Positively Trek 255: A Tree Full of Starships

Star Trek Christmas Tree Ornaments Over the Years

In 1991, Hallmark put out the first in their line of Star Trek Keepsake Ornaments: The original U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. In the 32 years since, every holiday season has seen more and more ornaments for Trek fans to add to their collection.

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss the varied and sometimes oddball entries in the Hallmark Star Trek ornament line. From gorgeous starships, to character statuettes, all the way to dioramas featuring Spock urging McCoy to shoot a salt vampire, there is a lot to talk about!

In the news segment, we discuss the current state of Trek on television, including the completion of work on Star Trek: Prodigy’s second season, the start of production on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ third season, and the hotly-anticipated beginning of production on Star Trek: Section 31. Plus: new diecast starships on the way?
