If you visited your local Hallmark for the Ornament Premiere you may have noticed a lack of Datas and Spots on the shelves.

After exploring three stores worried that there had been a run on a synthetic intelligence android-lifeforms and their feline pets it seems the 2023 Data’s Ode to Spot ornament has been delayed to late July.

Supply-chain issues remain a thing, friends. I have been crossing my fingers for these to make it to stores in time for this very exciting weekend but it just wasn’t to be. I hope that those of you who already have made it to Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere at least have had a chance to see and hear this ornament for yourself in person. Thanks for your patience!
