For longtime Daily Dead readers, it should come as no shock that I’m a big fan of Hallmark’s Keepsake Ornament line, as I regularly put each year’s collection in the spotlight for my annual Holiday Gift Guide in December (and have personally been collecting them for decades now). And for 2017, Hallmark has absolutely outdone themselves, as they have dozens of great new ornament selections that were recently revealed, and for those of us who dig horror, sci-fi, and comics-based entertainment, be prepared to go broke trying to keep up with all the great ornaments coming our way this year.
Of course, the biggest thrill for me has to be the amazing new X-Files themed ornament which features both Mulder and Scully (and plays the theme song, too, GASP!), but the Power Loader Aliens ornament featuring Ripley, as well as the Beetlejuice and Skeletor ornaments, caught my eye immediately, too. And for those of you who dig Star Wars, Star Trek, DC, and Marvel comics, there’s plenty for you to enjoy, too.
Here’s a look at the genre-related Hallmark ornaments arriving over the course of the next few months (there are several different waves of releases, so be sure to keep an eye on those dates), and for those of you who celebrate Halloween via a tree and ornaments, Hallmark has a variety of items that might be of interest to you as well.
Check out the gallery of genre-themed Hallmark Keepsake ornaments below (including a special Halloween selection), and to learn more about the Keepsake collection, visit Hallmark online.
