SM will also continue its beloved BEARS OF JOY initiative; but this time, with a more cuddly, fluffy look! For every bear purchased, another will be donated to a child in need, spreading warmth and comfort to those craving the magic of Christmas. This year, SM is introducing Hug-A-Mood, a collection of huggable expressions that reflect the wide range of emotions children experience.

SM is also celebrating a hallmark of Christmas—the chorale! Starting November 22, the JOYFUL VOICES CHORALE sees the best choir groups from different schools, parishes, performing arts groups, and communities giving it their all in a stunning vocal performance, just in time for the holidays.
