As Santa’s official ambassadors of seasonal fun, nobody knows how to throw a North Pole party quite like the Scout Elves! When you’re planning your own Christmas celebration, elf-themed birthday party or even a North Pole welcome breakfast for your Scout Elf, follow these spirited celebration tips for a party inspired by The Elf on the Shelf® tradition.
Top Tips for the Best Elf on the Shelf Party
- DECORATE with cups, plates, napkins and more adorned with Santa’s red-and-white suited helpers! Simply use Santa’s favourite colours—red, white and green—to set a spirited stage for your seasonal celebration!
- INVITE your Scout Elf to the festivities. They are the guest of honor, after all, and when you leave them a specially addressed invite, they may be inspired to bring a tasty treat or special surprise just for the celebration straight from the North Pole.
- PLAY games inspired by the North Pole, like pin the tail on the reindeer, polar freeze tag or Christmas character dress-up. Use your imagination as you invent games, full of fun ideas.
- SERVE treats that dessert-loving Scout Elves would approve of! This is your chance to let kids catch a sugar rush from totally delectable treats just like ones Mrs. Claus bakes in her sweet shop.
- GIVE a little parting gift—it’ll feel just like Christmas morning! Departing guests may enjoy candy, small Christmas-themed trinkets, or anything dressed up in festive reds and greens to remember all the fun they had at your ultimate Elf on the Shelf party!
These ideas work beautifully for Scout Elf return parties, birthday bashes, Christmas celebrations and more!
