Hallmark
Keepsake Ornaments product history
Christmas
trees first appeared in America
in the 1700s. Decorated trees were brought to America by Hessians – German
mercenary soldiers fighting in the Revolutionary War – but didn’t become widely
popular until people saw the ornaments brought to America by families
emigrating from Germany and England in the 1840s.
In
1973, Hallmark introduced a small line of six glass ball ornaments and 12 yarn
figures as the first collection of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. The
longest-running current ornament series is Frosty Friends, now in its 33rd
year. Since the line’s inception, Hallmark has introduced more than 3,000
Keepsake Ornaments and more than 100 ornament series.
More
than 500 local chapters of the national Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Club are
active in the United States
and Canada.
