At this time of the year, many people like to check out the Christmas decorations in different neighbourhoods and that appears to be true for bears as well.

Global News viewer Lexi Verano shared a video showing the front door of her Port Coquitlam home.

It shows a young bear checking out an inflatable snowman on her doorstep on Tuesday.

The bear gives the snowman a nose-poke, a gentle swat and then a little bite on the snowman’s glove.
