Hallmark Unveils New Collection of Gaming Ornaments, Featuring a Must-Have for Xbox 360 Enthusiasts

So, here we go. Hallmark has rolled out—wait for it—34 new gaming-themed holiday ornaments. Yeah, you heard me right. It’s like they finally figured out gamers have trees too. Or maybe it’s just another way to grab onto all that nostalgia floating around. Seriously, all these are based on our beloved Xbox, Nintendo, and Sega pals.

Anyway, some backstory here: Xbox and Nintendo are having quite the year. Xbox’s Minecraft Movie — who knew, right? — made $800 million or something. That’s a ridiculous amount of money. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s gearing up to drop their Switch 2. People are buzzing, obviously.

Hallmark’s not just about those cheesy greeting cards anymore. Nope, they’ve become a kind of hideout for pop culture nerds—sorry, enthusiasts. They’ve been cranking out ornaments with everything from Star Wars to Disney characters. Now, video games are joining the fray.

Months away from the holidays, and already Hallmark’s showcasing these little masterpieces. Let’s talk Xbox first, okay? They’ve got this epic Xbox 360 ornament —the one with the game box and Master Chief just leaping out. Man, it’s wild. Then there’s the Minecraft pink sheep. Who thought that’d be a hit?

Wait, wait — Nintendo’s not far behind. They’ve got Pokemon pieces — gotta catch ’em all, right? Jigglypuff, Pikachu, those pals. And then — drumroll — a Legend of Zelda gold cartridge. How cool is that? But the showstopper? A Mario Super Star, decked out and flashing. My childhood heart’s going pitter-patter.

Amazing, right? Problem is, patience young Padawan. Most won’t hit shelves until October 11. But if you’re lucky, some gems are out this July. If you see them before they’re snapped up, grab them. Trust me.

Oh, did I mention? You can already snag ornaments of Nintendo’s oldies and the Sega Genesis. All that nostalgia in one tiny piece of plastic. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?
