How do Elf Pets
Help The Elf on the Shelf
and Santa Claus?

Elf Pets each have a special role in boosting Santa’s magic! The Reindeer collects children’s love to grow full-size and help power Santa’s sleigh, with even the tiniest ray of hope the Arctic Fox lights up the northern lights to spread Christmas cheer, and with a little faith the Saint Bernard delivers love and kindness to keep the North Pole’s magic strong. While the pets may team up with The Elf on the Shelf for some silly shenanigans, Elf Pets are meant to be snuggled and loved. Together, they make sure the magic of Christmas shines brighter than ever!

A pair of siblings are playing with the Elf Pets® Saint Bernard, Arctic Fox and Reindeer. The brother has the Saint Bernard and the sister has the Arctic Fox and Reindeer. They are seated on the floor, playing on a white rug. They are both dressed in festive, Christmas pajamas. Behind them is a festively decorated living room in preparation for Christmas. There are presents and a Christmas tree, with stockings hanging from the fireplace.
