Did you know that Cinnamon Bear dates back to 1937? It started as a 26-chapter holiday radio program series written by Glanville and Elizabeth Heisch. Each year, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, it became a ritual to listen to Cinnamon Bear on the radio and count down the days to Christmas. It was so popular that Cinnamon Bear took up residence at Lipman and Wolfe Stores, the radio program's sponsors, at Christmas time from the 1940s – 1980s, just like Santa Claus. In fact, many children of Portland wrote their letters to Cinnamon Bear. The biggest prize in meeting the Cinnamon Bear in person was the cinnamon cookie.
Portland Spirit loves continuing this local tradition, and they've even partnered with the local bakery Simply Sweets to bake and wrap custom cinnamon bear cookies to give to each child on the cruise, continuing the tradition!
These cruises will get booked up, so act now to ensure your spots!
