Teddy Bear Tea: A New Holiday Tradition
For children, the magic of the holidays is pure enchantment—a time when the world feels full of wonder and possibility. In their imaginations, elves are hard at work in the North Pole, putting the finishing touches on toys crafted just for them. Santa is busy preparing his reindeer for an extraordinary all-night journey to deliver a special gift beneath their tree. Fires glow warmly in the hearth, hot chocolate seems sweeter than ever, and little ones hold onto the hope that maybe—just maybe—this year will bring a blanket of snow.
At The Willcox, we embraced this holiday spirit by introducing a new tradition designed to fill hearts with joy and create lasting memories for families and children alike. Every Saturday leading up to Christmas, we hosted the Teddy Bear Tea: a magical event that brought the holidays to life for our youngest guests.
Surrounded by festive decorations that transformed The Willcox into a holiday wonderland, children delighted in a whimsical tea menu featuring fairy bread, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, miniature scones, gingerbread men, and more. The excitement didn’t stop there—Santa Claus himself made a special appearance, taking the time to speak with each child about their Christmas wishes. The sparkle in their eyes and the joy on their faces were truly unforgettable.
Teddy Bear Tea made its debut this holiday season, and it has already become a cherished event for everyone involved. Seeing the joy it brought to our young guests and their families was truly heartwarming. While this was our first year hosting the event, we’re excited to continue the tradition in the years to come, creating more magical memories that will last a lifetime.
