"Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments serve as a special tradition to bring people together and celebrate favorite memories or milestones, but they're also always evolving," Gregor Benedetti, a Hallmark Keepsake Artist, said in a press release.

A tradition dating back more than 50 years

The summer release is a tradition that goes back more than 50 years.

Each year, Hallmark releases around 450 new ornaments, with designs ranging from traditional holiday scenes to animals to iconic film and television characters and just about everything in between, with the first releases coming far ahead of the holiday season in July.

Some of this year’s new ornaments include Peanuts cartoon characters and an Xbox video game console complete with light and sound. The full list can be found here.

As one comment read on an Instagram post from Hallmark announcing the new ornaments, “This is my Super Bowl, and I am ready.”

In a bit of synchronicity with the Super Bowl theme, Hallmark’s October release of 200 more collectable ornaments will include a new Travis Kelce one.
