Elf on the Shelf Now Offers More Inclusive Options, and Now We Love the Tradition Even More

07/11/2018 - 10:25 PM

Ah, Elf on the Shelf [1]. The beloved tradition, which inspires kids to be on their best behaviour before Santa Claus comes, has been around for a while now. Parents love hiding them [2], and kids love waking up to find the elaborate schemes [3] they pulled during the night. They bring joy and magic to families during the holidays, but there was one major problem with them for a while: Elf on the Shelf [4] only offered one standard Elf — a brunette, blue-eyed male. This has rightfully been rectified in recent years (although they can still do so much more), and families can now choose their elf from a few genders and skin tones [5] ($30). Keep reading to see the new additions to this Santa-helping crew!
