When it comes to inflight movies and entertainment, travelers are commonly set up with personal screens so that they can make their own movie selections. [Delta Air Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delta-airlines) launched a new initiative on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-snowball-fight) to determine the movie that will be shown in December as the featured holiday film.

On Twitter, Delta Air Lines set up a poll that asked social media users to cast their vote for selections like Die Hard, Elf, New Year's Eve or Home Alone. As the poll was only open for a limited time, Elf came out on top at 43%, followed by 42% of users choosing Home Alone as a close second. Throughout December, Elf will be indicated as the winning inflight holiday movie with a badge.

This initiative helps to promote [Delta Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delta-and-spotify) as an offering that is free to all customers, providing access to hundreds of movies, TV shows, podcasts, songs, games, trivia and more.
