In Elmo's World: Happy Holidays, it is revealed that the Bear family is Jewish.

Baby Bear is an important character from the Bear family on Sesame Street, and is best friends with Telly Monster. Baby Bear has always been the most frequently appearing character from the Bears, as he is the age of many viewers of the show. He has a speech impediment, pronouncing his "R"s like "W"s. For example, he pronounces "super hero" as "supo hewo". Baby Bear was performed by David Rudman.

"Hero Guy" is a character that Baby Bear creates on a piece of paper; he comes to life and has adventures with Baby Bear.

Papa Bear is the Bear family father. He generally wears a bowler derby. Before Curly Bear's season 34 birth, Papa Bear was the second most frequently appearing member of the Bear family, but that position has since been taken over by Curly. He is performed by Joey Mazzarino.

Mama Bear is the Bear family mother. She is a recycled version of Flo Bear and the same puppet has been used for normal bears.

He is performed by Camille Bonora, Alice Dinnean, and Jennifer Barnhart

Curly Bear is the Bear family daughter, Baby Bear's sister, and the youngest of the family. Since season 34, Curly has been the second most frequently-appearing of the Bears, after Baby Bear. Curly also makes an appearance in Elmo's Potty Time.
