1997 Holiday Teddy Bear Plush (8.5") - Ty - Original Beanie Babies Series

The 1997 Holiday Teddy is a memorable piece of Ty Beanie Babies history and the first Christmas-themed Beanie Baby in Ty’s Holiday Teddy tradition. Introduced in October 1997, this charming brown teddy bear features the familiar rounded ears, black button-style eyes, black nose, and classic seated silhouette associated with the original Beanie Babies. His warm brown plush gives him a timeless teddy-bear appearance, while his festive accessories transform him into a distinctly nostalgic Christmas collectible.

What makes this Holiday Teddy especially notable is his red-and-white Santa hat, which features traditional white trim and gives the bear a cheerful seasonal character. A coordinating red-and-white scarf completes the holiday outfit, creating a cohesive Christmas-inspired presentation. As the first Beanie Baby to wear a Santa hat, this release has added historical appeal for collectors interested in early Ty designs and the development of the Holiday Teddy tradition. His compact 8.5-inch size makes him well-suited for Christmas displays, vintage Beanie Baby collections, or nostalgic holiday decorating.
