Mr. Bingle is a snowman character created for the bygone Maison Blanche department store. He was conceived in 1948 by Emile Alline Sr, the store's display manager. Initially named "Snow Doll," he was renamed Mr. Bingle to align with the store owner's preference for the initials "MB." Mr. Bingle became a beloved New Orleans Christmas tradition through puppet shows and radio and television commercials.
