10 Fun Stranger Things Elf Ideas

1. Elf Coming Through a Portal

Use the printable portal and place your elf halfway through it like they’re entering the real world from another dimension. Add crumbs or lights around the edges for extra drama.

2. Waffle Breakfast Delivery

Set out the waffle snack card with a mini stack of waffles (or a single waffle) and your elf holding a fork. Kids will think it’s the elf’s favorite Hawkins-inspired breakfast.

3. Upside Down Elf Scene

Tape your elf upside down under a shelf, cabinet, or table. Add the light strand printable behind them so it feels like gravity flipped.

4. Message Through the Christmas Lights

Use the alphabet light template and write a short message such as “I’M BACK” or “HELLO FRIENDS.” Place the elf sitting beside it, looking like they sent the message.

5. Elf Guarding the Portal

Set the elf next to the portal printable with the “Gone Guarding a Portal” card. Add a toy flashlight for a dramatic touch.

6. Holiday Magic in Hawkins Scene

Use the “Holiday Magic Eleven” printable and place the elf next to a pile of glitter, sequins, or “magic dust.” Easy, festive, and totally Stranger-inspired.

7. Snack Game Elevated

Place the “Elevated My Snack Game” card next to snacks your kids love — popcorn, fruit snacks, or mini cookies. Add one waffle for a fun Easter egg.

8. Elf Exploring New Dimensions

Position your elf crawling into a cereal box, toy bin, or laundry basket using the “BRB… Exploring New Dimensions” printable. Kids will love guessing what dimension they entered.

9. Friends Don’t Lie… But Elves Do Eat Waffles

Set your elf next to a small pile of waffle pieces. Add the “Friends Don’t Lie… But Elves Do Eat Waffles” card from the printable pack. Silly and adorable.

10. Hawkins Holiday Squad

Use action figures (or any toys your kids love) and line them up next to your elf with the “Hawkins Holiday Squad” sign. Instant team-up moment.
