The Elf on the Shelf Is Bringing More Christmas Magic to Two New Holiday Magazines!

Get ready for a little extra holiday mischief because everyone’s favorite Christmas elf is making a return to the magazine aisle!

With the holiday season quickly approaching, families are getting ready to celebrate some of their favorite Christmas traditions. And for many children, that includes waking up each morning to discover what their mischievous little Scout Elf has been up to overnight.

Now, Kennedy Publishing is bringing that same festive excitement to young readers with the return of two special The Elf on the Shelf magazine releases for Christmas 2026!

Following the success of its 2024 and 2025 holiday editions, Kennedy Publishing is once again teaming up with The Lumistella Company’s beloved Christmas property for new themed issues of Everything and Love From, bringing plenty of seasonal crafts, puzzles and activities to families.

And with each magazine designed for a different age group, there are plenty of ways for young readers to join in on the Christmas fun.

For preschoolers, Everything The Elf on the Shelf will feature five festive crafts, two posters, two recipes and a collection of puzzles designed to bring some of the excitement of the holiday season beyond the pages of the magazine.

Meanwhile, older children can get creative with Love From The Elf on the Shelf, which includes a special 16-page pullout craft book, festive puzzles and a story maze.

Both magazines will also come with their own branded gift sets, giving readers another way to bring the fun into their homes as they prepare for Christmas.

And considering how much The Elf on the Shelf has become a part of holiday traditions for families around the world, there is something rather fitting about seeing the property expand into activities that encourage children to get creative themselves.

After all, much of the excitement surrounding the beloved Christmas tradition comes from the imagination and anticipation of discovering something new each morning. Whether it’s finding an elf in an unexpected location or sharing a laugh over its latest bit of mischief, those little moments have become part of the holiday experience for countless families.

With these special magazine editions, children can take some of that same excitement into their own hands through crafts, games and other festive activities.

Everything The Elf on the Shelf will arrive at major UK retailers on November 4, 2026, followed by Love From The Elf on the Shelf on November 26, 2026. Both magazines will retail for £7.99.

And for families looking for another way to keep little hands busy during the countdown to Christmas, it looks like these returning holiday favorites will be bringing plenty of festive fun to the magazine aisle!
