The Galileo is back! This time, the shuttlecraft features screen-accurate proportions, making the flattened 1992 version look noticeably dated by comparison. The new sculpt has a much beefier, more substantial appearance that better captures the look of the original filming miniature. Best of all, hearing Spock’s voice once again deliver his iconic Christmas greeting is nothing short of spectacular.

The Enterprise-G features a much shinier finish than the metal Enterprise released in 2018, and the bold black registry markings stand out beautifully against the silver hull. The overall presentation is striking and gives the ornament a more refined appearance. It may even rank higher than last year’s Enterprise-G among collectors.

The Cerritos’ bright, distinctive color scheme does not disappoint. Its vibrant appearance helps it stand out among the rest of the fleet, making it an eye-catching addition to any Star Trek ornament display. Hopefully, Hallmark will revisit the design in future years with repaints featuring the red and blue accent variations seen throughout the series.

Hallmark dictates in-store ornament placement through standardized planograms provided to Gold Crown stores. These visual merchandising guides group ornaments by category, designate special displays for Magic ornaments, and specify product placement intended to maximize visibility and encourage browsing.

Regrettably, the 2026 Star Trek ships were assigned to the top row of the Sci-Fi & Heroes display more than 6½ feet above the floor. At that height, most shoppers could only easily see the undersides of the ships, making it difficult to appreciate their sculpted details from a normal viewing angle.

Fortunately, the U.S.S. Enterprise-G also appeared on the table-height Pop Culture display, giving at least one of the year’s Star Trek ornaments far greater visibility.
