It's a Christmas tradition for many families to welcome an Elf on the Shelf into their home so that a Scout Elf can be adopted into a home with a name, get special powers and fly to the North Pole—this year, kids will also enjoy being able to stay connected to their Yuletide sprite outside of the home with the Elf on the Shelf Cakebites.
The festive Elf on the Shelf Cakebites are more than just festively colored snacks, as they are packaged in wrappers that can be written on to share personalized messages from a household's Scout Elf.
As well as being available in grab-and-go varieties layered with red vanilla and green vanilla cake, there are also Hot Cocoa Cakebites.
