In honor of Scout Elf Return Week, Beaches Resorts, the Caribbean’s premier family-friendly all-inclusive escape, and The Lumistella Company, the visionaries behind The Elf on the Shelf® Santaverse™, are kicking holiday cheer into high gear with the ‘Shelf to Shore’ Vacation Sweepstakes – giving one lucky family the chance to enter to win a four-day, three-night getaway to any Beaches Resort.

In celebration, Santa’s Scout Elves are trading sleigh bells for city streets in the festively wrapped Beaches Resorts Scout Elf Mobile, cruising through New York City and Chicago through Christmas Eve. Decked out with tropical flair and candy-cane charm, each ride-share is a moving postcard from paradise, designed to make passersbys stop, smile, and dream of island breezes. Featuring everything from Scout Elves lounging beachside to zipping down waterslides, the Beaches Resorts Scout Elf Mobile is more than just a joyride – anyone who spots the Scout Elf Mobile can also enter the sweepstakes by scanning the QR code on its side, turning the holiday hustle into a tropical escape for four at any Beaches Resort.

“Holiday enchantment knows no limits as Beaches Resorts and The Lumistella Company ring in year three of spreading The Elf on the Shelf magic on vacation,” said Luisana Suegart, Director of Public Relations at Unique Vacations, Inc., an affiliate of the worldwide representative for Beaches Resorts. “There’s no place more festive than New York and Chicago to kick off the season, where families can hop aboard the Beaches Resorts Scout Elf Mobile for a touch of Caribbean warmth — and maybe even win their very own getaway to Beaches Resorts, the Official Caribbean Vacation of The Elf on the Shelf.”

The annual Elf on the Shelf at Beaches Resorts holiday program is a one-of-a-kind partnership adding Scout Elf magic to the shores of the Caribbean. From November 28–December 31, 2025, Beaches Negril and Beaches Turks and Caicos will transform into tropical wonderlands with Scout Elf-themed parties, cozy storytimes and movie screenings from The Elf on the Shelf Santaverse, festive karaoke, and more merry surprises.

Families can even experience the first-ever The Elf on the Shelf® Caribbean Vacation Suite at Beaches Turks and Caicos — a limited-time holiday hideaway inspired by the Scout Elf’s iconic red-and-white flair, complete with a twinkling Christmas tree, themed décor, special collectibles, and playful touches that keep the holiday sparkle shining from sunrise to sunset.

“Whether you’re strolling down Fifth Avenue or lounging on a white sand beach, keep your eyes peeled,” added Suegart. “Scout Elves are everywhere this season, spreading joy, wonder, and a dash of Caribbean sparkle wherever they go.”
