How to have Travis Kelce in your home for Christmas: He’s a Hallmark Keepsake ornament
Travis Kelce is about to pop up in a lot of homes this holiday season.
A Hallmark Keepsake Ornament that looks like the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is one of 250 designs of the coveted collectibles premiering July 13-21.
The Kelce ornament ($22.99) depicts him in motion, mid-air, “hauling in the ball for another big play,” Hallmark describes.
There’s a Super Bowl LVIII ornament ($24.99) in the collection too, commemorating the Chiefs’ back-to-back wins.
An earlier Kelce ornament, a “Bouncing Buddy” ornament ($16.99) with an oversized bobble head, is still available.
Collectors wait eagerly to get their hands on new Keepsakes that debut each July. Designs are ever-evolving, Hallmark Keepsake artist Gregor Benedetti said in a statement this week.
“This year, we’re excited to kick off a first-in-series 12 Days of Christmas ornament beginning with an intricate Partridge in A Pear Tree papercraft ornament,” he said.
“Next year, the series continues with — you guessed it — two turtle doves.”
Hallmark also created a new ShowToppers collection of miniature tree toppers designed to fit on its prelit, 17-inch Mini ShowToppers Tree ($44.99). The toppers create a synchronized sound and light show on the tree.
Other new offerings include:
▪ Snoring Santa Ornament with Sound and Motion. Santa’s eaten too many cookies and has dozed off. But hook him up to a Keepsake Power Cord and he snores.
▪ Mini Howlidays Helper Ornament. Miniature puppies in holiday gear. First in the series is a corgi in a Santa hat and scarf.
▪ Original Xbox Console Ornament with Light and Sound. Shaped like the original XBox, it plays the familiar, crackly, thunder-like startup sound and the Halo video game theme music.
Kelce’s fans have been talking about this month’s Keepsake release since Hallmark shared a peek earlier this year.
Fans of the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” podcast said in a Reddit discussion they’re still waiting for an Andy Reid ornament. (Hint hint?)
The new Keepsake ornaments can be ordered on Hallmark.com and are available at Hallmark Gold Crown Stores beginning Saturday.
Shoppers will see that Hallmark also sells a few Taylor Swift-themed gift items — the Tay-Do List Note Pad is $9.99, the bracelet is out of stock.
A Hallmark representative said there are no Tay-Tay Christmas ornaments.
Yet.
