ELVES GO ON STRIKE

Treat troubles spark a North Pole strike

Listen to this story

Elves Walk Out Over Snack Rules

A hush fell over Santa’s Workshop—followed by the sound no one ever expects at the North Pole: tiny footsteps marching out, not in.

The elves had gone on strike.

For the first time in Workshop history, rows of toy-makers stepped away from their benches, set down their ribbon spools and paintbrushes, and gathered outside beneath glowing lantern garlands. The cause? Mrs. Claus’ new veggie-first snack rule.

“We’ve always had sweets!” declared Freddy Elf, spokesperson for the outraged toy-makers. “You can’t build action figures for four hours and then take a break with carrot sticks. Sometimes an elf just needs chocolate!”

Inside the Workshop, Mrs. Claus met the news with a slow, worried sigh.

“The sugar crashes were putting them to sleep,” she explained gently. “We can’t finish the toys—or rescue Santa—if half the Workshop is napping by mid-afternoon.”

With Santa still orbiting Earth in the runaway Santa Shuttle and the Appendapulator temporarily converted into a rescue-rocket builder, every elf matters more than ever. But with the toy-floor empty and Freddy leading a snack rebellion, the North Pole now finds itself facing a new holiday crisis.

Will the elves return to work?
Will Mrs. Claus stand firm on the veggie rule?
And will the rescue rocket be finished in time?

Check back tomorrow to see whether the elves’ strike melts—or if things get even nuttier at the North Pole.
