Elf Pets® reindeer tradition When Santa's sleigh is unable to lift off the ground, he must call on his Elf Pets® reindeer to come to the rescue! Thanks to a magic heart charm worn around its neck, each of these pets can help store the Christmas spirit necessary to make Santa's sleigh soar.

Elf Pets are Santa's adoptable helpers sent from the North Pole to serve as year-round companions for kids, who can hug, love and play with them. All Elf Pets come with their own hardbound book telling a holiday tale about how they help Santa build faith, hope and love during Christmastime.

Elf Pets® love to be cuddled and hugged! They also love when their families play with them and include them in fun activities. It is important to hold and love your Elf Pets® as much as possible in order to help Santa make Christmas a success year after year!

With his curious nature and willingness to help, Benjamin becomes a key part of the Scout Elves' Christmas plan when he names his own Elf Pets Reindeer “Peanut Butter” after his favorite food in order to help Santa's sleigh fly.

Hopefully that gives you a little more insight about the elf pets. We're always delighted to help here at the North Pole.

Each Elf Pets Tradition box set includes an illustrated hardcover storybook explaining the role of Santa's biggest helpers, and a snuggly plush Elf Pet: A Saint Bernard Pup, Arctic Fox Cub, and cuddly Reindeer.

When you cuddle, hug and play with your pets all year long, you help activate the magic Santa needs each holiday. So even if you're missing your Scout Elf, not to worry, hold your Elf Pets® close and play with them as often as you'd like.

If little ones find their Scout Elf sitting on something they need to use, like relaxing in their sink, lying on their bookbag or hanging on their clothes, then it is okay for parents to move the elf, so kids can complete their morning routine and elves can get back to their important job!

Do Elf Pets Stay all year? While The Elf On The Shelf Elves do leave on Christmas Eve, Elf Pets don't have to leave. Our Elf On The Shelf Saint Bernard stays for year round cuddles and collects Christmas cheer year round.
