Additional information: Voyager was shrunk down to an ornament in episode of Star Trek: Voyager the same year this was released. Coincidence?
Pros: Impressive detail.
Cons: Boy, how I wish we could have the Voyager theme play with it. Unfortunately, no sound.








Unlike previous Hallmark Star Trek commercials, the 1996 Voyager ad features clips from the series piecemealed together to make a cohesive narrative. Notice the odd tagline at the end…”You’ll feel better inside”.
Watch the previous 1992-1995 Hallmark Star Trek ornament commercials.

“Death Wish” is the 18th episode of the second season of the Star Trek: Voyager. The episode originally aired on February 19, 1996 and fans were treated to Q turning the starship Voyager into a Christmas ornament.
Unfortunately, we never got to see the ship from the outside hanging on the Christmas tree but we did get to see from the perspective of the crew out Voyager’s main viewscreen.

We see nearby “planetary” ornaments and even Q himself as he holds a dangling Voyager and peers inside.

At the time of its February airing, Hallmark had not yet released a Voyager ornament. Fans would only have to wait until Christmas of that same year to see what Q saw.
