Little Bear Catering recently had the honor of teaming up with the Hallmark Channel on an inspiring episode of Celebrations with Lacey Chabert to recognize the remarkable work of Tanya, an LA firefighter. By bringing together the essence of a traditional Thanksgiving meal—but with laid-back, LA-esque beach vibes—it was an unforgettable, heartfelt celebration filled with warmth and gratitude.
As a premier choice for corporate catering in LA, Little Bear Catering was thrilled to help pay tribute to Tanya’s dedication to her community and her impactful mentorship of aspiring female firefighters. While working alongside Lacey Chabert, the Little Bear team crafted a comforting, family-style menu, perfect for Tanya and her loved ones to share together.
This collaboration was a true celebration of Tanya’s commitment to uplifting and inspiring the next generation of firefighters, and it was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful event. Before we take you for a look inside the event, meet Tanya:
Celebrations with Lacey Chabert highlights a true Los Angeles hero
As you’ll learn in the episode, Tanya has not only met the high demands of first response—but has also dedicated herself to mentoring young women in the LAFD. She is a role model who demonstrates resilience, skill, and leadership, and works to guide the next generation of female firefighters. Tanya’s impact extends far beyond her immediate work, helping to build a brighter future for both the LAFD and the broader community.
In this episode of Celebrations with Lacey Chabert, the goal was to recognize Tanya’s invaluable contributions—especially the sacrifices she makes to serve through the holiday season—by giving her a day of joy and relaxation, surrounded by loved ones. To bring this event to life, the Hallmark Channel sought an LA catering company that could blend meaningful, personal details with the comforting spirit of traditional festive foods.
The result was a heartwarming beachside Thanksgiving celebration filled with laughter, gratitude, and family fun—a beautiful tribute to Tanya’s dedication and the profound impact she’s had on those around her.
Thanksgiving by the Sea: an especially memorable LA catering event
Creating a beachside Thanksgiving was an unforgettable experience, and the team worked to put a relaxed, refreshing twist on a traditional celebration. For LA catering companies like Little Bear, the goal is always to tailor each event to suit the occasion, atmosphere, and, in this case, the extraordinary guest of honor.
Little Bear Catering wanted to bring together the warmth and family-focused feel of classic Thanksgiving comfort foods—like turkey and pumpkin pie—with fresh, vibrant ingredients that matched the scenic oceanfront setting. Set to the soundtrack of soothing waves in the background, Tanya and her family enjoyed the familiar spirit of the holiday while savoring nostalgic, comforting dishes.
