Christmas in Portland, Oregon

[12][13][14] Following the store's closure, some items from Santaland were donated to the Oregon Historical Society (OHS)[15][16] and the Portland Business Alliance.

OHS has continued to display the nostalgia, which includes animatronic elves, a mechanical Rudolph, a model of Santaland's original monorail, a Cinnamon Bear costume, and a chair used for Santa Claus greetings.

Along with Santa Claus, children could meet the bear at Lipman's flagship store (which is today home to the Royal Sonesta hotel).

Though versions of Cinnamon Bear made a few community appearances in the early 1990s, he began to fade from Portlanders' collective Christmas memories.

[22][23] The Oregon Symphony hosts Gospel Christmas at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall each year.

[27][28] In addition to the Christmas Ships Parade and the Pioneer Courthouse Square Christmas tree, light displays are found at Peacock Lane in southeast Portland's Sunnyside neighborhood, at the Oregon Zoo in Washington Park for the ZooLights event, and at The Grotto in northeast Portland's Madison South neighborhood for the Festival of Lights.

Portland has also had Krampus greetings[42] (as an alternative to Santa greetings) and Fear PDX has hosted a Krampus-themed haunted house in December.

[48][49] The radio stations KFIS and KKCW, which serve the Portland metropolitan area, play Christmas music.

[53] KGW has broadcast an hour-long special of the lighting ceremony for the Pioneer Courthouse Square Christmas tree, featuring a sing-along led by Pink Martini.
