How to Choose an Elf Kit: 10, 11, 13 or 25 Days
How to Choose an Elf Kit: 10, 11, 13 or 25 Days?
Choose an elf kit by counting the mornings you want to cover, then comparing the activities included. NorthPole Pro® by XOXO Parents offers 10-Day Starter, 11-Day Adventure, 13-Day Activity, and 25-Day kit options. A shorter kit can suit a later start or selected mornings; a 25-day kit can support a December 1–25 countdown.
Before you compare boxes, take a quick look at your December calendar. Travel, school breaks, and family celebrations can change how many scenes you actually want to prepare.
Start with the number of mornings
| Kit | Activity days | Planning example |
|---|---|---|
| 10-Day Starter | 10 | Ten selected mornings or December 16–25 |
| 11-Day Adventure | 11 | Eleven selected mornings or December 15–25 |
| 13-Day Activity | 13 | Thirteen selected mornings or December 13–25 |
| 25-Day Kit | 25 | A December 1–25 countdown |
These dates are scheduling examples, not required start dates. If your elf leaves on Christmas Eve, count backward from December 24 instead.
Compare what your family will enjoy
Day count tells you how much of the calendar a kit can cover. The contents tell you what those mornings may look like. Read each product description for the mix of props, games, crafts, and activities. A family that loves making things may want a different mix from a family looking mainly for funny discoveries before school.
Can you combine smaller elf kits?
Yes. You can combine smaller kits to build a longer plan. Ten days plus thirteen days gives you 23 scheduled activity days, for example. Check the item lists for overlap before ordering; adding the day counts does not guarantee every activity across two boxes is different.
What if you already have plenty of ideas?
You may want accessories rather than another set of daily activities. Compare Elf Extras with the activity kits to decide whether you need help staging your own ideas or choosing what happens each morning.
There is no prize for choosing the longest countdown. Choose the kit that fits the tradition you want to keep. Compare NorthPole Pro® kits and current contents here.
