How to Have a Magical North Pole Breakfast – Free Menu Printable
North Pole Breakfast time is soon to be upon us.
The Elf on the Shelf was first introduced to me 9 years ago. I instantly loved the idea (I am a bit mad about Christmas!). Freddie was just 3 when we started the tradition. And not only was it a hit for me he absolutely loved it.
We started with just one elf on the shelf. We are currently on 4 elves plus Uncle Si plus a reindeer!
Our North Pole Breakfast consists of a mix of healthy, savory, and cookies and it is the best meal of the year. I have created a free North Pole Breakfast Menu printable for you to download too.

North Pole Breakfast
I normally spend hours baking the night before the North Pole Breakfast. And these Christmas trees and snowmen cookies look great.
These snowmen marshmallows are easy to make and look amazing. All you need is marshmallows, some small cocktail sticks to stick 2 marshmallows together. A giant chocolate button for their hat and some strawberry laces for the scarves. I buy the pre-made color icing and use this to decorate them further. Also, a sprinkling of icing sugar always looks good.
I normally cheat and buy a build your own gingerbread house as I am generally doing this the night before. But of course, if you have more time, it would be better to make it from scratch, I have used this silicone baking tray in the past. I put finger lights around the boards and inside the house for an extra wow factor!
This is daddy’s job! While I am frantically baking Stuart makes this snow igloo! It is fairly easy to make, all you need is sugar cubes and water, but it is fairly time-consuming! Again inside we put a finger light inside for dramatic effect.
A couple of days before the North Pole Breakfast I make both the snowman soup (hot chocolate, with marshmallows and a candy cane) and the chocolate Santa sleigh. These are so easy to make but can take time, so I never make these the night before.
I try to buy nice Christmas cellophane cone bags for the snowman soup as it adds to the magic of Christmas! Add in 3-4 teaspoons of hot chocolate and top it off with magic stars chocolate and then small marshmallows. I put a nice bow around it with a candy cane and a nice poem (look on Pinterest there are loads!). But if you want to buy it just grab it from Etsy.
The chocolate Santa sleigh is loads of fun to make. I normally start with a kit-kat and then stick to candy canes to the bottom. Then I add a small Lindt Santa to the front edge of the kit-kat. I then pile on all of his favorite chocolate bars (use mini ones though!) They are easy to make (although use plenty of glue!) and look amazing.

Healthy North Pole Breakfast
Freddie has always actually preferred fruit and savory food to sweets and chocolate. We also created some really easy-to-make fruit and savory Christmas tree platters this year. So the star was an apple and the base of the tree was an apple. The green of the tree was grapes cut in half, and the decoration was blueberries and raspberries!
One of our favorites is these healthy candy canes, all it is is chopped-up bananas and strawberries. They look really good, and what’s even better is the kids love them!
Savoury North Pole Breakfast
I normally purchase the Asda Christmas tree-shaped crumpets to go with our North Pole Breakfast. Or if they are not available I will make toast and cut it into Christmas shapes.
The savory food Christmas platter was tomatoes, cheese, and cocktail sausages.
Let the North Pole Breakfast Party begin!
The kids just love it, and it is a great way to start the Christmas season. Also, it is the start of the Elf on the Shelf. So every day the Elf reports back to Santa on the behavior! Check out some of our Elf antics.

Make sure you choose the correct paper size and then click on the shrink to fit button. With all of our printables, they work better when printed on cardstock (this is the one we use and love.)
Do you have a North Pole Breakfast? Let me know what you include in the comments below.
When the Elf on the Shelf arrives, they bring a rather extravagant breakfast with food from the North Pole. The food is generally sugary, however, we have created a healthy alternative. This is a lot of work, which you will get no credit for, but it is a great start for the magic of Christmas.
Gingerbread, snowman soup, Christmas tree crumpets, banana and strawberry candy canes, snowman marshmallows, and many Christmas cookies.

We always have a North Pole Breakfast. I’ve never made the Snowmen marshmallows, would make a nice change to the Santa hats and grape Santa’s we usually have. The elves also put up all our decorations and tree in the night before the NPB so I don’t have as much time to create the food. We do have a North Pole tea with the kid’s school friends so I may pinch some of these ideas for that.
