Brrrrrr, it is cold outside! As the cool air starts to make its way around the United States, people are beginning to feel the holiday sprite. If you want to get a jump on your holiday shopping, now is the time. The good news is that you can buy Hallmark ornaments year-round. In fact, you can collect them from the first day of the year to the last, both in the store and online. However, the perfect time to shop for your Hallmark Ornaments is right now! Why, you ask?

Special and limited edition ornaments usually sell quick and become harder and harder to find closer to Christmas. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that the really popular Hallmark Keepsake lines sell out fast.

The new “A Charlie Brown Christmas” storyteller ornaments bring back nostalgia for anyone who is a collector of the Peanuts series, Charlie Brown fan, while “The Blushing Bride Tasmanian She-Devil” will delight those who are fans of Looney Tunes.

A 2018, Harry Potter Hallmark Ornament, First Impressions, shows Harry and Professor Snap in class at Hogwarts. The Harry Potter Series Hallmark Ornaments are usually move fast.

Many things make Hallmark ornaments highly collectible such as the quality and charm of each and every ornament they release. But most of the fun comes in building your collection.

It is always nice to see the big guy. We also have the tradition of putting up more Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will not be too cold outside.

I have a few more trees to put up in my home right after Thanksgiving. One of the 2018 Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments I am excited to put up is the 2018 Christmas Belle, from the Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast. This is a Premium ornament that comes in a special box.

Peanuts Gang for the Holidays

Posted on November 3, 2018 by TheOrnamentFactory

As I have talked about in previous blogs about the Peanuts characters, they are a well liked series with Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. many traditions have been made with these ornaments and movies. The holidays wouldn’t be the same without A Charlie Brown Christmas. Since its premiere Dec. 9, 1965, the Emmy-winning TV special has become a cherished tradition in millions of homes around the globe.

2018 Hallmark Keepsake Peanuts Ornament

From the 2018 Hallmark Ornament collection is Snoopy Skates. Pull the lever to see the scene illuminate, and watch Snoopy skate along to a jazzy tune.

Classic Characters

Linus is one the Peanuts Gang that is well loved. He is known for carrying around his blanket everywhere he goes. A Comfy Christmas for Linus was released in 2017.

My personal favorite Peanuts Hallmark Ornament is the 2007 What Christmas is All About. Year after year, viewers are drawn to the simple story of Charlie Brown and his search, amid the season’s hype and hoopla, for the meaning of Christmas. It is near the end of the special, when Linus recites the biblical account of the Baby’s birth, that we truly learn “what Christmas is all about.” This is a rare Hallmark Ornament.

Pigpen is having fun in this 2016 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament called Pigpen’s Snow Angel.

The Peanuts Gang Hallmark ornaments make a great addition to any tree or you can just have a tree dedicated to them. They will bring back many fond memories of watching the movies.

I appreciate you taking the time to catch up with us elves here at The Ornament factory. Be sure to check out the website and place your orders to make sure you get the ornaments you would like. That is all for now. Our work day is almost over and I’m excited to get some play time in with the other elves. Have a great day!

The Peanuts characters have been a long standing tradition with Hallmark Ornaments. Over the years there are been more than just ornaments too. There have been miniature figurines you can collect to help decorate a table or something that was not a tree. There have been Hallmark Ornaments for other holidays too!

How beautiful it would be to have a 4th of July tree decorated in the red, white, and blue! These 2 Hallmark Ornaments would help to make it look even more patriotic.

2012 Beagle Scout Salute is an ornament to help celebrate the holiday.

Why not just keep the Christmas tree up and add a few more Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments to decorate for New Years! The 2013 New Year’s Celebration would help to decorate any tree for New Year’s.

Valentines Day…..

A beautiful red or pink tree would be so romantic with hearts and lights to show iff your Hallmark ornaments for Valentines Day. One or more of these 2013 Linus’s Big Heart would look great on a Valentines Day tree! Linus is holding a large red heart that says Be Mine.

Peanuts Hallmark Ornaments

Posted on October 25, 2018 by TheOrnamentFactory

The Peanuts movies are classic holiday movies that are enjoyed every year by those young and old. The characters are recognized by many. Scenes from the Christmas movie are cherished and repeated often.

The Beginning of the Peanuts as Hallmark Ornaments…..

Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments started making ornaments of the Peanuts character back in 1977. The first ornament was a bulb showing a classic scene from the holiday classic where Lucy is listening to Schroeder play the piano and she is saying Merry Christmas.

The second Hallmark ornament that was released the same year is also a bulb. This one has the year, 1977, on it and Snoopy, Woodstock, and Linus admiring the beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

There are two other Peanuts Hallmark Ornaments that were released that year that are also bulbs. These also have classic scenes from the holiday movie classic.

As the Years Went On….

As the years went on the Hallmark ornaments showing the Peanuts characters continued to be bulbs with classic scenes from the movies. It was not until 1985 that the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament for the Peanuts characters was not a bulb. It was a Snoopy figurine. The Peanuts Hallmark Ornament bulbs continued for some years after but Hallmark also continued making the ornament figurines of the iconic characters. The 1989 Snoopy and Woodstock ornament shows Snoopy and Woodstock have fun stepping out, ‘Cause dancing for joy’s what the season’s about!

There are several series within the Peanuts Hallmark Keepsake Series like The Peanuts Gang series. This series has all of the Peanuts Gang in individual Ornaments.

The series started off with dear sweet Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown, Peanuts Gang #1 has Charlie Brown with the snowman he built of himself.

Here is Lucy, Peanuts Gang #2.

Will Lucy play a merry trick on good ole’ Charlie Brown?
Is Christmas in December? Will Santa come to town?

Classic Scenes from the Movies….

As the ornament continued to come from Hallmark they showed different iconic scenes from the holiday classic. One of my favorites is Lucy and her stand. The Holiday Advice Booth is a great addition to your Christmas tree and Peanuts Tree.

Are you suffering from Baking Burnout? Gift List Confusion? Mistletoe Phobia? Never fear. Lucy van Pelt is here. And she knows the answer to every questionâ??just ask her friends in the PEANUTS gang! Lucy loves giving advice almost as much as she loves hearing those “clinking nickels.” You’re in luck today, because “The Doctor is IN.”

Look for a continuation of this blog about the Hallmark Peanuts Characters later. For now, I’m off and back to work I go at The Ornament Factory!

The Best Way to Showcase Your Halloween Hallmark Ornaments

Posted on October 11, 2018 by TheOrnamentFactory

With all this talk about Hallmark Halloween Ornaments, most people use ornaments to decorate their Christmas tree, there are others who don’t want to make Hallmark ornaments only about the Christmas holiday. If you are someone who loves Halloween, why not show off your Halloween spirit by displaying some of the coolest, creepiest, and downright ghoulie, Hallmark ornaments that trick or treaters will get a kick out of. Hallmark ornaments aren’t just for Christmas. They are excellent year round, especially at Halloween.

Where to Hang Your Halloween Hallmark Ornaments

If you are having a hard time figuring out where to display your ornaments, the best place to showcase them is in your entryway. Put up a string over your front door to hang your most prized Halloween Hallmark ornaments so that people see them right away. The ornaments will look super festive, and they’ll be there for everyone to see when they enter. Trick or treaters will also be excited by the fun surprise of different colors, characters, and intricate scenes that are the signature of Halloween Hallmark ornaments.

Around the Front Porch

If you really want to go all-out, hang your Halloween Hallmark ornaments on the front porch awning or even on the railing. As long as they are sheltered from inclement weather, you can hang them outdoors for curbside onlookers to see. If you are concerned about leaving them outdoors, hang them from a plant and bring them outdoors when it is nice and move them easily indoors when it isn’t.

Around Your Halloween Party Table

If you are having a Halloween party, the perfect way to showcase your Hallmark Halloween ornaments is to have them hanging as a decorative centerpiece to your buffet. They not only make the room more festive, but they are also an excellent conversation piece. Stick with one Halloween theme to make it a themed party, or throw all sorts of characters together to make it a mish-mash of Halloween fun. Have a Charlie Brown themed pumpkin patch party, or make it Wizard of Oz. That’s the fun of Halloween Hallmark ornaments; there are hundreds to choose from.

They Also Make Great Hostess Gifts

If you are headed out to a Halloween party, take a Halloween Hallmark ornament as a hostess gift. It is the gift that keeps giving year after year. In fact, make it your “thing” to be the one who gets other people collecting. Every year they will know what to expect from you, in a good way.

Hallmark ornaments are not just for Christmas. If you’re one who doesn’t want to wait for the holidays to hang your ornaments, show off your Halloween spirit. Start collecting all your favorite characters at Hallmark Ornaments today!

Hope this helps some of you with your Halloween decorating! Until next time!

Peanuts Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Collection

Posted on August 29, 2011 by TheOrnamentFactory

Peanuts, a beloved American comic strip, written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, ran for fifty years in the daily and Sunday newspapers. The strip is considered to be one of the most popular in the history of the medium, with over 17,000 strips published. It has been described as “the most shining example of the American success story in the comic strip field,” based on the theme of “the great American un-success story.” The main character, Charlie Brown is portrayed as nervous and lacking self-confidence–being unable to fly a kite, win a baseball game or kick a football.

Peanuts has seen considerable success for its television specials–A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. As a child, it was a tradition to decorate our home for the holidays while these specials were on in the background. We enjoyed listening to the sweet young voices of the Peanuts gang, while hanging ornaments and tinsel on the tree.

Our huge selection of Hallmark Ornaments includes pieces from 1977-2011. You’re bound to find your favorite scenes and characters from the classic comic strip that we hold dearly in our hearts. The following ornaments are a few of our new and old favorites from over the years.

2011 Ho! Ho! Ho! Tasty Snow Peanuts Hallmark Keepsake Ornament

One of our favorite 2011 ornaments is a classic Peanuts Gang moment as Charlie Brown and Linus stick out their tongues to taste falling snow flakes, as Lucy sits back and makes sure they get their fill. This catches a great scene of our favorite characters in the winter season.

The leader of the pack and most recognized character, Snoopy, is featured wearing his red Santa hat, with Woodstock, racing down the hill on his inner tube sled. The sled is decorated with racing flames and dated 2011 on the front. This miniature Hallmark Ornament is a complement to the Winter Fun with Snoopy miniature ornament series.

These ornaments are great additions to your tree if you’re planning on a Peanuts theme this holiday season. Get prepared early for the holidays by previewing our entire collection on the website. We guarantee you’ll find a beautiful piece that will create many more memories for your family to enjoy.
