    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!

This would make such a sweet Christmas family movie

I keep singing, “Here is the Cinnamon Bear” to myself randomly throughout the day! I was looking for Christmas productions to listen to, and this one was wonderful. I wish I could have finished it before Christmas but it’s still super sweet! Please everyone take your time, and listen to the music and the story, it’s really wonderful for everyone of all ages. I’m not a child and haven’t been for years but I still love the holidays and I love the Audible “radio show” performances! It’s really odd how tv completely replaced radio so fast, and this reminds me of what it must have been like years ago for people when they would gather around the radio rather than the tv. I love Audible because I can keep my hands and eyes available to drive and do chores while also being entertained. Audible needs more of these storied performances. I still stand by my review title though, this would be a great movie, because a lot of kids can’t sit still to listen to it and parents won’t even try so I hope someone picks it up and makes it into the production it deserves. It would awesome if done like Jim Henson, I can see the characters like characters from Labyrinth. Ryan Reynolds as Santa also was a hilarious choice. This is literally packed full of celebrities voices who you will recognize immediately if you miss the credits in the beginning. So I hope everyone enjoys the Cinnamon Bear as much as I did! It really is still a good story for this time of year. Enjoy!

Great story!

I love this story especially when the dragon said “do you have any friends young Judy?” and then Judy said “not really” and the dragon said “hmmm” it was sooo funny!

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!❤️
