Four Seasons Hotel Boston invites families to join in the spirit of giving at its celebrated holiday event, the Teddy Bear Tea.

Throughout December, Four Seasons Santa delivers hundreds of teddy bears to children in need through local non-profit organisations and hospitals – 40,000 have been donated to date. Families attending the Teddy Bear Tea are invited to place donated teddy bears under the special Teddy Bear Tree – adorned entirely with teddy bears – and then sit down to enjoy a memorable time in the Bristol Lounge.

Highlights of the Teddy Bear Tea include:

• Kids Giving Back to Kids contest for children aged 10 and under leading up to the Teddy Bear Tea – the top five “giving back” stories, as voted on by Teddy Bear Tea-goers, will be eligible to win the grand prize, a cookie-making class in the Four Seasons Pastry Shop
• Daily story time with special celebrity readers
• Visits to the table from Truffles the Bear
• Teddy-bear-themed sweet treats
• Special holiday tree adorned entirely with teddy bears
