Journey of the SnowPixies
The SnowPixies came to life in 2017 as a Christmas craft project idea of Rachel Speas with the help of her dad, Mark Webb. That led them to write a book illustrated by artist Todd Andrew Babb telling a story about "The Journey of the SnowPixies". They also developed the SnowPixies Care Package for baby sitting wee baby elves delivered in a special storage box that includes a Boy or Girl SnowPixie, Handcrafted Crib, Letter from Santa, Birth Certificate, Baby Bottle, Baby Blanket, Toy Bunny, Personality Card, and the Book: Journey of the SnowPixies.
​
"Journey of the SnowPixies" reveals how these wee baby elves magically arrive on July 25th and gives the reason Santa decided to send them on their journey into the human world to be cared for by loving families during the busy weeks leading up to Christmas Day.

Because of the growing interest in these wee baby elves, a second book, "The Journey of Jingle & Bell" was released in 2021 to take readers on the adventurous journey of SnowPixie twins Jingle & Bell into the human world as told to their teacher and class at the North Pole School of Elf Etiquette. Also released in 2021 was the SnowPixies Twins Care Package which includes two SnowPixies and a double decker crib.
​
We were excited to announce the release our third book, SnugBunnies to the Rescue! in 2025. This story introduces the SnugBunnies and tells how they came to play an important role in the arrival of the SnowPixies on Christmas in July Day. This book comes in a bundle with a plush SnugBunny from the North Pole that can be adopted by human families as they help Santa spread the joy of Christmas.
​
We believe that Christmas shouldn't to be another job for parents adding to stressful demands on time and money. It should instead be about the reason for the season and doing things together as a family like baking Christmas cookies, decorating the tree, seeing Christmas lights, wearing fun pajamas and reading familiar stories. It should be about the joy of love and laughter—and making memories your children carry with them throughout their life.
​
To us, that means no elaborate nightly setups. No pressure to come up with something new to do every night. No continuous searching for and spending money on one time props. Instead it should be just your family doing what you already love to do together—with a little SnowPixie magic sprinkled in along the way. SnowPixies: More Christmas Memories. Less Stress.

This experience has been a lot of fun and brought many great memories. Most importantly, we love hearing about the joy this family adventure in baby elf-sitting has brought to many children! On the Pixie-Grams page you can find words from elf sitting families sharing their experiences in this parent friendly Christmas Elf tradition with an outward focus for children.
