'''''Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot''''' is a CGI-animated series airing on Creator/TheHub based on the highly popular Franchise/CareBears franchise. The series premiered on June 2, 2012 and has been ordered for 26 episodes. The series follows in the vein of the previous ''Care Bears: Adventures in Care-A-Lot'' by featuring both episodes in which the Care Bears must help out real kids, but also includes those focusing solely on the bears themselves. The previously introduced character of Oopsy Bear has been eliminated, as well as the villain Grizzle and his robotic minions. The series instead features Beastly, a villainous minion from the 80s films, though he has become much more of a comic mischief-maker, accompanied by two little "Beasties." The series also restores Tenderheart Bear as the leader of the characters, and introduces a new young girl bear named Wonderheart Bear, Tenderheart's niece, a ConstantlyCurious bear who doesn't yet know what her belly badge does. New episodes currently air on Saturday mornings on The Hub and repeats are seen throughout the week. Episodes are presented in widescreen HD where available. Recent episodes can also viewed at The Hub's official website.

* PersonalitySwap: Happens in "Feeling Flu" when all of the main cast members, bar Tenderheart and Harmony, catch an odd flu that causes them to swap personalities and feelings. Tenderheart already had it as a kid, and Harmony managed to avoid by taking extra-good care of herself in preparation for an upcoming concert. Funshine Bear gets Grumpy Bear's personality, while Funshine's goes to Share Bear. Grumpy Bear gets Cheer Bear's personality, and Cheer gets Share's. Wonderheart Bear and Beastly directly swap personalities.

* EveryoneLaughsEnding: "Share Squared," possibly others
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Rainbows have pretty much always had power in the ''Care Bears'' franchise, but in this series their power seems to have been turned up even further with rainbow rays and more.

* AwardBaitSong: "When Life is Like a Sad Song" from "Sad About You" has a definite feel of this and comes complete with Joy (the human visitor of the day) and Grumpy Bear waving candles, a reference to the candle-waving often seen at the performances of certain power ballads, most notably Music/LynyrdSkynyrd's "[=FreeBird=]."
