Posing as the mischievous elf, Biel penned a note to both kids: “You better stay off the naughty list, or I’ll paint your faces FOR REAL, just like this,” it read with an arrow pointing to the photos.

The first slide showed one red-suited figure splayed out in what appears to be some sort of kitchen mishap, between the dusting of flour or sugar and spilled mini marshmallows. “Naughty ass elf 😏,” the7th Heavenalumna wrote in her caption.

In a following photo, Biel staged an elf with its arms over a bottle of ketchup and mustard, the same condiments that splattered the “Elf target practice” bullseye hung on the wall in front of it. Later in the carousel, an elf can be seen peeking out from a toaster with a sign reading, “It’s toasty in here … Keep it crispy this Christmas!”

For atrulycheeky prank, the actress draped the festive doll over a bathroom sink and placed a toothbrush between its legs. The “elf” addressed Silas in his note: “Thanks for letting me use your BUTT brush!” read a note in curly handwriting.

It wasn’t just Biel orchestrating behind the scenes either. Timberlake got in on the fun as well, according to an Instagram Reel he shared on Christmas Day. In his video, theelf stood behind a paper a turntablelabeled “DJ Fart-Butt.” The setup included other mini accessories, like a laptop, speakers and headphones.

Techno music blasted as the singer showed off the elf’s DJ booth from all angles. He panned up to his smirking wife and they repeated her original caption: “Naughty ass elf.”

“Daddy got ahold of the elf…” Timberlake wrote alongside the musical Reel from his account.
