Hop in for Holiday Magic (And Free Pancakes) at IHOP

Elves Take Over the Kitchen at IHOP (and the Prices) Just in Time for the Holidays

One of my family’s favorite holiday traditions is The Elf on the Shelf. He makes his debut, pulls a  few crazy stunts, and just when I have had enough of his shenanigans, he is gone until the next holiday season. While our elf may be a little crazy, we love him and enjoy his time here with us. So I was very excited to learn that IHOP has a few elves in the kitchen this holiday season and they are whipping up tasty treats for your family at an amazing price (Hint: kids eat free!)

When an elf takes over the IHOP kitchen what does he make? Breakfast of course! And not just any breakfast - a special and fun breakfast that will be sure to be an exciting holiday treat for your family, as it was for mine. They are making:

🥞 Jolly Cakes which are fluffy pancakes dyed elf green, topped with sweet icing, whipped topping, and shimmery holiday sprinkles. 

🥞 Oh What Funnel Cakes with strawberries in sauce, powdered sugar, whipped topping, and shimmery holiday sprinkles. 

🥞 Merry Marshmallow Hot Chocolate with marshmallow flavoring, piled high with whipped topping and shimmery holiday sprinkles. 

🥞 Holiday Ham & Sausage Omelette with fluffy eggs loaded with diced ham, sausage, fire-roasted peppers & onions, hash browns, and Jack & Cheddar cheese.

🥞 Little Elves Combo with a choice of 1 Jolly Cake or 1 Oh What Funnel Cake with 1 scrambled egg, 1 bacon strip, and 1 pork sausage link.

All on IHOP’s special The Elf on the Shelf menu. 

Plus, that silly elf has another trick up his tiny sleeve and created a special deal just for parents! Now through January 1st, 2020, kids 12 and under eat free with the purchase of one adult entree, every day, from 4-10 PM! Yes, this includes the incredibly fun The Elf on the Shelf menu, too. 

IHOP is cooking up The Elf on the Shelf menu now, so be sure to bring your family in for a fun & magical meal! And wouldn't it make the perfect Welcome Back Breakfast? During Scout Elf Return Week (Friday, November 29th - Sunday, December 1st) IHOP will host the world's largest Welcome Back Breakfast ever! Kids who visit IHOP during Scout Elf Return Week will receive a special Elf-themed activity sheet with their meal! The IHOP in York is located at 108 Pauline Drive.
