Keepers of Festive Faithfulness

About St. Bernards

The Elf Pets® Saint Bernards, led by their father Barry—Santa’s faithful dog since childhood—are more than just cuddly companions. These pups carry magical barrels around their necks, collecting acts of kindness from children everywhere. On Christmas Eve, the barrels burst open, releasing the stored kindness to feed the world’s Christmas spirit, which is held in the Christmas Star. With enough love and care, these Elf Pets ensure the spirit of the season stays strong, helping Santa spread joy across the globe.

The door has a white and green painting on it featuring a star, holly berries and leaves, and some flourishes surrounded by a border. There is a red glow and white sparkles surrounding the outside of the archway. The door is slightly open, and a white light is emanating from the crack. The gold keystone in the archway above the door has the Santaverse A logo embossed on it.
