As part of the First Contact Day (April 5) festivities it was announced that in 2022 there will be a Star Trek: Mission Chicago event. This convention is the only officially licensed Star Trek event in the U.S. by CBS now that Star Trek Las Vegas has been replaced with The 55-Year Mission Tour in Las Vegas. ReedPop, who is putting on Mission Chicago, was behind events like New York Comic Con, MCM Comic Con London, Star Wars Celebration and Star Trek: Mission New York. It is expected that annual Missions in rotating cities will follow.
Newsfeed: We invite you to Star Trek: Mission Chicago– the ultimate Star Trek fan experience for all ages! Boldly explore the past, present and future of the celebrated franchise while embracing the ideals of a diverse and inclusive future that remains at the center of one of the most iconic brands of all time. Enjoy three full days of interactive exhibits, major announcements, exclusive merchandise, celebrity guests, and more from the ever-evolving Star Trek universe.
Star Trek: Mission Chicago is coming to McCormick Place in Chicago IL, April 8th to April 10th 2022.
In light of this announcement it seems only fitting to revisit 2016’s Star Trek: Mission New York which took place during Star Trek’s 50th Anniversary. To celebrate the anniversary, Hallmark displayed all 81 Star Trek ornaments that had been released up to that time (actually 80, “To Boldly Go” was still just a cardboard image).
Unfortunately, most of the photos of the Star Trek display were taken from a distance.
The gallery, in the form of a transporter chamber, stood beside Hallmark’s event booth. It was comprised of seven tall, vertical windows each holding a dozen or so ornaments.
Happily, one Star Trek fan posted a YouTube video of the ornaments which you can view at the bottom of this page. Below are the best screen caps I could get from IoMGeek’s September 3, 2016 video. Let me know if anyone has any photos of Hallmark’s ornament gallery they would like to share.

In 1992, Hallmark put on a Galileo Landing Party event at stores across the country. The Galileo was the follow up ornament to the bestselling Enterprise the year before. Hallmark decided to educate their sales associates with five key STAR TREK terms in preparation of the party. Take a look below at what they considered crucial information.
If you have access to a STAR TREK costume, wear it during your Landing Party event. It will add to the festivities!
During your Party, it might be helpful if you are familiar with STAR TREK lingo. Here are some terms to know:
Shuttlecraft Galileo – Small spaceship that transfers up to 8 passengers and 2 operators to the starship U.S.S. Enterprise. U.S.S. Enterprise – The starship that transports the STAR TREK crew on its missions. STAR TREK Mission – “To seek out new worlds and new civilizations…to boldly go where no man has gone before.” Klingons – Once-enemies, now allies of the Federation. Federation – League of planets throughout all galaxies that are allied for peace.
You Are The Key To The Success Of This Event. Live Long And Prosper!

This clipping is from The Country Journal in May of 1994. It is an article that covers Patrick Stewart and the last days of Star Trek: The Next Generation but what catches the eye is the Hallmark ad in the lower right.
Unfortunately, the image is too blurry to make out the details but it is a Rowe-Manse Emporium and Country Store advertisement offering a buy back program of the 1991 Hallmark Enterprise ornament. As the ad shows, Rowe-Manse was offering $150 for Hallmark’s first Star Trek ornament. $150 in 1994 is equivalent to $268.50 in 2021. The ‘91 Enterprise is currently available on eBay for $75 and up. Originally sold for $20, the Enterprise was a huge success and supply did not keep up with the high demand.
Roxanne Roberts of the Washington Post wrote on the ornament’s rarity in 1991, “Demand for the Starship is the greatest that Hallmark has ever had for any ornament, says spokeswoman Betsy Helgager. The company will not release production figures but the Enterprise, which premiered this summer at about 11,000 retailers, was quickly reissued this fall when Hallmark realized it had a phenomenon on its branches. Each store got about 50. Since the ornament went on display in August, stores have been inundated with requests. Most started waiting lists; after a while, they stopped taking names. On Oct. 1, when retailers were allowed to reorder the spaceship, Hallmark received more than $1 million in orders, said one representative. Most shipments were sold out the day they arrived. People are still calling, even offering extra money.“
In 1993, Kevin Stevens wrote for Strange New Worlds, “Prices for the Starship Enterprise ornament climbed to $175, eventually topping out at about $250. One dealer at a Los Angeles area Star Trek convention had priced the ornament at $400. Prices for this piece have since stabilized at about $200.”
The Rowe-Manse Emporium was a New Jersey business that sold collectibles, toys, jewelry, food and candy and was known for its wooden escalator. Unfortunately, this specialty department store went out of business in the early 2000s.
If you have picked up any Star Trek event exclusive ornaments since 2018 you may have noticed the new black box design. It is an all black design that stands out against the white boxes Hallmark has used since 2006. With this change, on the sides of the box, is a gloss black doodle-inspired artwork on a flat black background that can go unnoticed unless the light catches it just right.
This artwork was created by Marceli Colato who also made drawings for Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, DC Comics and Harry Potter. “I was able to create cohesive branding that would be used in a variety of spaces, including visual merchandising, print/digital marketing, packaging designs, and unique gift product” says Colato.
Below is the complete piece of artwork Colato created for the Star Trek PopMinded by Hallmark line. Can you “spot” all the references?
There have been debates for years between fans of Star Wars and Star Trek. Which series is the best? Millennium Falcon or U.S.S. Enterprise? Skywalker or Kirk? But how does Star Wars Hallmark ornaments stack up against Star Trek in sheer quantity? Here is a completely impartial summary…
NumberofHallmark Keepsakes by Year:Star Wars* vs Star Trek
Hallmark is clearly committed when it comes to Star Wars and as nice as it would be to have more Star Trek ornaments each year, the volume of Star Wars ornaments coming out since 2017 has to be taking a toll on the “completist” collector.
*Star Wars stats intentionally shown in evil, no-good, dark side red.
The Spock and Chekov ornaments have now been revealed as the latest two entries into the Mirror Mirror Storytellers series and with that Kevin Dilmore has promised some future Star Trek surprises later this year. Dilmore, if you are unaware, is the nexus where Hallmark and Star Trek collide. He is a Senior Writer at Hallmark Cards and author/coauthor of Sci-fi novels that include Star Trek adventures.
2022 will bring us the final two Star Trek Storytellers, McCoy and Scotty. So what will we see later this year? A third Tribble? Lower Decks stuff? The Enterprise B ornament is a huge long shot but now that we have the Enterprise tree topper I can’t think of a more discussed ornament.
With nine official Star Trek series there is a wealth of iconic scenes and characters to choose from. Hallmark certainly hasn’t evenly distributed ornament representation across the Star Trek universe, they have placed a heavy emphasis on the Kirk led original series of the sixties. Current Star Trek series will likely always get some representation but Hallmark will continue to go back to their honey hole…Kirk, Spock and the original Enterprise.
