The Elf-in-the-Box is a toy float from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Elf-in-the-Box toy float debuted in the 1993 Parade, featuring an inflatable elf decked out in multi-colored clothing. During its second appearance in 1994, the body of the float began to deflate eventually causing its removal from the route. It was disposed somewhat in the 2000s.
