Hallmark returns to the Star Trek universe in 2024 with a range of new ornaments celebrating movie anniversaries, the beginning of the final frontier, and more!
While most 2024 offerings arrive in October, the first ornament of the year hits stores this July, when Hallmark celebrates the 60th anniversary of “The Cage” with The Keeper. This is the Talosian leader who kept Captain Pike hostage in the original Star Trek pilot episode; it’s priced at $19.99.
Moving into the fall’s character spotlights, Hallmark is starting with the beloved chief medical officer of the Enterprise-D: Beverly Crusher! With so many licensees often leaving Crusher out of the roster of character-themed releases, it’s nice to see Hallmark including the good doctor in their 2024 lineup.
Clad in her trademark blue coat and with trusty medical tricorder in hand, the Crusher ornament will available in October for $19.99.
Also from The Next Generation is the first electronic ornament for 2024, recreating the encounter between Ambassador Spock and Data in “Unification II.” This ornament will be priced at $29.99 when released in October, and plays audio clips from the Next Gen episode.
For this year’s “modern Trek” release, Hallmark turns to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds with an ornament featuring Captain Pike seated in his Enterprise command chair. The base of his chair plays Strange New Worlds audio clips, and will be available for $21.99 this October.
Moving next to Trek movie anniversaries, Hallmark celebrates the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Generations with the first-ever USS Enterprise-B ornament! Hallmark’s Kevin Dilmore once highlighted the technical challenges that held back the Excelsior-class design for many years back in 2021, so it’s nice to see this long-awaited ship will make it to fans’ collections.
The Enterprise-B ornament lights up and will be available for $34.99 in October.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture also hits a big anniversary this year, and Hallmark will be honoring that milestone with a pair of miniature ornaments tied to the film. A small edition of the refit USS Enterprise will be released at a $10.99 price point, and a small sculpt of Science Officer Spock wearing his TMP-era uniform will be $9.99. Each will be out in October.
Finally, the fan-favorite Star Trek homage Galaxy Quest hits its 25th anniversary this year, and Hallmark will be taking us back to 1999 with a new ornament of that film’s NSEA Protector spaceship.
Like the other 2024 releases, the Protector ornament will be out this October for $24.99.
