It isn't easy as they juggle the factory elves, including Nick's head elf Matilda (Nicole Byer) and political activist Helenor (Sasheer Zamata), as well as parenting two sons - Nick's mini-me Harry (Sungwon Cho) and the crown prince, Jack (Timothy Simons), who's not only next in line for the Suit, but also looking to rebrand it.
