Suggested Ages: All, Adult Friendly

Don your elf-themed getups and come join in a hot cocoa crawl around NYC with adult and kids dressed like cute elves at various locations around Union Square Park. A much more family-friendly counterpart to the drunken SantaCon (happening Dec 9 this year, beware).

Donate $10 for a special Elf Passport to be stamped at each special cocoa location. Receive special hot cocoa deals and get a prize after completing all the stamps. Donations support The Trevor Project and the Making Headway Foundation.

Participant are encouraged to dress like elves, but any type of costume is appreciated. Wear something green, blue, red or any color, as long as you look like an elf. Costumes are fun, even for parents, and c’mon, you can do better than just a hat! Don’t want to dress like an elf? Okay, you and just you can dress like a giant cup of hot cocoa (or a marshmallow, because who doesn’t love a marshmallow on their hot cocoa?). Please do not dress as a Santa or wear any Santa-related costumes; ElfCon is NOT SantaCon.
