Last year, New Taipei City’s Happy Christmas Town launched several Christmas bear souvenirs. This year, the design has been innovated again with the introduction of rare tartan-patterned Christmas bears in pink-blue and peach-pink colors—available only as giveaways, not for sale. In addition to appearing on the transparent promotional vehicles, these 7T-sized Christmas memorial bears will also be part of the “Bear Forest” Christmas installation made up of 800 small bears, which will debut at Banqiao Station’s B1 Plaza for netizens starting November 22. In the future, the New Taipei City Government plans to hold lucky draw events to give away bears, with details to be announced on the official event website.
