Hallmark’s annual trip to the final frontier doesn’t disappoint this year, as the company returns to themed Star Trek releases after spending three years in the Mirror Universe.
Starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation, Hallmark is revisiting the landmark crossover episode which brought Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) through time to visit the Enterprise-D. Taken from his shared time in the ship’s holodeck , this “Relics” ornament has Scotty offering Picard a glass of green Aldebaran Whiskey.
The “Relics” ornament — which also features audio from this scene in the Next Generation episode — will be available in October 2023 for $34.99.
Data and his pet cat Spot take the second Next Gen ornament spot this year; this TNG release will also include integrated audio: press a button and hear the android’s “Ode to Spot” poem, as recited aboard the Enterprise-D in “Schisms.”
The Data and Spot ornament will be available in July 2023 for $22.99.
A two-pack of Badgey ornaments from Star Trek: Lower Decks represents the animated series this fall, as these representations of the hologram’s good and evil personalities join the Hallmark Star Trek lineup.
The Badgey two-pack will be available this October at a price of $19.99.
The original Star Trek series gets plenty of representation in 2023, starting with this nod to “Who Mourns for Adonais?”
The “giant green space hand” (as it was called in Star Trek Beyond) of the Greek god Apollo — which captured the Enterprise in the beginning of that 1967 episode — comes to life this year with an ornament that allows holiday collectors to insert a standard Christmas tree light into its ‘wrist.’
Available in July, the “Who Mourns for Adonais?” ornament will cost $29.99.
Hallmark is also releasing two miniature-sized ornaments this year — a small USS Enterprise and a tiny Captain Kirk — which will fit perfectly on the branches of one of those small table-top Christmas trees.
Both are coming in October; the Captain Kirk ornament will cost $9.99 and the Enterprise ornament will be $10.99.
A new tabletop display decoration rounds out Hallmark’s Star Trek releases for 2023: a six-inch original Enterprise ‘orbiting’ a glowing planet from deep space.
In addition to the light show, the display also includes audio clips from five Original Series episodes (including “Balance of Terror”), plus the series theme song — you can also play ambient Enterprise bridge sound effects from the display base.
Warping in this October, the Enterprise tabletop display will retail at $129.99.
