First up, the Giants have to face the Sheffield Steelers on Friday night and then the Fife Flyers on Saturday, as they look to retain their place at the top of the Elite League.
The in-form Belfast side are already on a run of six successive wins and won't want to give any ground in the hunt of title glory.
Fan video: The Belfast Giants held a successful Teddy Bear Toss against the Dundee Stars last Christmas as well.
Their nearest challengers, the Nottingham Panthers, trail by five points - although the Giants do have one game in hand.
But after the weekend of away challenges, the Giants return home to the Odyssey Arena where they will take on the Dundee Stars on Saturday 17 December.
We think it’s a great way to include our fans in a holiday charity that highlights the importance of giving during the Christmas season.

And they're making an extra special request to their fans.
When the Giants net their first goal of the game, they're challenging everyone to throw as many cuddly toys as possible onto the ice to support their Teddy Bear Toss.
The players will rescue the toys and, the following week, deliver them to patients on the wards of the Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children and the Ulster Hospital Children's Ward.
For health and safety reasons, the soft toys must be new and sealed in a clear plastic bag and ideally suitable from birth upwards.
"It's that time of year again when the dark nights and cold weather sets in, but the warmth and generosity of Giants fans is at its best!" the Giants say.
"Christmas is such a special time of year for children and their families and it's important to remember that some families have to spend these days in the hospital.
"Help us make Christmas 2011 one to remember for families and fans!"
