The Elf on the Shelf’s Magical Holiday Journey is a live holiday entertainment experience inspired by the Scout Elves and the stories, characters, and lore of The Elf on the Shelf. Presented and produced with The Lumistella Company, the event invites guests of all ages to join an original Christmas adventure designed to help Santa find his magical sleigh bells. At the Fairplex in Pomona, California, visitors walk and ride a trolley through an outdoor, elf-sized world featuring live performances, festive surprises, and large-scale scenic and lighting installations.

The approximately 45-minute journey is complemented by an outdoor Christmas Village with food, drinks, holiday treats, gifts, and event merchandise, as well as an open-air ice-skating rink. The experience also offers accessible paths and trolley accommodations. Guests can take personal photos and may optionally bring a new, unwrapped toy for donation to Toys for Tots.

Created with contributions from established designers and the creator of The Elf on the Shelf, the event combines theatrical storytelling, seasonal entertainment, and family-friendly activities to create a festive outing
