Jake Angell’s first drawing earned him a spot on a parade float! Back in grade school, Jake’s blue-ribbon-worthy doodle about the importance of recycling scored the budding artist free tickets to a rodeo and a position of honor in the parade. He’s still wowing the crowd with his artistic talents, but now Jake’s creations earn him a special spot on the tree in countless homes around the world.

Pros: The best-produced Hallmark Enterprise to date—an absolutely stunning piece that needs to be seen to be believed. It’s a showstopper atop any Trek-themed Christmas tree, combining exceptional detail with impressive size and presence.
Cons: One of the charming aspects of Trek trees in years past was the variety of unique, often homemade toppers that showcased fans’ creativity. With Hallmark’s official tree topper now widely available, many trees are beginning to look similar—a small trade-off for having such a wonderful, high-quality ornament.

New Storyteller Packaging Confirmed

In July, we posted about Hallmark’s new Storyteller packaging seen in images found on the Hallmark website. At the time we didn’t know if it was something we would see on physical packages or just limited to online images. It can now be confirmed the larger artwork is on physical packaging and is slowly making its way into stock as older inventory is depleted.

Along with the new artwork are new item numbers for the 2020 and 2021 Storytellers.

2022 Storyteller Packaging

Hallmark’s third year of Star Trek Storytellers brings us our third version of packaging design. The 2021 Storytellers had an ornament image that was roughly 20% larger than its 2020 predecessors. The 2022 Lt. Commander Scott ornament has a large front image that takes up the majority of the packaging face conforming with the rest of the 2022 Hallmark lineup.

Although Hallmark stores (at least mine) are stocking Storytellers in their original packaging, Hallmark’s website has photos of the 2020-21 ornaments in updated 2022 packaging. No word if this is something that will actually be available in stores or if it is simply for marketing uniformity.
