'santa's helpers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for elves that I've seen before include "Santa's little helpers" , "Imps, pixies" , "Little people" , "Legendary little beings" , "mischievous kids?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the USA Today, the Newsday, The Telegraph and The Sun.
