I am so excited to be collaborating with Hallmark to bring you this year’s keepsake ornaments. I am have been collecting these since I was young and this year’s lineup is awesome. In July I wrote about the first 250 ornaments that were released. Now we are debuting more than 150 new ornament releases during the annual Keepsake Ornament Debut event from October 16-24, at Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide and online at Hallmark.com. The annual event is a chance for consumers to come together, get inspired, and begin celebrating the magic of Christmas through carefully artist-crafted Keepsake Ornaments from the all-new 2021 collection.
The entire 2021 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament line includes nearly 500 ornaments to help bring people closer together to celebrate the season, capture memories, and turn the Christmas tree into a beloved holiday experience the whole family will enjoy.
Some highlights of the new Keepsake Ornaments making a debut at the Ornament Debut include:
NFL Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce Ornament
Kansas City Chiefs fans will love getting their hands on this Christmas tree ornament featuring star tight end Travis Kelce hauling in the ball for another big play. This holiday decoration makes a statement as fashionable as the popular player whose likeness it captures.
Noble Nutcrackers Duke of Winter Ornament
Add winter wonder to the tree with this Duke of Winter Christmas ornament. This regal nutcracker wears a snowglobe crown and holds a snowflake scepter, perfectly complementing the ensemble that is trimmed with glittery snow detailing, icy formations, gems, and beads. A functioning lever on the back opens and closes the nutcracker’s mouth.

In 1973, when Hallmark introduced six glass ball ornaments and 12 yarn figures as the first collection of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments, a new tradition of Christmas decorating was started, and a new collectible industry was born.
When the first line was introduced, they were unique in design, year-dated and available only for a limited time — innovations in the world of ornaments. Since 1973, Hallmark has introduced more than 8,400 different Keepsakes Ornaments, and more than 100 ornament series, annual releases of ornaments that share a specific theme.
Today’s Keepsake Ornaments reflect the way styles, materials, formats and technology have expanded since they first appeared in Hallmark stores. Once a collection of decorated glass balls and yarn figures, Keepsake Ornaments are now made in a wide array of wood, glass, metal, porcelain, and handcrafted formats. Technology has also been incorporated into the world of Keepsake Ornaments through light, sound and motion. The one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the superior craftsmanship and high quality that ensures Keepsake Ornaments will become family heirlooms and cherished collectibles.
