Celebrate 15th Birthday Bear Plush (8.5") - Ty - Original Beanie Babies Series - (2001)

Celebrate the Bear is a special Ty Beanie Baby created to mark Ty Inc.'s 15th anniversary, making it a notable commemorative release within the original Beanie Babies collection. Introduced in 2001, this cheerful 8.5-inch bear features a soft pastel tie-dye pattern blending pink, green, blue, yellow, and lavender tones across its seated teddy-bear body. Rounded ears, shiny black eyes, and a classic black nose preserve the familiar Ty aesthetic, while a translucent pink ribbon adds a delicate celebratory accent. The colorful fabric gives Celebrate a playful appearance that stands out among more traditionally colored vintage Beanie Babies.

The chest carries an embroidered anniversary emblem featuring a red heart and “Ty 15 Years” lettering in white, clearly identifying its commemorative purpose. Celebrate is particularly significant because it was the first Beanie Baby bear created specifically to celebrate Ty's company birthday. Its hang tag further reinforces the anniversary theme with a dedicated poem and a March 13, 2001 birthday. With its soft plush construction and compact collectible size, Celebrate works beautifully as a nostalgic display piece, anniversary-themed collectible, or conversation-starting addition to an established Ty collection.
