, or whether Skenes or Dunne responded to the report. The material provided for this story also lists no author for the piece, so no byline can be attributed.
The Fox News report is the only source in the material reviewed for this story. Its account of the costumes has not been independently confirmed by another outlet, and the material contains no reaction from either named person or from any other source.
What the sources establish is limited to three points: that the two named people chose these costumes for Halloween, that the outlet described the choices as pointing toward Christmas, and that the outlet framed the choices as likely to frustrate people who dislike rushed holidays. Beyond those points, the record available for this story contains no further detail.
