Young Santa

Young Santa Hallmark Ornaments

(2022-PRESENT)

Young Santa began in 2022 as a numbered annual series about Saint Nicholas in his youth. The dates and numbers establish a direct chronology: the second ornament followed in 2023, the third in 2024, and the fourth in 2025. The first design is not linked here, but the consecutive count places it in 2022 and supports the 2022-PRESENT range. Sheyda Abvabi Best designed numbers two, three, and four.

2023 Young Santa #2 centers on a winter outing with a puppy. Young Santa and the dog share a sled, and both are dressed for cold weather. This entry gives the series an active outdoor scene while keeping its attention on the bond between the young character and his animal companion. The numbered title identifies it as the direct follow-up to the 2022 beginning.

2024 Young Santa #3 changes the setting and action. The puppy pops out of a box indoors rather than riding beside Young Santa on a sled. Keeping the puppy connects the third ornament to the second, while the new scene prevents the consecutive designs from repeating the same activity. Its 2024 date also continues the yearly count without a gap.

2025 Young Santa #4 takes place in a stable and introduces a baby reindeer. Young Santa fastens a green collar and gold jingle bell around the calf. A fabric scarf and real pom-pom supply the entry's textile details, while the date is placed inside the back of Santa's jacket. The calf is unnamed, and nothing in the supported title or scene confirms that it is Dasher. This fourth ornament therefore marks the series' first linked stable chapter without assigning the young reindeer an identity that Hallmark did not provide.
