The OneRedmond Holiday Elves Are Back: Book a 2026 Member Visit
The holidays will be here before we know it—and that means two familiar faces are getting ready to make their way around Redmond!
 |
Each holiday season, OneRedmond’s resident elves, Willow and Dale, visit member businesses throughout the community, getting into a little mischief along the way while helping us showcase the incredible places to shop, dine, stay, play, and do business in Redmond. What started as a fun seasonal idea has become a favorite OneRedmond tradition and a creative way to give participating members a little extra visibility during one of the busiest times of the year. |
A Look Back at the Elves’ Redmond Adventures
Over the years, Willow and Dale have gotten a pretty impressive tour of Redmond. They’ve checked into local hotels, sampled treats and restaurant favorites, gone shopping, explored new businesses, tried their hand at hot yoga, visited classrooms and, naturally, found plenty of opportunities for elf-sized mischief.

Seattle Marriott Redmond The elves checked in for an overnight adventure, complete with M Club treats, hot cocoa, cookies, and a festive stop at the bar. |
Primrose School of Redmond Willow and Dale explored one of Redmond’s newest schools, where toy cars, storytime, and a very tempting dollhouse awaited. |
Nékter Juice Bar A taste test was clearly required—from protein waffles and smoothies to the grab-and-go juice case. |
Be One Yoga Hot yoga, yoga blocks, and a little shopping resulted in one important discovery: scrunchies apparently double as elf-sized skirts. |
More Than Holiday Mischief
Behind all the elf-sized fun is a real opportunity to introduce your business to the OneRedmond community.
|
Each visit gives us a chance to create engaging, highly visual social media content centered around a OneRedmond member. Depending on your business, the elves might showcase a seasonal product, try a service, sample a menu item, explore your space, highlight a special offer, meet your team, or simply find a creative way to show our followers what makes your business worth discovering.

What Could Willow & Dale Do at Your Business?
You don't need an elaborate idea before signing up. Some of our favorite Elf Visits have come from simply looking around a member's business and asking, "What would two tiny elves get into here?"
Have a holiday product you'd like to showcase? A signature dish? A beautiful hotel room? A new service? A quirky piece of equipment? A great photo spot? We'll work with you to find a fun way for Willow and Dale to experience your business—and introduce it to our audience.
