The Cinnamon Bear is a radio program which first aired in the fall of 1937. The series was comprised of 26 15 minute episodes.
The story focused on Judy and Jimmy Barton who must venture from their home to the enchanted world of Maybeland to recover their missing Silver Star that belongs on top of their Christmas tree. Helping on this quest for the missing star is The Cinnamon Bear, a stuffed bear with shoe button eyes and a green scarf. They meet other memorable characters on this quest, including the Crazy Quilt Dragon (who repeatedly tries to take the star for himself) , the Wintergreen Witch, Fe Fo the Giant, and even Santa Claus. The episodes would air starting at Thanksgiving and would end at Christmas, with one episode airing each night. The show was created by a group of merchants as an advertising promotion, and was recorded in a hurry in just a few weeks.
