The 15 Coolest Sci-Fi Christmas Ornaments of 2026

Hallmark Ornaments never cease to amaze me. As someone who’s been purchasing them since the 1990s, each year, the company releases some of the coolest, most unique, official pop culture ornaments imaginable. And sure, there are your traditional Santas, angels, and snowmen too. But then there’s Star Wars and Marvel and some deep cuts you have to see to believe. It’s almost as if the ornaments get weirder and more awesome every single year, so below, we’ve picked our 15 favorite ornaments Hallmark released for 2026. Aliens Dropship © Hallmark Express elevator to Hell! Going down! Yes, arguably the most random, excellent ornament of the season is the Dropship from James Cameron’s Aliens. Hallmark already turned the Alien Queen and Power Loader into ornaments, so this seems like the logical next step. But that they even considered it at all feels like a modern miracle.

Original Boba Fett still reigns supreme over most Star Wars designs. Learn more here. Star Trek Spock vs. Serpents © Hallmark Inspired by a 1972 model kit, this Star Trek ornament is for the true fans only. Spock fighting serpents never actually happened on The Original Series, but some may think it did because of this model kit. And now, it’s an ornament. Learn more here. Sonic the Flash © Hallmark The Flash is fast. Sonic is fast. So, why not have Sonic dress up as the Flash? Makes sense to us. Learn more here. Battlestar Galactica Viper © Hallmark So say we all! The famous Viper ship from Battlestar Galactica is now an ornament. Starbuck not included. Learn more here. Terminator Sarah Connor © Hallmark She’s protecting humanity from the comfort of your Christmas tree. It’s Sarah Connor, mother of John Connor, leader of the resistance against Skynet and its killer Terminators. No one is messing with your tree this year with Sarah hanging from it. Learn more here. Godzilla: King of the Monsters © Hallmark The King of all Monsters can now become the king of all your ornaments. Learn more here. The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Nutcracker © Hallmark Hallmark makes tons of Disney ornaments and we’re only featuring a few.

Dune sandworm © Hallmark Dune: Part Three is on the way so, to celebrate, why not get a giant sandworm on your tree? And hey, at least it’s not a popcorn bucket. Learn more here. Avatar: The Last Airbender Appa © Hallmark The most lovable character in all of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Appa, is finally an ornament and he’s just kind of perfect. Learn more here. X-Men ’97 Blackbird © Hallmark Maybe you have some X-Men ornaments on your tree. But do you have the Blackbird from X-Men ’97 that plays the theme song? No? Well, now you can. Learn more here. It’s a Wonderful Life © Hallmark As we’ve argued many, many, times in the past, Frank Capra’s holiday movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, is a genre movie. But it’s also a classic so giving it this spotlight movie poster treatment is perfect. Learn more here. Star Wars B-Wing © Hallmark Hallmark has done X-Wings. It’s done Y-Wings. It’s even done an A-Wing. But B-Wings? Never. Until now. One of the most fun ships in the Rebel Alliance is ready to blast away any Imperials flying your way. Learn more here. Creature From the Black Lagoon Gill-man © Hallmark Simple. Classic. Awesome. It’s the Creature From the Black Lagoon, aka the Gill-man. Learn more here. Rick and Morty © Hallmark We love this Rick and Morty ornament because it’s not just an ornament. It’s two ornaments. You get both stars of the show in one, and what could be better than that?
