The Popular Hallmark Ornaments, Star Trek!

Growing up my dad would always watch Star Trek, so I watched it with him. I would imagine myself being on Star Trek and riding in the different ships and using the cool machines they had. Here are some of my favorites but you can look and find your favorites here.

Starship Enterprise….

The crown jewel of most Hallmark ornament collections, as well as many Star Trek collections, the 1991 Starship Enterprise is one of the most sought after Hallmark Keepsake ornaments ever produced. Modeled after the U.S.S. Enterprise from the 1960s hit television show, Star Trek, this Hallmark Keepsake Ornament features red and green flashing lights and a bridge light that glows. The timing of the release of this ornament helped to commemorate the twenty fifth anniversary of the original Star Trek television series. When this famous starship was released by Hallmark in 1991, it was the hit of the season, and impossible to locate by most avid Star Trek fans as Hallmark stores across the country sold out almost instantly, making it a highly sought after ornament by Hallmark ornament and Star Trek collectors alike.

Shuttlecraft Galileo….

The follow up to the 1991 Starship Enterpirse ornament, the Shuttlecraft Galileo Hallmark ornament was released in 1992, and was also a huge hit with Star Trek collectors. Not only did the cockpit of the NCC-1701/7 light up, but it also features a special holiday message from the First Officer of the USS Enterprise, Mr. Spock. To hear Spock’s message, “Shuttlecraft to Enterprise, Shuttlecraft to Enterprise. Spock here. Happy Holidays. Live long, and prosper,” press the button on the bottom of the shuttlecraft.

Starfleet Tricorder….

In Star Trek when they go on missions that always take their Starfleet Tricorder with them. Press the button on the ornament to see the screen illuminate and hear dialogue from from the original “STAR TREK” television series!

Star Trek Themed Hallmark Ornaments

Star Trek Hallmark Ornaments 2018

If you are a Trekkie, or you have someone on your Christmas list who is, now is an excellent time to add to your collection. The Star Trek Hallmark ornaments collection began in 1991 and has been going strong ever since. The first Star Trek ornament was the 1991 Starship Enterprise Hallmark Ornament. In 2010, due to the popularity of the Star Trek line, Hallmark started the Star Trek Legends series, which began with Captain James T. Kirk as the headliner first in the series.

2018 Revealed…

Those Trekkie fans who can’t get enough have been waiting with baited breath to find out what the new releases for 2018 will be. The word is finally out. The 2018 collection will add six more ornaments to the mix. This year, Hallmark has even added one from the Star Trek animated series.

Star Trek Hallmark Ornaments Released in July 2018

In July of this year, Hallmark released the scene from “The Naked Time.” This fun ornament depicts a shirtless Sulu fencing Captain Kirk atop the Enterprise bridge. The ornament is a “magic” one and plays the dialogue from the movie, making it even more spectacular. Also, in July, the Starfleet tricorder was revealed from the Original Series. It too is a magic ornament that lights up and plays the original Trek dialogue. The third release in July was the Crossfield-class DSS Discovery, announced and anticipated since September 2017. Lastly, the Constitution-class USS Enterprise was a throwback from the original Hallmark ornament first released in 1991. It is the seventh TOS-Era Enterprise Hallmark ornament.

2018 Hallmark Ornaments at the San Diego ComicCon

Over the years, Hallmark wanted to make something super special for Star Trek, and decided to reserve a few of the Star Trek Hallmark ornaments as convention-only exclusives. For 2018, the ornament will feature the 45th-anniversary commemoration of Star Trek: The Animated Series. It is a two-pack ornament set that contains the alien crew member favorites from the show. Lt. Arex and Lt. M’Ress, the three-armed navigator, are the very first Star Trek Hallmark ornaments fashioned after the Animated Series.

Since the Animated Series ornament set will only be available as convention exclusives and not in Hallmark stores, it will make them some of the rarest and most valuable items in your Star Trek ornament collection for years to come. If you can get your hands on one, you will have a very select piece.

Preview of 2012 Star Trek Hallmark Ornaments

We know that the 2011 ornament JUST came out, but we thought we’d give you a sneak peak of what is to come for 2012 just for fun! Every year at the San Diego Comic Convention (San Diego ComicCon, or SDCC), it has become a tradition to unveil the Star Trek Hallmark ornaments for the next year, and so now we are going to share what we learned with you.

2012 Dr. McCoy Hallmark Ornament

2012 Dr. McCoy Hallmark Ornament, #3 in the Star Trek Legends series.

Dr. McCoy is the 3rd in the Star Trek™ Legends ornament series, and the 2012 edition will have a very detailed Dr. McCoy holding a test tube and some medical equipment. As you can see just by glancing at the 2012 ornament, it will have a lot more detail than the original Dr. McCoy Hallmark ornament that was released back in 1997. The 2012 ornament will also feature Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy in sick bay, where most Trekkies were accustomed to seeing him perform medical miracles, rather than in a one-person transporter chamber. Needless to say, we feel that the 2012 ornament is definitely an upgrade from the ornament released back in 1997. Way to go Hallmark!

2012 Spocks Hallmark Ornament

2012 Spocks Hallmark Ornament; a scene from Star Trek 2009

The second 2012 Star Trek™ Hallmark ornament features Spock™ and … Spock™! This ornament depicts a scene from the 2009 Star Trek feature film, where the Spocks from the two different realities met at the end of the movie. This was definitely a classic moment in Star Trek “lore”, where the past and the present came together; where the torch was passed from one generation to the next. This ornament will feature dialogue from that scene.

Enterprise D 2012 Hallmark Ornament

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D 2012 Hallmark Ornament

Last but not least, we’re excited to share the new Star Trek lighted ship ornament for 2012, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, from Star Trek, The Next Generation. Unlike the original Enterprise D Hallmark Ornament that was released in 1993, this ornament will be powered by batteries instead of by a miniature light string. This Enterprise is very similar to the 2006 Enterprise Hallmark ornament. It will sit upon a base and will be easily displayed in two different ways – either on a Christmas tree or on a table top. The 2012 Enterprise D ornament is being released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

Of course, no one has these ornaments for sale right now, but The Ornament Factory will have them available … in July of 2012.

For THIS year’s Christmas tree, you can add 3 new Star Trek Hallmark Ornaments, Mr. Spock (#2 in the Star Trek Legends series), Mirror, Mirror (which features an evil Spock mind-melding with Dr. McCoy), and a 23rd-century Romulan Bird-of-Prey.
