Celebrate the Magic Early: Christmas in July with Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments
It may be warm outside, but that isn’t stopping us at Hallmark Timmins from appreciating the holidays. Our extensive selection of products makes every day an opportunity to become inspired with the Christmas spirit. This article will show you how to celebrate Christmas in July with Hallmark keepsake ornaments and other themed finds.
The History of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments
The Hallmark Keepsake Ornament collection began in 1973 as a modest line of eighteen glass ball ornaments and six yarn figures, but it would grow to become one of the most beloved and collectible holiday traditions. What started as a simple expansion of Hallmark's seasonal greeting card business transformed into a cultural phenomenon that has adorned millions of Christmas trees and sparked passionate collecting communities across the nation.
These miniature works of art capture everything from pop culture icons and beloved characters to meaningful life moments and family milestones. Each year, Hallmark releases new series and commemorative pieces that reflect the zeitgeist of their era, from Star Trek and Disney characters to sports heroes and classic cars. The ornaments serve as tiny time capsules, preserving memories and marking the passage of years in a way that resonates deeply with collectors who eagerly anticipate each annual release and often plan their holiday shopping around the latest additions to their cherished collections.

Why Celebrate the Magic Early?
December goes by quickly, so there’s nothing wrong with wanting to celebrate the magic early. In fact, doing so is practical.
Here are our top arguments for why:
Extended Joy and Anticipation
Starting your holiday celebrations early allows you to savour the season rather than rush through it. When December arrives, you're already immersed in the festive spirit, making each moment more meaningful rather than frantically trying to cram everything into a few short weeks.
Better Planning and Preparation
Early celebration gives you time to thoughtfully select gifts, plan gatherings, and create memorable experiences without the stress of last-minute shopping and scheduling conflicts. You can focus on what truly matters—spending quality time with loved ones.
Financial Benefits
Spreading holiday purchases across several months helps avoid the financial strain of December spending sprees. You can take advantage of sales throughout the year and budget more effectively for gifts, decorations, and celebrations.
Creating Lasting Traditions
When you start celebrating early, you have more opportunities to establish and enjoy family traditions. Whether it's decorating with Hallmark ornaments in November or baking holiday cookies in early December, extended celebrations create richer, more substantial memories.
Combating Seasonal Stress
The holiday season can be overwhelming when compressed into just December. By beginning celebrations earlier, you reduce anxiety and create space for genuine enjoyment rather than feeling pressured to make everything perfect in a limited timeframe.
