Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Debut – Trek Ornaments Have Arrived!

First impressions:

  • Holographic Janeway is a good sculpt being of an animated character but doesn’t quite reach the heights of the fantastic Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Bradward Boimler ornaments that were released in July.
  • The U.S.S. Titan is a great sculpt as some have already seen from its counterpart, the event exclusive U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-G. Long-time collectors may have issue with the lack of lights but the ship is still an impressive addition without them.
  • Guinan has it all, a great pose, beautiful coloring and a fantastic likeness. Possibly the best Star Trek: The Next Generation character ornament yet.
  • The Beware the Borg! Table Decoration is the most impressive of the 2025 Trek offerings. The colored lights are gorgeous, the sound clear and it’s sheer size makes it a stand out.
  • Pound for pound, the Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator Arcade Game steals the show! Whether you loved the arcade game in the 80s or didn’t know of its existence, this is a fun ornament! If you’re on the fence with this one, be sure to hit the button to see and hear it in action.
  • The Seven of Nine mini has the same detail issues that all of the miniature ornaments have. It’s a shame we didn’t get this version of Seven in a standard size.
  • Unfortunately, the U.S.S. Voyager mini is very washed out and easily the least impressive. It took getting right up on it to even see the coloring on the nacelles. The miniature line would benefit by being scaled up a bit to the size of the Enterprise D that is included with this year’s Borg Cube.

Overall, an outstanding Star Trek ornament lineup. Hallmark has stepped up their game in recent years with the choices and the implementations. In fact, looking at the entire wall of ornaments available this year, the leap in quality, detail and variety compared to ten years ago is quite noticeable.

So…is it too early for a sneak peek at 2026?

2026 Star Trek Anniversaries

Complete list of 2026 Trek anniversaries…

Will we see Hallmark celebrate any of the big Star Trek anniversaries in 2026?

Artist Inspirations: Guinan (2025)

Guinan in her famous defensive or offensive pose as she confronts Q from the episode “Q Who” (Season 2, Episode 16). It remains unclear if Guinan actually has any powers on the level of Q or simply mimicking his stance.
It appears the Hallmark artist decided to drop Guinan’s left hand below her right to expose more of her face for the ornament’s final design.

CATSPAW ENTERPRISE MINIATURE PROP REPLICA: It’s Not ‘Not an Ornament’, Is It?

Transport yourself back to one of Star Trek: The Original Series’ most memorable episodes—“Catspaw” (1967) — with this highly detailed replica of the miniature U.S.S. Enterprise used in the episode’s spooky practical effects.

The Original Prop

Two different miniature Enterprise props were crafted for “Catspaw.” Both were machined from aluminum, – Prop A – was encased in clear acrylic (previously replicated by Factory Entertainment in a now SOLD-OUT edition) – Prop B – was not. This is a replica of Prop B, famously featured in the scene where the alien witch Sylvia uses it to torment the crew by holding it over a candle flame. As the miniature prop heats up, the temperature aboard the Enterprise skyrockets.

Factory Entertainment has gone to extraordinary lengths to faithfully reproduce this iconic miniature:

•    Expert Craftsmanship – Created with the assistance of a leading Catspaw prop historian and machinist, ensuring maximum screen accuracy.
•    Enhanced Materials – Each replica is machined from solid stainless steel for increased strength, durability, and lasting display quality.
•    Collector Display Stand – Includes a custom display base, perfect for showcasing this eerie moment from Trek history.

Whether you’re a Star Trek collector, a fan of vintage sci-fi effects, or simply appreciate high-quality prop replicas, this piece is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to a unique moment in Trek lore.

For your safety (and the general wellbeing of any bewitched Starfleet crew) please do not dangle this replica over any open flames.
