Making its debut in late 1984 at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort, The Country Bear Christmas Special opened as a seasonal overlay to the immensely popular Country Bear Jamboree attraction. A few baubles of the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom shows’ past are safely guarded in the Walt Disney Archives collection.
Liver-Lips’ Christmas tree-shaped guitar is one of the props that reside in the care of the Walt Disney Archives.

Though Country Bear Playhouse at Disneyland closed in September 2001, the show ran on at Magic Kingdom Park until 2006. A similar show titled Jingle Bell Jamboree has run seasonally in Westernland at Tokyo Disneyland since December 1991, delighting a whole new international audience.
