2024 Hallmark Dream Book! Enterprise B! Crusher! Pike! The Keeper! And MORE!

First images from the 2024 Hallmark Dream Book is here! Thank you to John L. who sent me the images below showcasing a whopping seven Star Trek ornaments, two of which are mini ornaments.

Finally! We have the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B to grace our trees. The Enterprise B has been on the annual “want list” for more than a decade now! Thank you, Hallmark!

Spock and Data share an ornament for Unification II. The Keeper debuts, giving us our first Talosian under the Hallmark brand. Christopher Pike is just the latest in a long line of famous Trek captains to be honored as a Keepsake.

What a huge surprise to have Dr. Beverly Crusher appear in ornament form for 2024. Hopefully, we see more of the secondary TNG crew in the future. Geordi LaForge perhaps?

Hallmark is also releasing two Star Trek mini ornaments in ‘24. The Enterprise Refit, which is the baby brother of the 5.7” long 2019 Enterprise refit ornament. Lastly, Hallmark will be releasing a mini Spock in Star Trek: The Motion Picture garb. This ornament may be most surprising since all of the previous mini ornaments were copies of earlier Hallmark ornaments and this sculpt has never been seen before.

I can’t imagine there isn’t something for everyone in this year’s releases. I’m sure there will be some calls for the Protostar and Cerritos ornaments but the arrival of the Enterprise B was a long time coming.

Unfortunately, the Star Trek ornaments are not due to arrive in stores until October except for The Keeper, which will be available in July.

The 2024 Star Trek lineup is the most exciting in years! Bring on July! Bring on October!

Will There Be a Beverly Crusher Ornament in ‘24?

With the recent behind the scenes footage from the making of the 2024 Hallmark Dream Book we were able to get a quick glance of the Christopher Pike ornament that was announced late last year. Included in the image is a second ornament that looks similar to Beverly Crusher, our Next Generation doctor.

There is no doubt it bares a resemblance, from the red shoulder length hair and blue knee-length open medical coat to the black pants with matching collar. Couple that with the fact it is being photographed along side the Pike ornament on what would presumably be the Star Trek page of the Dream Book and the odds are likelier.

A Crusher ornament was my first thought after seeing the image but I quickly dismissed it. It seemed unlikely Hallmark would revisit the secondary characters of Next Generation. When I saw a reader’s comment on here also asking if it was Crusher, I looked again and couldn’t help but think there may be something to this revisit of the Next Generation crew. The cast was back in the spotlight with last year’s Picard Season 3 reunion and it may be the perfect time to honor the TNG crew more thoroughly. Perhaps this is part of a Next Generation Legends series that TOS was honored with from 2010-2016. Fingers crossed.

The file for the images is clearly marked Star Trek. Well, somewhat clearly.

CONFIRMED!

It seems it was answered before the question was even asked due to an overlooked comment from Kevin Dilmore.

Dream Books 1991-2023

Here are all of the Dream Book pages that Star Trek ornaments have graced. Print advertisements for the years 1992-1994 are shown when those ornaments were not featured in the Dream Book.
