2026 Reveal: Game On! Hallmark Brings a Legendary Xbox Console to the Christmas Tree!
XBOX HALO Special Edition Console
For Xbox fans, 2004 was a year to remember. Halo 2 had arrived, multiplayer battles were keeping friends glued to their televisions, and Microsoft’s translucent green Halo Special Edition Xbox was turning heads. More than 20 years later, that unforgettable console is making a comeback, only this time, in miniature!
Just in time for Xbox’s 25th anniversary on November 15, Hallmark is recreating the legendary console with its new Xbox Halo Special Edition Console Keepsake Ornament. From the distinctive translucent green casing and “Halo Special Edition” lettering to the matching wired controller resting on top, Hallmark has captured the details that made the original a favorite among Xbox fans and collectors.
But the real magic begins when you press the power button! The ornament lights up, the unmistakable Xbox startup sound fills the air, and the legendary “Halo Theme Mjolnir Mix” from Halo 2 kicks in. Suddenly, it’s 2004 again. You’re battling the Covenant, challenging friends to multiplayer matches, and promising yourself just one more game!
Available exclusively on Amazon, this little green console brings a memorable chapter of gaming history back to life. And this Christmas, you won’t have to look under the tree to find an Xbox. There might just be one hanging on it!

2026 Reveal: When Snowmen Discover Halloween…
Get ready to scare up some festive fun with the brand-new Halloween Snowmen Collection from The Work of Whimsy Studio! We all know the story of Halloween characters discovering the wonder of Christmas…but what happens when things go the other way around? It seems a couple of Tammy Haddix’s snowmen have wandered beyond their winter wonderland and stumbled upon something they never knew existed… Halloween!
They’ve left the snowflakes behind for spooky fun, traded their winter hats for witchy ones, and suddenly find themselves surrounded by costumes, tricks, treats, and all the excitement of Halloween. And these two seem to be discovering very different things to love about their newfound holiday.
Halloween Snowmen
One little snowman has already figured out trick-or-treating—or at least the treating part! With an oversized piece of candy corn in one hand and a star-tipped wand in the other, he may have even learned a trick of his own. Could that wand have something to do with his supersized treat? Judging by that mischievous little smile, he isn’t giving away any secrets!
Halloween Snowmen
His companion has made a discovery of his own. With his arms stretched wide, he proudly holds a shimmering strand of stars, as though he’s discovered that Halloween has a little sparkle of its own. While one has found the treats, the other has found the sparkle—and together, their first Halloween adventure begins to take shape.
There’s something wonderfully unexpected about Tammy bringing the nostalgic charm of her snowmen into the world of Halloween. These familiar wintertime characters suddenly have a whole new personality, with just enough magic to make you wonder why snowmen haven’t been celebrating Halloween all along.
Maybe that’s part of their charm. They make you look forward to that first crisp chill in the fall air—the kind that tells you Halloween is just around the corner and almost makes you wish winter would arrive a little early. They’re the kind of little characters you can picture unpacking each October, finding their place among your favorite Halloween decorations, and smiling when you see those familiar faces again year after year.
One found the treats. The other found the sparkle. Together, they found a holiday they never knew they were missing. Something tells us they won’t be waiting for Christmas anymore!
