Every December 1st our littles get excited knowing that their favorite Elf on the Shelf is set to return for the season! Every year our beloved elf brings along a bevy of delicious holiday confections, drinks and Christmas-themed goodies to our North Pole Breakfast. Our kids look forward to this holiday ritual, rich in tradition, fun and holiday cheer! Your elf can surely bring its own North Pole celebration to your home for little ones with a few playful party supplies, easy breakfast treats and some DIY ideas!
The Table: Your very own Elf On The Shelf® can get busy creating a North Pole inspired spread just like ours did! Start by layering a White Rectangle Polyester Tablecloth with the Red & White Snowflake Plastic Tablecloth Roll and a Red Chevron Table Runner. This truly sets the mood and gets everyone in gear for Christmas!
The Place Settings: Our Elf On The Shelf® made each and every place setting magical! Red Paper Chargers were topped with White Ribbed Edge Plates, Chevron Red Plates and Cheery Santa Christmas Paper Plates.
Beside each set of plates sat white linen napkins with snow flake detailing and fresh Peppermint Candy Canes! The kids loved nibbling on this sweet treat and mixing it into their hot cocoa! Elf on the Shelf® Erasers decorated silver utensils for a fun touch of detailing.
On the opposite side of each place setting rested Elf on the Shelf® Giant Candy Canes topped with Elf on the Shelf® Crispy Chocolates.
The most adorable reindeer Christmas Cups sat at each place setting; perfect for juice, water or even warm cocoa.
Elves love to make sure their kids are including healthy foods with every meal, so fresh milk was displayed in Clear Vintage Soda Bottles. Polka dot ribbon was wrapped around each bottle as well as a Santa Face Sticker and a Red Striped Paper Straw. Everyone knows that nothing goes better with hot cocoa than big, fluffy marshmallows! Our mallows were dipped in red sprinkles and displayed in Santa Suit Cupcake Liners.
Lastly, for an extra touch of special holiday fun, each place setting had a miniature DIY Ornament full of Iridescent Glitter. Additional Iridescent Glitter was added to the tops of each Ornament for extra sparkle.
The Centerpiece: The centerpiece of this cheerful breakfast truly captures the essence of the holiday, spelling out MERRY in bright marquee letters. This modern touch added so much to the table!
On either side of the MERRY marquee signage rested 2 adorable Santa cutouts from the Christmas Character Hanging Fan Set.
The Breakfast Buffet: Every good Elf On The Shelf® knows that a cheerful North Pole Breakfast needs themed breakfast treats! Our elf included plenty of custom sweets, treats and adorable decor!
Lined with a Red & White Snowflake Plastic Tablecloth and Red Chevron Table Runner, this breakfast buffet was clad in holiday colors. An array of White Tissue and Red Chevron Hanging Fans flanked a white brick wall.
In the center of the wall hung an over sized "Santa Here" Vintage Sign telling Santa just where to arrive on Christmas morning! This made for the perfect focal point of the breakfast buffet!
Sweet breakfast drinks and treats were displayed on Rickrack trimmed Cupcake Stands.
Resting upon each cupcake stand were over-sized Reindeer Paper Lanterns, complete with reindeer antlers and red noses!
An adorable Elf On The Shelf® Boy Plushee Pal and a sweet Elf on the Shelf® Girl Plushee Pal sat on the table holding Santa's Belt Lollipops.
A Letter Board displayed the full breakfast menu and looked great!
The letter board was also displayed with a delicious and adorable Elf on the Shelf® Countdown Calendar, perfect for our little ones to count down the days until Christmas morning!
