Operation Santa Claus: 6 Christmas-themed plush toys of popular Disney characters to be sold online for Hong Kong charity campaign
- Handmade ‘Christmas Duffy’ and ‘LinaBell’ plush toys are now on display at Marty’s General Store at Hong Kong Disneyland
- Event is a collaboration between the theme park and Operation Santa Claus, an annual charity drive organised by the South China Morning Post and RTHK
Six Christmas-themed plush toys of popular Disney characters will be sold online this month for a Hong Kong charity campaign in an effort to promote the values of love and friendship during the holiday season.
The six handmade “Christmas Duffy” and “LinaBell” plush toys are now on display at Marty’s General Store at the theme park until December 13, the second day of the two-day online event. All proceeds will be used to support the 16 charities covered under this year’s OSC campaign.
The characters from the Duffy and Friends universe embodied the values of love and friendship, which were particularly significant during the holidays, said Mary Lam, director of merchandise at Hong Kong Disneyland.
“All of these plush toys [to be donated to OSC] are handmade by skilled artisans,” she said. “Each one is a unique collector’s item, complete with a certificate and presented in an intricately designed box.”
The “Holiday Wishes Charity Postcards” fundraiser is also making a return for the fifth consecutive year, with an aim to spread the holiday spirit by sending tens of thousands of Christmas wishes to the family and friends of guests at the Disneyland resort in the city.
Each postcard costs HK$10 (US$1.20) and the proceeds will be donated to OSC.
