This holiday season IHOP is bringing the sugar with a memed out Elf on the Shelf Holiday Menu. The 5 limited time items will make you think Will Ferrel has snuck into the kitchen to make you breakfast. Kids are going to love these bright and colorful offerings!

IHOP has created a little story to go along with the themed menu. “Scout Elves (…) snuck in and created colorful, whimsical food that deserved its own menu.” All of this is based on the Elf on a Shelf product line featuring dolls, books, and movies… which I didn’t know existed until just now. Go check it out. I thought it was just a meme reference. :D

Scout Elves are being hid in different spots in restaurant and kids are encouraged to find them. To continue the theme, an Elf-themed activity sheet is available to kids busy while waiting for their green pancakes.

Additionally kids under 12 can eat free from 4PM to 10PM. Dine-in only. Drinks not included.

IHOP’s 30 second ad spot for the Elf on the Shelf promotion, Stuck, is included below.
