2018 Sneak Peek: Season’s Treatings
Season’s Treatings
10th in the series.
The Season’s Treatings series turns 10 years old in 2018! The creative vision of artist Sharon Visker, this series has delighted ornament and food fans with mini depictions of seasonal treats both savory and sweet.
In celebration of this special milestone, two Season’s Treatings ornaments will be released in 2018. First, the series’s regular 10th installment is a celebration of chocolate in many varieties, from cake and candy cups to a nostalgic, foil-wrapped Santa.
And in addition to the regular installment, a commemorative 10th-anniversary ornament will be released. This special Keepsake features cheerfully detailed wintry treats like candy canes, hot cocoa, marshmallows and a jolly, Santa-themed cocoa pot. This limited-quantity ornament will be released at Ornament Debut—it’s sure to be a treat!

Special Winter Cardinals Surprise
What was the rarest bird at the convention?
Most convention attendees would probably answer the miniature Elegant Hummingbird repaint… However, there was apparently another bird that was potentially more rare.
Ring in the Season
3rd in the series.
While many lined up for the opportunity to purchase a Mystery Bag in hopes of finding the elusive little hummingbird inside, at least one convention attendee discovered a gold-plated winter cardinals bell, third in the Ring in the Season series, in her product bag instead of the replated first in series bell (featuring scrollwork and snowflakes) created exclusively for the 2017 KOC event.
Whether this was accidental or a surprise that Hallmark kept a secret is anyone’s guess, but in the meantime check your Ring in the Season bell from the event to see if you were also a secret winner, and then please come back and share what you discovered! GOOD LUCK!

Here is a Sneak Peek of the 2018 Father Christmas ornament.
