    Ah, remember ye olde days when the family would gather around the giant Philco radio and listen to serials? You don’t? We don’t either. But apparently that’s how Cinnamon Bear was born on November 26, 1937, as the star of a holiday season cliff-hanger-style children’s radio series. We hear it was quite the rage!

Happy to hear my old friends and their story!

I am thrilled this is available. Can't wait to hear these NEW versions. My younger brother and I listened to the original stories in the early 1950s on the radio when we were very young. This is a fantastic addition to my list of Christmas favorites. I can't wait to introduce these to my grandchildren! Thank You!

My kids love it

Who am I kidding? I have no kids. It is I who love it to bits. And I'm not even a Christmas person

Family is loving these!

Listened to first seven today and can’t wait for next one to release on Monday! Whole family enjoying these including kids ranging from 6-12 and both adults. Recommend for an enjoyable listen on quick car trips or sitting by fire before bedtime.

Delightful adventure full of fun characters!

I can't understand all of the negative reviews. I think people are too busy comparing it to an old version of this story. I loved it! It takes you on a fun adventure and you get to meet a lot of interesting characters. It was snarky, amusing and sweet! I highly recommend it! I thought it was an excellent cast as well!

What a Christmas Gift!

Not knowing the original story, the trailer left me a little confused. BUT... the episodes pull everything together and are absolutely delightful! I don't have kids but so thoroughly enjoy these episodes and can't wait for this "journey" to wind up at Christmas. I've told all my friends with kids to make this their bedtime routine for this holiday season. What a wonderful gift for the holiday and a beautiful tradition to pass on to little ones. Thank you for filling my heart with joy!❤️

Riveting for 5-7 old boys

This program is the #1 choice for my 5 and 7 year old boys. They have a few giggles and pass out within 2 episodes. Thank God they are releasing new episodes in quick order.

Fun, seasonal story for the ride to school!

Loved this story! I can't say that I loved it immediately but a few episodes in I really started to wonder what was going to happen next and it just got better and better! we listen to this on the way to and from school and it's a hit! The cast is numerous and does a great job!

If you don’t get it, you need serious introspection

Hilarious remake of a Chicagoland radio classic. All-star cast. Sense of humor required. It does make fun of itself, but that’s the charm. Kudos to Mr. Gilliland.
