They were purchased and stored in the spare room closet since new. I have the entire collection 21 years 1985-2005 available plus the 2007 Macy's attempt to knockoff the craze. Mr Bear. Miss Bear.

The Dayton Hudson Marshall Field Santa Bear has a cherished history rooted in the department store’s beloved holiday traditions. Introduced in 1985 by Dayton's department store, the Santa Bear quickly became a symbol of holiday cheer and nostalgia. This plush bear, released annually with a new themed outfit, was part of Dayton Hudson Corporation's promotional holiday campaign, captivating the hearts of children and collectors alike. Dayton Hudson, later becoming part of the larger Marshall Field’s family and eventually evolving into Target Corporation, brought the Santa Bear to life each year with unique designs and accompanying stories. Each edition often featured a special outfit and accessories, reflecting that year’s festive theme, such as ski gear, aviator costumes, or traditional Santa attire. The bears were often accompanied by books or promotional items that added to their appeal and collectability. The Santa Bear became a sought-after holiday staple for families in the Midwest and beyond. The bears were sold during the peak shopping season and often came with tags or limited-edition markers that made them highly collectible over the years. The Santa Bear line was so popular that it eventually expanded into other themed bears and holiday merchandise. Collecting Santa Bears not only celebrates a piece of retail and holiday history but also recalls an era of department store magic, where elaborate window displays and festive promotions drew families into a world of Christmas wonder. The bears continue to hold sentimental value for collectors and holiday enthusiasts, symbolizing the warm, nostalgic feelings of holiday seasons past.
