Build-A-Bear Workshop Tranforms Into Santa's Workshop
Build-A-Bear Workshop has become Santa's Workshop for the holidays. The retailer says Santa and his helpBEARS magically transformed Build-A-Bear Workshop stores across the world into Santa's Workshop just for the holidays. The retailer won't disclose its relationship with Santa. Guests will be able to mingle with magical elves and become honorary elves themselves while making personalized gifts for friends and family.
Build-A-Bear Workshop will also donate 100,000 stuffed animals and toys to Toys for Tots through a two-month campaign. Here are some of the highlights:
On Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 7 and 8, stores in the United States will serve as Toys for Tots donation drop-off locations. Guests are encouraged to bring in a new, unwrapped toy or make a furry friend to donate to a child in need this holiday season.
On Saturday, Nov. 21, Build-A-Bear Workshop will host screening parties of its original holiday classic, Holly and Hal Moose: An Uplifting Christmas Adventure. The film will premiere Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 7 p.m. EST/6 p.m. CDT on ABC Family. Guests will get to see the movie for free in a private screening when they donate a new, unwrapped gift to Toys for Tots.
Dec. 2-6, a virtual giving quest will be featured at buildabearville.com. Each time a Build-A-Bearville citizen finishes the online quest, Build-A-Bear Workshop will donate a "real world" toy to Toys for Tots.
