The Cinnamon Bear is an American radio program produced by the Transcription Company of America in Hollywood, consisting of 26 fifteen-minute episodes written by Glan Heisch and Elisabeth Heisch and first broadcast daily from November 26 to December 25, 1937. It follows siblings Judy and Jimmy Barton as they journey to the magical land of Maybeland, aided by a stuffed toy bear named Paddy O'Cinnamon, to recover their family's missing Silver Star before Christmas, encountering fantastical characters including the Crazy Quilt Dragon and the Wintergreen Witch along the way. Styled deliberately after The Wizard of Oz and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the serial has been rebroadcast by stations somewhere in the country every holiday season since its debut, making it one of American radio's most enduring annual traditions.
