Christmas Is Coming - New Hallmark Ornaments Include Elephant Mario And Decayed Master Sword (2025)

????? It is APRIL isn't it? Still, might grab a mario elephant?

I own a decent number of their Nintendo ornaments. The Raccoon Mario and Caped Mario are very cool, and my sister keeps hers up in a room year round. I’m still waiting on an Inkling girl, boy or squid to rep Splatoon!

Definitely too early for Christmas (ornaments) - Easter hasn't passed yet - but anyway, pretty cool, happy for those going for these... when the time for them actually comes, that is!

Ooooohhh I wonder if that light up Xbox 360 has the red ring of death....

EACH!?!

... Good grief.

Amazon : "Job lot nintendo cake toppers"
Buy those, attach ribbon, dangle on tree.
If you can't figure out how to attach ribbon, try adding..
Amazon : "Empty christmas baubles"

You're welcome.

it is april. april is not christmas.

For those that are wondering about the time of year, Hallmark Keepsake ornaments are a whole thing. They drop in the springtime and most of the really cool ones are sold out by Christmas, so collectors are standing by, ready to pounce.

Mainstream Christmas in December, Orthodox Christmas in January, "Christmas in July"...

Hallmark would love it if they could spruik Christmas merch all year round.

And I got to say it...

We got Christmas in April before GTA VI.

254 sleeps until Christmas!!!!

Haven’t had a tree in years because I don’t have room but I keep buying ornaments from hallmark. Sigh. That Voyager merch is gonna fleece my wallet.

What’s the fuss? It’s Christmas guys! Oh right, sorry. I still have my christmas tree in my apartment😇

I know this is a Nintendo page but I’m hella excited for the Xbox 360 and Halo 3 ornaments especially. I always collect these each year and I think this year, they’re gonna bankrupt me…..😭

July is coming up, yep

But are they made in China?

I love their ornaments. There are multiple kinds: The expensive $20-&-uo, as well as the usually-smaller, no-moving-parts "Redbox" line of ornaments. The latter is usually available year-round in certain retailers, such as Wal-Mart, and available at GameStop during the Christmas retail season. There are also the "storyteller" ornaments, and premiums line, except I haven't seen any game-related in those lines.

The "Keepsake" NES came out in 2019, or 2020. I don't remember. I believe it was 2020, the 35th anniversary of the NES, and SUPER MARIO BROS. Similarly, the SNES came out in 2021, I believe, the 30th anniversary of the SNES. Hallmark features some ornaments for just that year, while I've noticed in recent years, they've started being more relaxed about that, with some ornaments reappearing for two years, then disappearing. I think that's a holdover from COVID-19, and the economy. Two years ago, my local Hallmark was giving $10-off coupons with ornament purchases.

The Elephant Mario, and the coin look good.

Going to the Hallmark store is a guilty pleasure of mine. So many neat ones in this catalogue. Elephant Mario, Kraft Dinner, Pixar’s Knick Knack Snowglobe and Stone Cold Steve Austin are my favorites.

Elephant Mario is the stuff of Christmas nightmares.

Some of the NSO Keychains make for good tree ornaments btw, if you have any tucked in a drawer. I know i hang Cat-Mario from 3DW and something Splatoon, they look great

Forgot to mention that there are also ornament series, such as the SUPER MARIO POWER UP series.

You get snowstorms for two or three April days, and lo...

If they had released more Nintendo-themed ornaments, like one for every character in the Mario series, (Bowser for example) I would buy them all!!

And not exclusive to its online store that is.

Thanks for the article. Didn’t know that star existed and will be atop my tree this year.

That is way too early, but super ready at this time. Next thing we know they’ll start Christmas sales by mid September. But where are the Splatoon ornaments?

May God bless us.
