2026 Sneak Peek: Retro Halloween

Nifty Fifties Halloween

Get a sneak peek of the 2026 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament, ready to haunt your holiday décor with 1950s Halloween charm.

Step back to a time of crepe paper capes, dime-store masks, and playful mid-century costumes. This Nifty Fifties Halloween ornament by Keepsake Artist Gregor Benedetti captures the whimsy and fun of the era.

With slicked-back hair, arched brows, and a delightfully toothy grin, this vintage-inspired vampire looks ready for the school Halloween costume parade—marching alongside classmates through echoing hallways alive with laughter, crepe paper streamers, black-and-orange construction-paper chains, and 1950s die-cut Halloween cardboard cutouts, all leading toward the Halloween carnival.

Presented in retro-style packaging, it’s a loving nod to classic Halloween costumes from a bygone era, when imagination led the way and a simple mask could transform a child.

Available beginning at Ornament Premiere in July.

Nifty Fifties Keepsake Ornaments

HALLMARK KEEPSAKE ARTIST

Debra Nielsen’s creative career began when a neighbor told her about an interesting freelance opportunity at Hallmark. The idea appealed to the working mom busy raising young kids, and the job became her first opportunity to turn art-which had been a lifelong hobby-into a profession. Ten years later, Debra joined the Keepsake Studio full time. Little did she know when she started as a freelancer that she would still be a Keepsake Artist thirty-three years later.

Nifty Fifties Keepsake Ornaments

Anita Marra Rogers has been a lifelong painter, but she didn’t know she could sculpt until an impromptu visit to Hallmark. A friend who worked in the Keepsake Studio invited her to stop by for lunch one day, and while the other artists were out at lunch, Anita decided sculpting was worth a try. Soon enough, she’d developed a sculpting portfolio that blew both Hallmark and her friend away and has been sculpting happily ever since.

Anita Marra Rogers

After joining Hallmark in 2012, Keepsake Artist Matt Johnson quickly learned just how much Keepsake Ornaments capture and share memories at Christmas. “You can see that in how people interact with an ornament and use it in their celebrations,” Matt says. “I appreciate that each Keepsake Ornament has artistry and the ability to mean different things to different people based on the experiences they bring to it.”
