Equipment: Hallmark has Released U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 G Metal Keepsake Ornament

Posted on 2026/08/07 by James

Hallmark has been producing Star Trek Keepsake ornaments for 35 years. The first ornament was the original U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 which was fitting.

I can’t believe that I have been a collector that long.

This year there are 3 different ships available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores, the U.S.S. Cerritos from Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Galileo 7 from the episode of the same name and the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 G from Star Trek: Picard. The Enterprise G is the one we will be reviewing.
