Hmmm, decisions are hard!


If Keepsake artists could choose only one ornament as their number one pick this year, what would it be-and why? After checking in with a few of them, we learned it’s definitely a tough question. But these artists were up to the challenge.

Dasher
Eight Tiny Reindeer
1st in the series.

My top pick for 2025 is going to be Dasher, the first ornament in my new series, Eight Tiny Reindeer. It ended up being a very collaborative project to plan this series, and I’m so excited to share what our studio created.”

Christmas Cooker

I am really looking forward to picking up the Christmas Cooker ornament by Matt Johnson. I love the little snowman face! All the detail he packed into this miniature ornament is amazing.”

Keepsake Village

The ornament I’m most excited about is the 2025 Keepsake Village magic ornament. This was a collaborative piece that I did with Emma LeturgezSmith. With light, sound and motion, this ornament required a lot of teamwork with our engineer, editor and art director. It was a labor of love, and I hope our club members love it, too!”

“Let the Wookie™ Win”
Star Wars: A New Hope

I can’t wait for the magic of “Let the Wookiee™ Win” from Star Wars: A New Hope™. When you press the button, the ornament comes to life with a hologram effect in the Dejarik (holochess) scene that looks awesome! The combined magic of video, light and dialogue from the film will be so cool for fans to experience.”
