D&D General Christmas elves in dnd?

I know it’s EXTREMELY early, but how would you fine people create Christmas elves in the various edition styles? Obviously they would need to be adapted for cold environments & have some skill bonuses in toy making skills of all sorts. Other than that I’m completely clueless.

Christmas elves are gnomes in D&D terms.

You know, when I first read your question, I read it like this:

And my first reaction was, a traditional monetary fine for those who dare create Christmas elves (and garden gnomes too) is appropriate, as corporal punishments are so passeé these days.

Came here to say this.

That could be fun to play around with in a D&D setting. Maybe Santa's helper-gnomes get really annoyed when people keep referring to them as elves. Or maybe they actually think of and refer to themselves as elves, much to the consternation of any actual elves they run into.

Or you could turn it on its head, and imagine what Santa's factory would be like if it was run by actual D&D elves.

I actually ran an extended version of the classic Orc and a Pie adventure as a christmas special some ten years ago. All the PC’s were gnomes who were servants of the Jolly Red Wizard. They were tasked with retrieving the pie from the orc. Much hilarity ensued...

I was thinking of something a little more spicy: goblins. Reskin, change alignment, done.

Idea:add the ability/spells of permanent haste and create object! it would explain why they can create so many toys in a year.
