Your elf called. And while they love Christmas, they feel like they’re missing out on some other holiday fun. So this year, they might try to pack every holiday they can into one week so they can experience every holiday there is with you!
Whether your Scout Elf is hilariously mixed up about the calendar or just wants to pack ALL the fun into a single visit, the Elftacular Year-Round Celebration Set makes it magically easy for those looking for fresh new Elf on the Shelf ideas that won’t take all night for an elf to set up!
This limited-edition Polar Props™ kit comes with seven Santa-approved costumes and a bundle of reusable props, meaning your elf can create an entire week of giggle-worthy elf scenes with one simple box.
The costumes are sturdy designs made for The Elf on the Shelf® Scout Elf, so they slide on and stay put. The props are solid enough to be used again and again, season after season of play.
Here are seven days of delightfully scrambled celebrations your elf can try this season.
Day 1: “Is It Someone’s Birthday?”
Your elf pops in wearing their fluffiest cupcake outfit, surrounded by bits of homemade “confetti” (paper squares from junk mail works great!). A tiny note reads:
“Did I mix up my calendar again? “If it’s not someone’s birthday, it is now. You’re welcome.”
Costume & Prop: Cupcake costume + mini treat tray
Play-Along Moment: Birthday Candle Search
Your elf hides simple paper “birthday candles” around one room, each decorated with a birthday wish like:
more snuggles
Christmas movie night
hot cocoa with dinner
make cupcakes
Kids find the candles, line them up, and choose one wish to enjoy!
Kids find blank sticky-note hearts and write or draw something kind on each one.
Place them on a door, mirror, or wall to make a kindness collage your elf will adore.
Day 3: “Did I Hop Into Easter?”
Your elf appears dressed like a fluffy bunny, perched beside a “nest” of books or towels. Paper eggs (cut from envelopes, paper bags—anything!) are scattered around. A note asks:
“If hopping this time of year is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.”
Costume & Prop: Bunny costume + mini chick
Play-Along Moment: Egg-cellent Actions
Paper eggs each have a prompt:
hop like a bunny
say something you’re thankful for
give a family member a hug
wiggle like a chick
Kids take turns choosing eggs and acting them out. Grown-ups play, too! Elves love seeing parents hop.
Day 4: “Luck of the North Pole Irish!”
Your elf stands proudly in bright green with coins sprinkled about. Real coins or paper circles work perfectly! The note says:
“I followed a rainbow and it led me here! Let’s hunt for treasure!”
Costume & Prop: Leprechaun costume + gold coins
Play-Along Moment: Mini Treasure Hunt
Your elf hides coins around the room. Kids turn in each coin for:
a hug
a story
a silly dance
a tiny treat
It’s a lucky day indeed!
Day 5: “BOO! Am I Early… or Late?”
Your elf sits beside a pumpkin bucket filled with hand-drawn jack-o-lanterns. Their note reads:
“Don’t panic, but I think I time-traveled. Happy Halloween?”
Costume & Prop: Pumpkin costume + pumpkin bucket
Play-Along Moment: Trick-or-Treat Challenge
Slips of paper go in the bucket—half labeled trick, half treat.
Pull one out and follow the fun:
Trick: monster walk, ghost whisper, silly scare!
Treat: say something sweet about someone in the family.
A “real” treat after dinner? Totally elf-approved.
Day 6: “Time for a Feast?”
Your elf sits at a tiny “table” (stacked books work perfectly!), feathers scattered nearby and a note:
“Wrong Day? Right outfit! Let’s give thanks, anyway!”
Costume & Prop: Turkey costume + mini roast turkey
Play-Along Moment: Feathers of Gratitude
Everyone writes something they’re thankful for on a feather. Tape them around a photo, the fridge, or your elf’s perch to build a “gratitude turkey.”
By evening, your home glows with thankfulness, and your elf beams with pride.
Day 7: “At Last—I Got It!”
Your elf finally gets it right! Candy cane costume on, tiny gifts beside them, a trail of real (or paper) candy canes leading to…
A note:
“GOOD NEWS: I finally cracked the code. It’s CHRISTMAS!”
Costume & Prop: Candy cane costume + gift props
Play-Along Moment: Candy Cane Trail Surprise
The candy cane path leads to a simple surprise, such as:
a coupon for hot cocoa night
a favorite Christmas book
a family game already on your shelf
a nativity or holiday story station to spark a family conversation
No extra shopping needed, just a little elfish flair.
