Hallmark's Keepsake Berry Sweet Bear Christmas Ornament (2010)

Hallmark's Keepsake Berry Sweet Bear Christmas Ornament (2010)

Introducing A Berry Sweet Bear Hallmark Ornament


Let me introduce you to Hallmark Keepsake's Berry Sweet Bear Christmas Ornament. This bear was created by Sue Tague and was part of Hallmark's 2010 Christmas ornament collection. This cute little guy was issued in two colors known as "Chocolate" and "Vanilla."

The Chocolate Berry Sweet Bear was a contest prize during the 2010 ornament launch. Apparently, every store received one of the brown-colored bears to give away as a prize. That makes this bear a hard-to-find and sought after collector's item with only approximately 3,500 of them having been produced and put into circulation.

Hallmark calls The Vanilla Berry Sweet Bear (not shown here) a 'repaint' or 'colorway' of the first, the Chocolate bear. It was also be a contest prize and was given away in limited numbers during the Hallmark Artists On Tour signing events that year. The signing events took place in a number of U.S. locations over a period of approximately two months.

This ornament, which was released in 2010, has been retired. You can still occasionally find it on eBay by clicking right here.

Merry Christmas!
