Tori Spelling trusted her eldest child to take creative control over their Elf on the Shelf presentation. Instead of holiday spirit, however, the mom of five was met with an explicit surprise.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star spoke about the mishap on a Dec. 23 episode of her MisSpelling podcast, explaining how she shares elf display duty with her older four kids, Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 13, and Finn, 12.

Spelling noted that her elves can be a bit "naughty" and "rebellious." But when her daughters set up a magical scene for their 7-year-old brother Beau, Stella and Hattie tend to dress the shelf in cute and "artsy" styles. Meanwhile, Spelling says her boys add some edge: "They’re like, ‘Sex, love and rock and roll, minus the love.'"

She mentioned a time when she trusted Liam with the duty, and when she woke up the following morning, Beau claimed there was something wrong, and his elves needed "help." According to Spelling — who shares her kids with ex Dean McDermott — the four festive toys were arranged in what looked like "some porn massacre."

“It was like Elfie Does Dallas,” Spelling recalled, nodding to the 1978 pornographic movie Debbie Does Dallas. She even compared it to the online adult entertainment site OnlyFans, laughing as she dubbed it "OnlyElves."

"The elves were all doing various things to each other,” she described. “Mouths on different areas. Hands where they shouldn’t be. Some were upside down, all around.”

She said Liam's NSFW (nor safe for home) display also included kitchen-found props, like condiments and school snacks, such as beef sticks and cheese sticks from their refrigerator.

“It’s funny. I’m not going to lie, I laughed. But it was like, ‘Wow,’ ” Spelling admitted, though she said she told Liam and the other teens to “cut back on the dirtiness."

Finn, for his part, pulled a less racy but still edgy prank using a toy reindeer as well. Spelling recalled how he once arranged the elves around the animal, which he placed in a skillet. Next to the scene, a note read, "How do you like your reindeer: rare, medium or well done?”

"I said 'No, no, no, no,' " the Hollywood veteran clarified, remembering her response. "When it comes to elves and reindeer, we're vegan."
