Families across the globe welcome Scout Elves and Elf Pets® into their homes, adding a sprinkle of magic to the holiday season. While many are familiar with the traditions of The Elf on the Shelf®, questions often arise about their furry companions, the Elf Pets®. Do they follow the same rules as Scout Elves? Can children hold them? Where do they live? Let’s explore the answers to these frequently asked questions about Elf Pets and clarify if they can indeed stay all year.

Can You Cuddle Your Elf Pets®?
Absolutely! Unlike their Scout Elf counterparts who are primarily for observation, Elf Pets® are designed for affection. They thrive on cuddles and hugs! Elf Pets® genuinely enjoy being part of the family’s fun and games. Including them in various activities is encouraged. Remember, showing your Elf Pets® love and attention is key to helping Santa Claus ensure a successful Christmas every year. So, feel free to shower them with affection!
Do Elf Pets® Journey to the North Pole Every Night?
Here’s where Elf Pets® differ significantly from Scout Elves. While Scout Elves make nightly trips to the North Pole, Elf Pets® have a different mission. Their purpose is to remain with children, offering companionship and playtime throughout the entire holiday season. They prefer to stay close to their little human friends, soaking up as many cuddles and hugs as possible. You won’t find them disappearing each night; they’re here to stay by your side!
Do Elf Pets® Move Around or Hide Like Scout Elves?
Elf Pets® are much more adaptable in their movements than Scout Elves. They happily accompany children wherever they go! Unlike Scout Elves, who maintain a stationary position to observe and report, Elf Pets® are ready for adventures. They can join your child on all sorts of holiday outings and escapades. Think of them as furry, festive sidekicks, always ready to tag along.
Do Elf Pets® Get Involved in Elf Antics?
While Scout Elves are typically the masterminds behind any playful scenes or “elf ideas” in your home, Elf Pets® sometimes get in on the fun! It’s not uncommon to see Elf Pets® participating in the daily antics orchestrated by your Scout Elf. However, their role is usually more about joining in the merriment. Once they’ve had their share of the playful setup, they are free to simply play and enjoy themselves.
Do Elf Pets® Return to the North Pole After Christmas?
This is a common question, and the delightful answer is often no! While experiences can vary from family to family, most Elf Pets® become permanent members of the household, staying with their families year-round. This means children can continue to cuddle, play with, and cherish their Elf Pets® as much as they desire, for as long as they wish. They aren’t just for Christmas; they are year-round companions.
