2026 Sneak Peek/Double Take
Here are a few more sneak peeks and a few double takes from the 2026 Keepsake Ornament line.
2026 Sneak Peek: Making Memories
In this year’s Making Memories design, a cheerful big snowman is busy placing a lush evergreen wreath—with a little “help” from his tiny companion, who has managed to pop right through the center. With a bright red bow perched above and a perfectly round little face peeking out, the wreath becomes more than décor… it becomes part of the moment. Down below, their loyal pup looks on, quietly taking in the scene.
The 19th in the Making Memories series continues the tradition of one big snowman and one little snowman sharing simple, joy-filled holiday moments. This scene captures that perfectly unscripted bit of magic—when helping turns into playing, and decorating turns into laughter.
Wrapped in his cozy scarf and winter hat, the big snowman stands steady and patient, while the little one—now fully “decked out”—seems delighted with his new role. It’s a gentle reminder that the best memories aren’t the perfectly planned ones, but the ones that happen along the way.
Full of charm, humor, and heart, this ornament tells a small story you’ll recognize instantly—the kind that feels familiar, warm, and worth holding onto year after year.
2026 Sneak Peek: Gnome for Christmas
A sprinkle of North Pole magic and a dash of mischief can only mean one thing—a sneak peek at Gnome for Christmas #6 by Keepsake Artist Gregor Benedetti!
Gnaughty and Gnice are back at it, bringing their playful holiday spirit to a gingerbread house decked out in sweet details and snowy icing. These North Polar opposites may be different in every way, but they’re always in it together—ready for another round of festive fun.
Look for this ornament arriving in October!

2026 Sneak Peek: Retro Halloween

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.
