Elf on Shelf Holiday Events Planned Across Regions

The Elf on the Shelf is the centerpiece of several holiday experiences, from a free public art scavenger hunt around London’s landmarks to family activities at Caribbean resorts and U.S. aquariums. In London, 12 nearly two-meter Scout Elf sculptures are planned for locations including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Westminster, with the trail expected to run from November into December. Beaches Resorts plans Christmas-themed activities at properties in Jamaica and Turks and Caicos from Nov. 27 to Dec. 25, 2026, including scavenger hunts, workshops and family entertainment; Beaches Negril will also introduce a themed holiday suite. At nine SEA LIFE aquariums across the U.S., families can follow an interactive “Sea Star Search,” helping Scout Elves recover decorations for an underwater Christmas tree. At SEA LIFE Orlando, the experience runs Nov. 20 through Jan. 3, is included with admission and offers a take-home sea star ornament and certificate for those who complete its challenges.
