2026 Holiday Parade #8
2026 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament
QXR8092
Eighth in the "Holiday Parade" Hallmark Keepsake series.
The irony of this Christmas ornament is not subtle -- a cool snowman, wearing black sunglasses and a red Winter scarf is leaning out of the driver's window of his pickup truck, which is decorated with hot rod flames! Full of personality and humor, it combines sunny Summer vibes and Winter themes with a funny twist. Metallic-silver "chrome" bumpers, mirrors, hubcaps, and grill with an evergreen wreath and red bow ensures that it will stand out on your tree. In the back of the bright orange and yellow truck is a stack of green tires shaped like a Christmas tree, with red and yellow bulbs, topped with a shiny red oil can, with metallic-silver top/bottom, and a gold star on the front. The side doors' advertising tells us that "Tim's Tires" sells new and used tires, and also fixes flats. Both the front and rear license plates are boldly dated 2026 in red, and the bright red lettering on the tailgate says "FOLLOW ME TO BURN SOME RUBBER!"... hopefully he knows not to get too close to the fire! This clever design brings extra laughs for car lovers, mechanics, and collectors who enjoy unique holiday décor. Packed with colorful details and playful imagination, this ornament brings a lively, lighthearted spirit to the season and adds plenty of cheerful character to your holiday celebrations. The ornament can stand on it's own, or be hung from the top, and is also dated on the underside. It's packaged in a full color box.

"A Keepsake Ornament is something so special that you keep it forever. Thinking about people bringing my ornaments out every year...I can't even describe how it feels. It's very touching and emotional for me."
