Busy Philipps

Philipps is a holiday decorating pro. She decked out her house with an electric train, a full-size nutcracker, garland swags on the stairs and, of course, her very creative elves. One of her recent masterful scenes, set up for her two daughters, Birdie and Cricket, included two of Santa's helpers making snow angels in flour. Another saw her elves having a "sElf care day" at the spa.

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling found her festive friends to be a little messier than Philipps's. "Guess the Elves were found this a.m. And somehow this year they are Hawaiian!" she said. "I would have welcomed them with open arms except they also ate all the Hawaiian rolls in the house! And left crumbs everywhere…"

Her festive Elf on the Shelf display — one of several the actress and FoodStirs founder has posted on Instagram — included a mini game of Twister. Gellar's two children with husband Freddie Prinze Jr., Charlotte and Rocky, no doubt appreciated this hilarious setup.
