Planning a North Pole Breakfast?
Then you’re in the right place. Today, I’m sharing my favorite North Pole Breakfast ideas that are sure to put a smile on your little’s face from ear to ear.
Let’s get to it –
What is a North Pole Breakfast?
A North Pole Breakfast is a special event that is thrown in your home to welcome your family’s Elf on the Shelf back each year (or for the first time).
It includes lots of fun, festive decor, some special Christmas-themed treats, and sometimes, the Elf on the Shelf will even bring a special little treat bag or gift basket for the little ones in the home.
When is a North Pole Breakfast held?
While there are definitely some more common dates that North Pole Breakfasts take place each year, each family decides on a special day to celebrate their elf’s arrival each year.
Typically, the elves will return either on the Monday after Thanksgiving, during the last week of November, or on December 1st.
The Cutest North Pole Breakfast Ideas
So, now, that we know exactly what a North Pole breakfast is, and when it’s thrown, it’s time to come up with some fun and delicious ideas for our menu.
There are plenty of options for yummy breakfast foods to serve at a North Pole Breakfast,
Here are some of my favorite North Pole Breakfast ideas:
Polar Bear Cupcakes
These totally adorable polar bear cupcakes are vegan and made from scratch – but for an easier option, simply grab some premade cupcakes from your favorite bakery or grocery store, then get to decorating!

Santa Sugar Cookies
To whip together these sweet little cookies, a simple sugar cookie dough is pressed into a 9″ cake pan, cut into triangles, then decorated with red, white and black icing and some mini marshmallows.
Candy Melt Christmas Tree Cake
Looking for something seriously impressive to don your North Pole Breakfast spread?
This pretty Christmas cake is decorated with simple candy melt Christmas trees that are made by melting candy melts and piping them in a zig zag pattern across a lollipop stick, then decorating with your favorite sprinkles.
No time to bake a cake during the holiday shuffle?
Grab a simple layer cake from your local grocer, scrape off the colored icing and re-ice with a simple butter cream and icing spatula.
