Elves, singular elf, are creatures similar to humans. Many of them work for Santa Claus. They first appear in a "Holiday Party" concept sketch.[1][2][3]

Description[]

In "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!," the elves are short goblin-like beings with long noses, pointy ears, pale skin, green eyes, dark-green hats, red cloaks, and brown boots.

In "SpongeBob's Road to Christmas," they have a traditional appearance: red hats, red and green tunics and green pants with white stripes.

Trivia[]

Sp
  • SpongeBob has had three different elf outfits: his costume as a P&P elf in "Mid-Life Crustacean," his uniform as one of Santa's elves in "Holiday Party," "The 12 Days of Nickmas," and a Merry Nickmas bumper,[5] and his uniform as Krabby Klaws' head elf in Christmas with Krabby Klaws/Best Christmas Stories Ever!
    • The costume looks quite different from the uniforms, which look very similar to each other.
