Department store Holiday bears?

[disneyofcourse]

Do places still have the Holiday bears? I remember as a kid always getting the Bloomingdales or Macy's bears. Wondering if they still have those and when do they usually come out. I can't seem to find any links or photos with the bears I used to have. I guess it was the 80's when I got my first bears so they may not make them anymore. Do they have a specific name?

I know for certain that Bloomingdale's still has "the little brown bear" every year. They should be in stores in the next few weeks.

Macy's has had a different animal to correspond with the parade each year, I think last years was Mickey Mouse in a sailor outfit.

I was at Jockey today and they already had a cute little holiday bear. We have too many plush, so I did not buy one; but it was really cute.

The ones I'm thinking about were usually white with a Holiday hat and I think the year on one of the feet. Not tiny bears and not huge, about the size of a young toddler.

Hudsons had them every year. The bear always looked the same but it had a slightly different hat and scarf each year. I still have one of mine with my holiday decorations.

Just googled them. They were called Santa Bears available at Dayton and Hudsons. Ebay has a bunch of them, from what is listed on there it looks like they stopped around 2000.
