Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A full-colour, gifty Christmas cookbook filled with recipes, activities, and holiday magic, guided by the Scout Elves.

The Elf on the Shelf is a phenomenon for families around the world. Every year, millions of Scout Elf helpers fly in from the North Pole to join in the Christmas cheer, with great excitement every day as parents watch their children discover their elves’ landing spots. Many families integrate their Scout Elf friends into food and kitchen traditions, with the holidays filled with laughter and fun as little and big hands tinker with ingredients, stirring, mixing, and pouring their hearts into something wonderfully delicious. These loving traditions are at the heart of Christmas magic!

The Elf on the Shelf Family Cookbook is presented by an exceptional team of Mrs. Claus’ Sweet Shop Elves, who share their favourite holiday recipes, along with ingredient lists, tips, tools, and favourite recipes you’ll love to incorporate into The Elf on the Shelf tradition. With chapters starting in Scout Elf Return Week, usually in the last week of November, right up until Christmas Eve, when Scout Elves depart, the book shares fifty recipes, plus activities, projects, and ways to include your own family’s Scout Elf, who can’t help but get in on the kitchen action! This highly illustrated, interactive book includes:

  • Basic culinary vocab, safety tips, and ways parents can bring their kids into the kitchen
  • Classic and updated Christmas recipes with easy variations for breakfasts, snacks, desserts, drinks, and special elf-size food (you’ll love to set up little feasts for your Scout Elf pals!)
  • Activities including Seek and Find, trivia for Movie Night (an annual tradition for The Elf on the Shelf families), and more
  • Recipes for special return celebrations on other holidays and birthdays
  • The fun and elftastic recipes include The Cheer Is Here Pancakes!, Mrs. Claus’ North Pole Famous Peppermint Bark, Fa-la-Lollipops, Bitty Burger Bites, and Reindeer Munch Snack Mix

Chock-full of inspiring ideas for holiday fun for young and old alike, The Elf on the Shelf Family Cookbook will be a treasured holiday companion for years to come!
