Most Holiday Vision-Board Worthy: Snoring Santa

Why go into the holiday stressed when you can go in snoring with a plateful of cookies on your tummy? This animatronic ornament is designed so that Santa’s bowl full of jelly continuously rises and falls all day long. (You might even hear him talking in his sleep!)
If you start to feel the pressures of the holiday season creeping in, just take a gander at the Snoring Santa in your evergreen. He doesn’t care that there are gifts to wrap—he’s here to remind you to take a breather during the holiday season (a little snore, even). Snoring Santa is the moment. He is the vibe. He is the star on top of our vision board and most likely to honk-shoo his way into our hearts.
Most Likely to Delight Your Inner Child: Santa’s Seaside Carnival

Yes, you can be in your coastal grandmother fashion era AND want to be a kid again; this ornament is out to prove it. With a press of a button on this oceanside boardwalk carnival, all your adulting worries will slip away while you’re serenaded with a jaunty holiday carol and entertained by rides and a rotating, lit-up Ferris wheel.
What’s more? Santa and Mrs. Claus are waiting for you at the end of the dock, and there are probably cookies fresh out of the oven in the glowing lighthouse. Be honest: Is your inner child clapping their hands and jumping up and down right now?
Most Heart-Melting: Young Santa, 3rd in Series

What if this write-up is just us squeeee-ing about how cute young Santa and his puppy are? It’s fun to imagine what Santa would have been like as a kid, but adding an adorable and playful puppy into the mix? 🥹 It’s too much. Our hearts can’t take it.
This Keepsake Ornament is cuteness overload and it’s sure to be one talked about (and squeeee’d over) by families everywhere.
When you’re done squeeee-ing for the season, you’ll want a safe way to pack up Young Santa and his puppy so they can stay cute and charming forever. We’ve got some tips for that!
Best Ornament for the All-Season-or-Bust Holiday Music Fans: North Pole Tree Trimmers Band Collection

Picture this: it’s 12:01 a.m. on November 1 and it is time. Your playlists are prepped. Your jingle bells are at the ready. You don’t care if your holiday shopping is continuously set to the beat of some “fa-la-la-las”—you’re into the holiday season for the tunes.
Same vibe? This ornament collection featuring some merry music-makers from the North Pole, who are just ending their toymaking shift to jam together. Connect them all together with a Keepsake Power Cord to hear all of their different interactive performances, watch the light show and rock out. Just be prepared to get their jolly jingles stuck in your head from now until forever.
Check out the video to audition this elvish band for your own tree here!
Most Likely to Inspire a Tropical Trip: Mini Little Cup of Joy Musical Ornament

Pack your bags and ship those presents because this ornament calls for nothing less than Christmas spent on the shores of a sandy beach.
When you press a button, this cute pineapple drink serves up an island version of “Joy to the World.” And you know what it would sound great with? The charming glug, glug, glug of the poolside bartender refilling your own tiki mug.
Most Likely to Make You a Series Collector: Twelve Days of Christmas, 1st in Series

If you’ve been resisting the pull of starting a series collection, it’s time to give in. This papercraft “Partridge in a Pear Tree” is a stunning take on a holiday classic, and you know that once you buy it, you’re going to want to be first in line for all 11 left in this series.
It’s just too beautiful to resist, we know. Welcome to the club. See you at Ornament Premiere in 2025 for some turtledoves because this is your life now. 😂
Most Likely to Leave a Big Impression in the Teensiest Way: ShowToppers Mini Tree with Vintage Santa ShowTopper

There’s a lot more to this cute baby tree than meets the eye. Once you buy it, you’re going to want to clear everything off your table with one huge arm-sweep, plant this bad boy in the middle and decorate it with alllll the Vintage Santa ShowTopper accessories.
Like magic, the light colors coordinate with the the tree topper, skirt and nostalgic mini ornaments. Press a button, and you get a musical light show. Bam. You’re decorated for the holidays.
And when you decide you’re ready to switch it up, there are other ShowTopper sets ready to mix up your mini tree. Because why pick one decor scheme when you can have them all?
Need some ideas on how to decorate the rest of your house for the holidays? Here are a few professional styling tips so you can really max out your decor.
Most Likely to Make Your Tummy Rumble: Sweet Decade, 5th in Series

A little tip: If you’re feeling a little hungry and this ornament is hanging on your tree, do not make eye contact with its squishy-looking snowman. 👀
Doesn’t it just look like it’s made of marshmallows? And don’t the sparkly, brightly colored “2024” gumdrops look like sugary-sweetness you just want to pop into your mouth? Mmm…
Still, don’t eat it. It’s plastic. Maybe just go get a refill on cookies instead.
Most Likely to Start a Bidding War 20 Years From Now: Wreath of Memories 2024

If you’re a Keepsake Ornament collector, you know this one is special—some of Hallmark’s most famous Keepsake Ornaments are recreated as icons, embossed in 14 karat gold on the wreath.
If you’re not a Keepsake Ornament collector, let us translate: This baby is FULL of nostalgia and is going to be one hot collectible—not only now, but way in the future. Resell sites will crash. Antique malls will be stormed.
OK, maybe that’s a little far. But still…
You don’t have to be a hardcore Keepsakes fan to see the love that went into this ornament! Check out a behind-the-scenes video on how it was made here.
The ornaments listed here are just a few we’re excited about (for many, many reasons). But, honestly, every carefully crafted Keepsake Ornament is created to be special in its own way, in part because of the memories made by hanging each one on your own tree. Yay! Everyone gets a trophy!
To make your own list of must-haves for the season, pick up a Dream Book at your local Hallmark Gold Crown store or Hallmark.com.
(And seriously…don’t eat the ornaments.)
