KANSAS
CITY, Mo., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The holiday
season may be a few months away, but Hallmark is getting into
cheerful spirits early with Keepsake Ornament Premiere,
July 13-21. The annual event releases
more than 250 Keepsake Ornaments from Hallmark's 2024 collection,
including a new 12 Days of Christmas first-in-series ornament and
ShowToppers – unique mini tree toppers that fit perfectly on the
Mini ShowToppers Tree.
"Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments serve as a special tradition to
bring people together and celebrate favorite memories or
milestones, but they're also always evolving," said Gregor Benedetti, Hallmark Keepsake Artist.
"This year, we're excited to kick off a first-in-series 12 Days of
Christmas ornament beginning with an intricate Partridge in A
Pear Tree papercraft ornament. Next year, the series continues with
– you guessed it – two turtle doves."
In addition to first-in-series ornaments, Hallmark is adding to
the excitement of Keepsake Ornament Premiere with a new ShowToppers
collection. ShowToppers elevate an ordinary tabletop tree with
intricate designs synchronized to sound and light. From vintage
Christmas to fan-favorite characters and classic holiday movies,
