There’s something truly special about a Hallmark Keepsake Ornament. Not just the sparkle or the intricate detail — but the feeling of nostalgia it brings. Each one tells a tiny story, capturing the wonder of Christmas in a moment frozen in time. Here at Our Old Farmhouse, I’ve been curating a collection of vintage Hallmark treasures, each chosen for its craftsmanship, warmth, and connection to the holiday memories we cherish most.  

🐭 A Mouse in a Matchbox – 1979 Tree-Trimmer Collection

1979 Hallmark Tree-Trimmer Mouse in a Matchbox Ornament in Original Box

 One of the sweetest pieces from Hallmark’s early years, this 1979 Tree-Trimmer Collection ornament features a sleepy little mouse snuggled under a blue-checked blanket in a vintage-style matchbox marked Strike Anywhere. Manufactured in Hong Kong for Hallmark Cards, it’s a delightful example of the early craftsmanship that defined Hallmark’s collectible charm. Still nestled in its original green velvet-lined box, it’s as cozy and heartwarming as Christmas Eve itself.  

☃️ Winter Whimsy: The Snowman Trio

Hallmark Keepsake Snowman Trio: Snowman’s Land, Meadow Snowman, and Mom 2001

 The snowmen are always a favorite, and this charming trio brings personality and nostalgia in equal measure:  

  • Snowman’s Land: Glittered and cheerful, holding a sign that reads “Snow Place Like Home!” 
  • Meadow Snowman: Rustic and classic, with a broom in one hand and a plaid scarf around his neck. 
  • Mom 2001 Snowman: A sentimental tribute to mothers and family warmth, wrapped in red and green. 

Together, they bring the sparkle of snowy mornings and the heart of vintage Christmas décor.  

🎅 Four Santas, Four Stories

Hallmark Santa Ornament Collection including Up on the Rooftop, Night Before Christmas, Jolly Locomotive, and Saint Nicholas

 No Christmas collection would be complete without Santa Claus — and these vintage Hallmark ornaments capture his magic in every form.  

  • Up on the Rooftop (1991): Santa rides a reindeer, ready to deliver holiday joy. 
  • Night Before Christmas (1991 Twirl-About!): A charming scene with Santa standing atop a chimney, surrounded by a snowy village. 
  • Jolly Locomotive: Santa driving a bright red train filled with toys and cheer. 
  • Saint Nicholas (Porcelain Edition): A graceful, pale-green ceramic Santa — simple, elegant, timeless. 

Each one tells a different part of the story we all know by heart: the joy of giving.  

🕰️ Why We Love Collecting Hallmark Keepsakes

There’s a reason Hallmark ornaments are beloved by generations. They’re not just décor — they’re tiny memories, painted and sculpted with care. From the earliest Tree-Trimmer designs to today’s Keepsake masterpieces, each piece connects us to Christmases past and the joy of collecting something meaningful. At Our Old Farmhouse, we celebrate the beauty of the old and the art of preserving stories. Hallmark ornaments do both — beautifully.
