Ornament Spotlight: The Nightmare Before Christmas Storytellers
Welcome to Halloween Town
There’s something special in the wind for these Storytellers ornaments from Disney The Nightmare Before Christmas.
While Storytellers ornaments are known for interacting with each other to tell a full story, there’s an extra surprise coming in this new collection: song.
“This is the first real musical Storytellers collection that we’ve done,” says Editorial Director Mike Brush. In addition to each ornament reciting dialogue from the movie, you’ll also be treated to excerpts from beloved songs, with special light shows based on the characters’ emotions.
“If you were to purchase one ornament only, you would still get a complete performance based on what that character says and does in the movie,” says Product Manager Charles Young. And there are a few more characters getting ready to join the story next year. The more characters you collect, the more story and song combinations you unlock.
The residents of Halloween Town are ready to give you a spooky-fun Christmas. So, boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange?

Ornament Spotlight: Christmas Cabin
Christmas Cabin
A Cozy Cabin Getaway
The joy of nostalgia shines brightly in this new ornament.
There’s nothing like coming home for Christmas and reminiscing about your favorite holiday memories. Those feelings were top-of-mind for Keepsake Artist
Ken Crow when he designed his Christmas Cabin ornament, modeled in part after his very own cabin in the woods.
“We get more of a gentle snow at my cabin,” says Ken. “So I’ll go out and draw pictures on our deck just for the fun of it. There’s a lot of idyllic things to see. My cabin’s like an ornament to me.”
The snowy scene is made magical with the help of a medley of classic Christmas songs. The carolers, skaters and sledders also get in on the holiday fun, moving to the tune of the music.
“There’s a light show all through the ornament,” Ken says. “The windows glow to the music, there’s a light in the fireplace behind the Christmas tree in the house where the kids are, the ice-skating rink lights up from below and the tree behind the rink lights up as well.”
The ornament’s picturesque scene is a reminder of the simple, merry pleasures of the season. Bring it home, and let it fill your heart with classic Christmas joy.

2020 Sneak Peek: Sound-A-Light Collection
Lights, Music, Magic!
Sound-A-Light technology creates a unique light show for every song and sound of the season.
Everyone has their favorite Christmas songs, and everyone loves the magic of Christmas lights. Now we’ve combined the two with Sound-A-Light.
“This technology is all about, ‘How do we get decorations and lights to respond to the music we play?’ ” says Engineer Phu Dang.
Each piece of immersive technology puts on a spectacular light show based on preloaded music or by listening and reacting to the music you play nearby.
Or, if you prefer a calmer kind of light show, each piece can also shine a continuous glow without sound.
This year, we’re adding a wreath and two tabletop pieces to the Sound-A-Light collection. Use them individually or all at once to see a coordinated show that’s guaranteed to give you a Christmas filled with light, color and sound like you’ve never seen before!

Ornament Spotlight: The Beauty of Birds Clock
The Beauty of Birds Clock
Sights & Sounds of Nature
This new kind of clock brings everything you love about the outdoors into your home.
For this birdhouse clock based on her Beauty of Birds Christmas tree ornament series, Keepsake Artist Edythe Kegrize wanted to bring the outdoors in.
“In addition to classical music being played, the birds next to the clock face tweet and move their tails,” Edythe explains. “The music will grab your attention, but it’s meant to be a softer kind of ambiance that captures the prettiness of the series.”
“We had to ask ourselves, ‘Where would her series ornaments live if they had a nice, cohesive birdhouse that also happens to be a clock?’ ” Keepsake Artist Robert Hurlburt says.
With flickering lights that project on the branches and sprigs adorning its center, the clock is meant to evoke what you might see in a woodland environment, with accompanying classical music excerpts from composers Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes and Georges Bizet.
“When we were designing the lights, we were thinking about the qualities of the sky during different times of day—like sunrise or sunset,” Edythe says. “Or how the light looks on a walk through a treed canopy and how the shadows kind of flicker on the ground.”
With its unique design, classical music and gentle bird chirps, this clock is a year-round reminder of the simple pleasures of nature.

Ornament Spotlight: Australian Shepherd

Puppy Love
30th in the series.
Reminders of Family
One artist shares the personal connection to her latest pup.
Ornaments can be more than just things we hang from our trees. For some, they represent happy memories of family and friends, even the furry ones.
For the 30th ornament in her Puppy Love series, Keepsake Artist Anita Marra Rogers based her design on two of her own four-legged family members— specifically GiGi and Zoey, her cousins’ Australian Shepherds (pictured below). Each of the 30 ornaments in the series has its own distinct look and pose, but they all show off the playful nature of man’s best friend. And with this Aussie pawing happily at a fallen red ornament, this year highlights the idea that there’s nothing quite as sweet as puppy love.

Ornament Spotlight: Rocking Horse Memories
Rocking Horse Memories
1st in the series.
Timeless Traditions
A favorite of fans and kids alike is coming back this year.
For his first series as a Keepsake artist, Matt Johnson looked to the past: “Rocking horses have such a rich history associated with children’s toys and Christmastime,” he says.
And for Keepsake Ornaments, the Rocking Horse series was one of the most popular series ever produced running for 16 years starting in 1981. As he approached the series for 2020, Matt says it felt like a good time for a refresh.
For his new series, Matt used a combination of materials to create his rocking horse, like formed metal to create the stirrups and embroidery thread for the tail and reins. Each year, the horses will be painted in different colors and patterns and adorned with different embellishments.
Whether you’re looking to start a series in honor of your newest family member or are just a fan of the childhood classic, this new tradition is sure to leave your tree looking as timeless as the horses that adorn it.

Nostalgic Houses & Shops
37th in the series.
A Dream House
Keepsake Artist Don Palmiter brings an early 1900s aesthetic to Nostalgic Houses & Shops #37.
Don starts out just as a builder would when creating the dimensions and detail of this long-running series.
“After creating a blueprint, I build the basic frame of the houses and buildings with wood–all the doors, windows and most of the trim are also wood.”
From there, it only gets more detailed. He covers the wood frame in wax so he can sculpt out all the fine details of the house or building to make them feel as realistic as possible.
“Then I build all the furnishings with the same wood and wax,” Don explains. “Once the prototype is finished, I break it into several parts for molding.”
“I always try to make the furnishings feel as though they tell a story of what might be going on for those people who live, work or shop in all the different businesses and houses.”

Ornament Spotlight: Disney Fantasia
Disney Fantasia
80th Anniversary
Still Magical After 80 Years
Lifelong Disney fan and Keepsake Artist Ken Crow adds magic of his own to a Mickey classic.
Combining his love for Disney with the timeless wonder of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Ken set out to make an ornament as magical as the classic Fantasia vignette from 1940, creating a living scene from the movie that has just as much personality as the animated characters in it.
“If an ornament looks predictable and acts like a machine, then that’s what people will think it is. And that’s not all that magical,” he explains. “But the ornament’s brooms all have this jiggle that makes them look like they’re lifting the buckets as they hop up the stairs. And Mickey really does look like he’ reaching to direct everything. I’m really, really happy with how everything turned out.”
With a press of a button, watch the enchanted brooms go about their work, carrying buckets of water up the steps to music from the animated short, while a coordinated light show immerses you in the ornament’s fantastical scene.
