At Hallmark, we recognize the role we play in your relationships and your lives. The health and well-being of our employees and our customers are our top priority. As the situation around coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve, I want to take a moment and share an update.

Hallmark set up a task force several weeks ago that continues to monitor the situation. We are tracking the information provided by public health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO). Utilizing their guidance, we are taking precautions to protect our employees and our customers. We are temporarily closing our Crayola Experience locations nationwide. Some of our independent retailers who own and operate Hallmark stores in our retail network have also temporarily closed their locations. This is a rapidly-changing situation that is impacting countries, states and cities differently. Our teams are making decisions based on the most recent information provided by the CDC, WHO, and local public health agencies and government officials, while keeping the health and safety of our employees and customers in mind.

We understand many of you may be feeling isolated as public health officials encourage us to distance ourselves from others and community events are canceled. I encourage you to continue to find ways to connect with your loved ones during this time. Make a phone call, video chat with a friend, send a handwritten note in the mail, spend time with your child doing art projects, enjoy a movie night in with your family. Emotional wellness is just as important as physical well-being. As you take precautions to keep your family physically healthy, don’t forget to take a moment for yourself.

Hallmark is committed to helping you live a caring and connected life filled with meaningful moments, and we are here for you during the good times and tough times. If you need to reach us, please call 1-800-HALLMARK or visit care.hallmark.com, and our team members will help you.

Hallmark Star Trek Ornament Predictions for 2021

4 Replies

Update: See what made the 6th Annual Predictions.

Well, we meet again. This time to predict the 2021 Hallmark Star Trek ornament that will be announced in July. The Storyteller announcement for 2020 really through last year’s predictions for a loop. Fortunately, it should make the 2021 predictions much easier. First prediction…look for a Star Trek tree skirt coming in 2020. In 2019 Hallmark debuted tree skirts for Star Wars and Peanuts and I fully expect them to follow those up for the Trek universe.

If you would like to see our past predictions click below.

2021 Predictions

Winner: Tribble, Odds 7:1 (2020)

2020 Predictions

Winner: None

2019 Predictions

Winner: Saru & Burham, Odds: 2:1 (2019)

2018 Predictions

Winner: U.S.S. Discovery, (2018)
Winner: Arex & M’Ress, (2018)

2017 Predictions

Winner: “The Naked Time” Odds: 3:1 (2018)

 2021 Character Contenders


Mirror Mirror Spock is a slam dunk for 2021. I expect to see at least two Mirror Mirror ornaments next year and Spock is the front runner after Kirk’s release last year. Odds: 1:9


Mirror Mirror Scotty is a bigger draw than Chekhov so it is likely that pairing him up with Spock in the second year of Storytellers to keep the line rolling would make good business sense. Odds: 1:1


Mirror Mirror Chekov is my guess for 2022.  Chekov was the last to be released in the Legends series so it stands to reason he’ll get released at the end of the Storytellers run in 2022. Odds: 2:1.

Mirror Mirror McCoy will always be the third banana so it makes sense his ornament will come out in 2022, the third of a three year Storyteller release. Odds: 5:1

Lower Decks premiered in 2020 with Ensign Mariner, Ensign Tendi, Ensign Boimler and Ensign Rutherford. They will be cheap kid-friendly sculpts. Expect an announcement in 2021 for a 2022 release. Odds: 19:1

img_0320

Spock returned to the Star Trek universe in Discovery and Hallmark could produce a scene with Michael Burnham. Odds: 28:1

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY

Captain Philippa Georgiou is due to get her own Star Trek spinoff but 2021 is way too soon for her. Odds: 55:1

img_0318

Captain Christopher Pike debuted in second season of Discovery with generally positive reactions. He is already a staple in the Star Trek universe and is a prime candidate. Odds: 14:1

Michael Burnham as the lead of the two year old series Discovery is portrayed in a 2019 scene ornament so the likelihood she’ll get a second in two years is not too likely unless it is with the new Spock. Odds: 23:1

2021 Ship Contenders

The Phoenix achieved light speed using warp drive when First Contact was released 25 years ago. Let’s celebrate! Odds: 22:1

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2021. Could we get the Cetacean Probe that was in a quest for whale songs?  Odds: 85:1

The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B has been mysteriously absent from the Hallmark lineup for years. I still believe it is a strong contender for a Event Exclusive ornament. It has a narrow fan base but will be sought after by the biggest of fans. Odds: 5:1

IMG_3394

At some point we should expect Discovery’s design of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 to fill the Enterprise ornament slot. Odds: 7:1

IMG_3393

Star Trek: Discovery’s other ship, U.S.S. Shenzhou may be another angle at promoting Star Trek’s latest series. Odds: 90:1

IMG_3396

Is the V’Ger likely to show up next season? Odds: 174:1


2021 Scene Contenders


Picard, from the show of the same name, debuts this month (January 2020) and has also been picked up for a second season in 2021. A scene with Picard and Data or Riker or Troi or Hugh is a lock. Odds: 3:1

How cool would it be to see Zefram Cochrane meeting a Vulcan for Star Trek: First Contact’s 25th anniversary. Odds: 15:1 


The Talosians from the highly praised second season episode of Discovery, If Memory Serves, is very likely to get a scene ornament. This would also be a great opportunity to include new Spock. Odds: 16:1

Nothing would be better than a Kirk ornament shouting “Khaaaaan!”. The Star Trek II scene has become a staple in the public lexicon. More likely for 2022 when Star Trek II celebrates its 40th. Odds: 35:1

img_0328

Another year. Another Spock ornament. “Spock’s Brain” should please the fans. Odds: 20:1

image

America needs a “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” ornamen. Odds: 14:1

img_0326

“The Enemy Within” is screaming for an evil-Kirk ornament. Odds: 26:1

image

Hallmark was under fire this year when they banned a same sex kiss ad on their channel. They quickly reversed the decision but look for them to compensate with the famous interracial kiss from “Plato’s Stepchildren”. Odds: 8:1

image

A “Space Seed” ornament could revisit the popular Khan character that was first ornamentalized in 2005. Odds: 10:1

img_0327


“Plato’s Stepchildren” gave us many iconic scenes (Spock laughing) but everyone would love to ring in the holidays with Kirk and Spock dancing a little jig. Odds: 14:1

IMG_3398


The Kirk Death from the movie Star Trek: Generations is not very Christmasy but look no further than 2015’s “The Needs of the Many” ornament. Odds: 28:1

IMG_3397


“The Corbomite Maneuver” would be favorite among diehard fans but lost on the general public. Odds: 250:1

2021 Prop Contenders

This may be a bit of a surprise but don’t count out another Tribble to follow 2019’s Tribble  release.  It seemed to sell out online faster than the other 2019 releases and I expect it is very cheap to manufacturer.  Considering there are other color Tribbles and the fact that it makes for a good generic Star Trek stocking stuffer I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the hairy critters. Odds: 7:1

IMG_5465

A three dimensional chess ornament? Check and mate! Odds: 7:1

IMG_3433

Just sci-fi looking enough to possibly sneak in as a Christmas weapon ornament, the Phaser Rifle has a decent shot. Odds: 30:1

IMG_3432

The Laser Pistol is more modern day sidearm than futuristic weapon. Odds: 40:1

IMG_3395


Hallmark has given us the phaser, the communicator, the tricorder and even the transporter chamber, so what is left? Maybe a scene from the Next Generation Holodeck. Odds: 32:1
