A new tradition is emerging this holiday season, and yes it still involves Mariah Carey, along with a handful of your other favorite celebs and artists. Basically, Elf on a Shelf has met their competition.

Listen to your favorite Holiday music now on RADIO.COM.

When actress Garcelle Beauvais took to social media to share a Photoshopped image of Pharell Williams, where she is sitting on his shoulder and the image reads, "You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, now get ready for this,” implying the idea of Garcelle on Pharell, the internet went crazy.

Now we are sharing some of our favorite Photoshopped celebrity shoulder moments because they’re just too wholesome and funny not to show you.

1 Mariah Carey

We present to you Carrey on Carey! This is what happens when the Christmas Queen and Jim Carrey as The Grinch, collab on this holiday challenge.

2 Idina Menzel

It would literally be a travesty if Idina did not give us Denzel on Menzel. The Broadway star was challenged by her good friend Elizabeth Banks 

3 Elizabeth Banks

Wholesome! Hanks on Banks is the content we deserve this holiday season. The actress shared an image of herself where Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump sits atop her shoulder.

4 Reese Witherspoon

What do you get when you mash up the Legally Blonde legend with the iconic 1970s John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John movie musical? You get Grease on Reese of course! Witherspoon was the one who responded to Elizabeth Banks’ Hanks on Banks.

5 Taraji P. Henson

This is a duo we’d actually like to see happen! Taraji P. Henson joined in on the fun and gave us this gem. On Instagram, Taraji asks, “Y’all know Elf on the Shelf, but do y’all know Cardi B on Taraji P!?" Cardi has yet to follow up, but if she does we know she’ll deliver.

6 Kerry Washington

The actress had us all saying “baby, I’m grateful” after posting her Perry on Kerry moment. As Katy Perry graces the top of Washington’s shoulder we cannot help but wonder who Katy will employ for this challenge.

7 Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is just “having a little holiday fun” with her Mick on Nic pic. As Mick Jagger meditates on Kidman’s shoulder, the actress challenged Kerry Washington, Gal Gadot, and Mark Ruffalo to partake.

8 American Ferrera

After answering the pleas of many fans this actress finally gave “the people what they want” once sharing her Erykah on America challenge post. Erykah Badu takes Ferrera’s pink-clad shoulder very regally.
