The first submission for our 2020 virtual event comes all the way from California! Palm instead of pine trees. . . we're loving the warmer than normal participation!
The head elves put on their most festive attire, suspenders and headgear included, and braved the cold for their Cocoa Run. It is safe to assume that there are treats stashed in at least one of those pockets!
Their trusty sidekick was also along for the adventure!
Christmas sweaters. . . check, Hot cocoa. . . check, Decorated golf cart. . . check, Impressive backdrop. . . check, Pure Adorableness. . . DOUBLE CHECK!!
Also, check out those awesome Cocoa Run stickers! Thanks to our modeling crew for volunteering this sweet commercial. Thinking this just may make for a good billboard on 900E!
These happy little elves can always be counted on to spread Christmas cheer like no others. Seriously, how can those bright smiles not just lift you up!
So, these happy little helpers for Santa seem to have taken their Cocoa Run quite seriously! However, they have to remain ready at all times in case Santa calls on them to save the world.
Our only question is if they met the quota for treats consumed on this run?!?
If Rudolph ever sprains a hoof playing reindeer games, this group of elves is ready to step in. Between those bright smiles and the tremendous headgear, there is no doubt who Santa will be calling on to guide his sleigh!
This incredibly sweet family broke out their holiday gear and used the Cocoa Run to spread cheer in Georgia! Bonus points to them for even making some homemade "snowballs" as their treat. Buddy the Elf would have those scarfed down in seconds!
We also are betting that this littlest elf is permanently on Santa's nice list after this ridiculously adorable smile!
This young lady can always be counted on for a creative and ultimately festive outfit! From Cindy Lou Who to a walking talking Christmas Tree, she always brings her A-game!
Oh, our wonderful neighbor elves, how we love them so! We greatly missed their treat station this year, but it is great to see them all in full Cocoa Run attire!
Now, someone seriously help that poor T-Rex get a drink of cocoa!
Yes, yes, yes!!! This dynamic duo stretched, hydrated, and focused clearly on the end goal. . . to spread the greatest of cheer throughout their neighborhood!
Santa came to town with his merry little elves! The closest relation to Buddy the Elf that we have ever met with another no doubt in training!
This family of elves showed up with treats aplenty! Hurry now, over the hills of snow (nope, not any) to Grandma's (and Grandpa's) house we go! For the cocoa of course!!
Elves in a bar??? First of all, we promise they are all of legal age. Secondly, we are pretty certain that it is just applejuice in those glasses!
In all seriousness, though, we see treats, great outfits, and loads of spirit! Santa will certainly add them to the nice list after seeing the donations they raised for such a Sweet Cause!
If Santa needs something done in a hurry, there is little doubt which elves he will be calling on!
Can we really count this as a true Cocoa Run if these two weren't up at 4:30 a.m. making Grinch Kabobs?!?
It's December, Santa. Do we really have time to be chilling at the beach? With reindeer like that, though, we're certain all those presents will be delivered on time!
If you are going to struggle making it on the nice list each year, one's best bet is to partner with a perennial finisher with honors on the nice list. So, which elf is which?!?
Yeah, yeah, it's obvious that she just exudes sweetness. Give this guy credit, though, for finding some coattails to ride!
2020 has brought forth many challenges. However, some social distancing and masks allowed for a very scaled down version of a traditional Cocoa Run. Many new faces were brought into our merry band of elves thanks to a virtual event, and a fantastic outpouring of support for our Sweet Cause came from across the country. Many thanks to all!!
By the way, we promise that the dog is alive and well. He is just completely over 2020!!
