Spring may have sprung, the clocks gone forward, and it might be getting warmer again, but when you’re Hallmark, the holiday season is forever—and never too far enough to start advertising your bizarre pop culture tree ornaments. And this year, those ornaments are glaring back at you.
Hallmark has lift the lid on a bunch of its upcoming 2024 holiday ornaments, and while there’s a few offerings from other franchises, like Lord of the Rings, Dune, Avatar: The Way of Water—Payakan hive, it is once again time to rise—Stranger Things, and more, as always the proceedings are dominated by Star Wars and Star Trek.
There’s a few pulls from across both franchises this year, like Star Wars now having Ahsoka under its belt, so you can get an artfully-done Grand Admiral Thrawn, or the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace giving a chance for Darth Maul to fly his little sith speeder around your branches. On the Trek front, this certainly isn’t the year of Festive Ornament of Spock’s Death, but it has an almost better alternative: Festive Diplomatic Negotiations, in a recreation of Data meeting Spock in the TNG episode “Unification II.” And, of course, did we mention Captain Pike’s eyes yet? Oh god, the eyes. That is a little plastic man that is shocked to be hanging off of a festive tree.
Click through to see more of Hallmark’s offerings this year—but you’ll have to wait a little closer to the holidays to actually buy them, as they start becoming available in October.
