Mary Tyler Moore Gets Her Own Santabear Inspired By Mary Richards' Hat Toss, Available At Dayton's Holiday Market

CBS Minnesota

November 5, 2026

Mary Richards' famous hat toss is now a Santabear. Dayton's Holiday Market is releasing a Mary Tyler Moore edition of the Minnesota holiday collectible, and 10% of every bear sold will go to the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative.

The bear wears Richards' peacoat with anchor buttons, carries a little black handbag and, of course, has the unmistakable beret. A statue at Nicollet and 7th in Minneapolis honors the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its lasting impact on the city's national image. The bear brings the moment of Richards tossing her hat in the air to life in a way fans can take home.

The Mary Tyler Moore Santabear costs $129. It will be available at Dayton's Holiday Market at the Dayton's Project along Nicollet Mall, starting with a sneak-peek pre-sale from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 11.
