2026 Hallmark Ornament Premiere Initial Impressions

Leave a reply

The Galileo is back! And this time the shuttlecraft has proper proportions. It will be jarring to see the flattened 1992 Galileo next to it. This one seems beefy. Hearing Spock’s voice again with his iconic greeting is spectacular.

The Enterprise G has a much shinier finish compared to the metal 2018 Enterprise and the bold black lettering looks fantastic across the silver hull. This one may rank higher than last year’s Enterprise G.

The Cerritos’ coloring is bright and distinct and does not disappoint. This will be a standout when hanging with the rest of the fleet. I would love to see repaints in the future with the red and blue accent versions we saw in the series.

My only complaint is that Hallmark’s ornament wall layout has the Star Trek ships displayed over 6 1/2’ in the air. Most people will be looking up and only seeing the bottom of the ships.

Fortunately, the Enterprise G is also displayed on a Pop Culture display at table-level near the front of the store.

In stores July 11, 2026.

Audio 1 from (TOS) “The Galileo Seven” (Season 1, Episode 16)

SCOTT: Mister Spock! 

MEARS: What happened? 

SCOTT: He jettisoned the fuel and ignited it. 

BOMA: We need that fuel to maintain orbit. Are you out of your mind? 

SPOCK: Perhaps, Mister Boma. 

SCOTT: A distress signal? It’s like sending up a flare. Mister Spock, that was a good gamble. Perhaps it was worth it.

MCCOY: It may be the last action you’ll ever take, Mister Spock, but it was all human. 

SPOCK: Totally illogical. There was no chance. 

MCCOY: That’s exactly what I mean.  

Audio 2 from 1992 Galileo Hallmark Ornament

SPOCK: Shuttlecraft to Enterprise. Shuttlecraft to Enterprise. Spock here. Happy holidays. Live long and prosper.

Available online October 8-11, 2026.

Audio from (TOS) “The Doomsday Machine” (Season 2, Episode 6)

DECKER: Shuttlecraft to Enterprise. Decker here.

SPOCK: Commodore, I must insist that you return to the ship.

DECKER: You said it yourself, Spock. There is no way to blast through the hull of that machine, so I’m going to take this thing right down its throat.

KIRK: This is Kirk. Matt, you’ll be killed.

DECKER: I’ve been prepared for death ever since I, ever since I killed my crew.

SPOCK: You cannot succeed, Commodore. Your only logical alternative is to return to the ship.

KIRK: Matt, you’re a starship commander. That makes you a valuable commodity. We need you, your experience, your judgment. Matt!

Who’s excited!?

The Einstein (NCC-1701⁄6) was a Federation Class F shuttlecraft that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-23rd century, attached to the USS Enterprise. (TOS: “The Doomsday Machine”)

In 2267, this shuttle was piloted by Commodore Matt Decker on a suicidal mission to the planet killer. 

In the original version of the episode, the flight of the shuttle was recycled footage of the Galileo from “The Galileo Seven”. For the remastered version, CBS Digital crafted a CGI model with new registry and name. Though the registry was visible in the episode, the name was illegible. On StarTrek.com, Mike Okuda, when asked for the name of the shuttle, replied that it was the Einstein. –Memory Alpha

“🎄Our Christmas Tree🎄
My MIL bought my husband the 1st Star Trek Hallmark ornament in 1992. After she became ill, I continued the tradition. When the Star Wars ornaments debut, of course I had to start that collection too. For our boys we have Marvel & DC and a few other collections. To date we have every single Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel & DC ornament made by Hallmark.
It’s a lot of work putting this tree up however; the end result makes it all worth it!!”-Jennifer Joffe Koznowski on Facebook
