Last year’s predictions discussed the possibility of a Star Trek: The Animated Series ornament and a Discovery ornament and in 2018 we got both.  2018 also gave us “The Naked Time” ornament which we gave 3:1 odds back in our 2017 predictions. So what are next year’s favorites?

Possible Future Character Ornaments

Michael Burnham as the lead of the two year old series Discovery is very likely as a character ornament. Odds: 2:1

Captain Philippa Georgiou. Odds: 19:1

Captain Gabriel Lorca. Odds: 42:1 

Possible Future Ship Ornaments

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B has been mysteriously absent from the Hallmark lineup. A strong contender for a Event Exclusive ornament. Odds: 6:1

At some point we should expect Discovery’s design of the original U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from the first season finale. Odds: 7:1  

Star Trek: Discovery’s other ship, U.S.S. Shenzhou may be another angle at promoting Star Trek’s latest series. Odds: 12:1

Is the V’Ger likely to show up next season? Probably not but with The Final Frontier’s 30th Anniversary it is a long shot. Odds: 82:1

Possible Future Scene Ornaments

Two words: “Spock’s Brain”. Odds: 3:1

There is no gray area on the reception a “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” ornament would be. Odds: 5:1

The time has never been more right than to release a “Plato’s Stepchildren” ornament celebrating Kirk and Uhura’s groundbreaking kiss. Odds: 8:1

A “Space Seed” ornament could revisit the popular Khan character that was first ornamentalized in 2005. Odds: 8:1

Nothing would be better than a Kirk ornament shouting “Khaaaaan!”. The Star Trek II scene has become a staple in the public lexicon. Odds: 14:1

With the Star Trek: Generations 25th Anniversary coming in 2019 we may get a scene depicting Picard beside a dying Kirk. Not very Christmasy? Look no further than 2015’s “The Needs of the Many” ornament. Odds: 23:1

“The Corbomite Maneuver” would be favorite among fans but lost on the general public. Odds: 250:1

Possible Future Prop Ornaments

A three dimensional chess ornament? Check and mate! Odds: 7:1

Just sci-fi looking enough to possibly sneak in as a Christmas weapon ornament, the Phaser Rifle has a decent shot. Odds: 18:1

The Laser Pistol is more modern day sidearm than futuristic weapon. Odds: 30:1

Hallmark has given us the phaser, the communicator, the tricorder and even the transporter chamber, so what is left? Maybe a scene from the Next Generation Holodeck. Odds: 37:1
