The Elf on the Shelf is preparing to head to their adoptive homes for the holiday season

When does Elf on the Shelf come back?

Elf on the Shelf is set to come back towards the end of November.

Because Elf on the Shelf is based on a book, many also choose to read the story of the elf to prepare for its arrival.

The popular elf normally stays until a few days after Christmas, until having to “return” to the North Pole to prepare for the following year’s festivities.

The elves report back to Santa and decide if children have been naughty or nice.

Legend has it that the elf watches all kid’s behaviors at home and reports back to Santa to see if they have been naughty or nice

What is Scout Elf Return Week?

Every November 24 through December 1, it is officially Scout Elf Return Week, according to the official website.

The elves gear up from the North Pole to go all over the world into their adoptive family home and stay all through the holidays.

It is a week long celebration where families are supposed to welcome the elves or adopt a new helper and invite them in.

However, just because Scout Elf Return Week exists, does not mean the elf will definitely return at that exact time.

Scout Elf return week is when all the elves pack their bags and make their way out of the North Pole to their adoptive homes for the holidays

All Scout Elves are different, so the date they come back can vary – some return at the end of November and others may wait until the second week of December.

Once it is settled in their adoptive homes, the elf can misbehave and do naughty things around the house to see if the child notices and corrects the behavior.

There are many elves to choose from and families can adopt more than one

Does Elf on the Shelf have to quarantine?

This year because of the coronavirus pandemic travel measures, many Elf on the Shelf owners are curious if their elf has to quarantine. 

According to the Elf on the Shelf website, all elves are “100% healthy and remain well at the North Pole”.

Yet, if families wish for the elf to quarantine or wear a mask to abide by proper protocol, that is completely acceptable too. 

And for the most cautious families there is always an isolation house option.

The elf does not have to remain away from the family for the quarantine period of 14 days, just a few hours can be enough.
