Paul Middleton’s Bear-Themed Christmas Designs Shine at Berlin’s LGBTQ+ Christmas Market

British artist and singer Paul Middleton is spreading holiday cheer in Berlin this December with his playful, bear-themed Christmas designs showcased at Christmas Avenue, the city’s iconic LGBTQ+ Christmas Market.

Known for celebrating the bear community through his stunning clothing and merchandise, Paul has created festive designs that bring humor, inclusivity, and joy to the season.

His new collection features delightful imagery, including a “Hot Daddy Santa,” a vibrant Christmas Market scene with playful elves and a drag Mrs. Claus, and bears and twinks having holiday fun.

Paul, a talented designer and a proud bear himself, has made it his mission to spotlight and celebrate bear culture, showing that the LGBTQ+ community is as diverse as it is fabulous.


Paul’s presence at Christmas Avenue has already made waves, with coverage on ABC News and Yahoo News highlighting his contributions to the vibrant LGBTQ+ market.

A particularly festive moment came when pop superstar Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix visited Paul’s stall.

The singer picked up a Blue Santa Sweater and some wrapping paper, much to Paul’s excitement. “She was so lovely and friendly,” Paul shared. “Jade was interested in the bear themes of my designs, so I explained the bear flag and bear culture, and how we don’t always conform to gay stereotypes. She loved learning about the bear flag.”

For those looking to add some unique LGBTQ+ flair to their holiday celebrations, Paul’s collection has something for everyone.

From festive Christmas cards, sweaters, T-shirts, and ornaments, his designs are perfect for gifts or adding a touch of fun to your own holiday traditions.
