Feel the festive side of the Force with these all-new Hallmark Keepsake Star Wars surprises from Hallmark. Enjoy new franchise fun from the Mandalorian as well as classics from a galaxy far, far away.

This April, Hallmark published its annual Keepsake Dream Book. The holiday catalog showcases scores of seasonal swag, including famous franchise favorites and classic Christmas collections.

Perhaps the most successful and popular product line in this year’s holiday line up is that of Star Wars. Not only did the franchise change how movies are merchandised when it was released in 1977, it continues to be a fan favorite today. Now owned by the Walt Disney Company, Force fueled fun is found on Disney+ as well as at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland (California) and Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Florida).

Hallmark is no stranger to the Star Wars saga.  Keepsake ornaments have featured Luke, Darth and more for years. George Lucas’ famous films even help launch Hallmark’s Storyteller line of holiday magic. This year’s offerings include characters from the successful Disney+ series, The Mandalorian.
