Hallmark Christmas Trees

Thematic Christmas Trees are a special breed to me. These are (in case you don't know) trees with a theme. Learn more about them here.

Basically, a thematic tree is any tree that features one idea or notion throughout the decorations. It's a bit like an obsession or maybe even a compulsion by the owner. In this article, we are going to focus on the "Hallmark Obsession" by featuring Christmas trees that are composed of 75%-100% Hallmark ornaments.

While I'm not going to say that finding Hallmark themed trees are easy to find, I will say that they can be a little bit easier to find than other thematic trees. Of course, It's not hard to see why someone would want to use Hallmark ornaments and only Hallmark ornaments when they look like this:

This ornament was made in 1995 by Hallmark and is titled "Wee Little Christmas".
I love how the wee tree lights up.


Let's go ahead and look at another one:

This one is titled "Toymaker Santa #2" and he came out in 2001. He was part of an ongoing series by the same title.

But enough about ornaments.

Let's get to those Hallmark Christmas Trees!

Wow this one is so classy. Although this Christmas tree was put up in 2006, Jack (tree owner) used Hallmark ornaments that were made by Hallmark earlier:
"This was our gold & silver tree featuring Hallmark Expo ornaments from the early 1990's. The red & gold ribbon completes the look."
I completely agree.

But 2006 wasn't the only year that Jack English put up a lovely Hallmark tree.

I like to think of this Christmas tree as having a more "crafty toy" look. I think Jack would agree with me:
"This year we planned our holiday decorations for all of the young children in the family."
He may have wanted to please the kiddies, but he kept to his morals:
"The tree still only had Hallmark ornaments."

Let's move on to smaller Hallmark trees.

It may not be as grandiose as the Jack English trees but it definitely deserves a spot due to it's Hallmark heritage.
Oh, and I love the quaint little village underneath it.

Alright, one more...

...Jack English tree for you.
What a cute little setup. I would be honored to have this in my home.
I can imagine this scene being placed in a foyer so that any company would have the honor of witnessing it as soon as they walked through the door.
