When does the elf go back to the North Pole? What day does the elf on the shelf leave? Most elves’ last day is December 24th, Christmas Eve. It makes sense to do it that way because Santa comes on Christmas Eve when the kids are sleeping so there’s no need for the after stick around any longer.
But you might be wondering, can the elf on the shelf stay after Christmas? Well, every family is different. In some homes, the elf comes back a couple times throughout the year, just to see how the kids are doing and congratulate them on their birthdays and other special times.
So, here are some ideas for your last day of elf on the shelf.

Elf on the shelf after Christmas
Can the elf stay after Christmas? Usually the Christmas elves go back to the North Pole with Santa, since their other job most of the year is making presents. But occasionally elves are allowed to go and visit their human charges. Some elves appear at birthdays, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween… it all depends on what works for that particular family!
