Raise a Root Beer Stein with Snoopy to Celebrate an Anniversary

This year marks a milestone for Hallmark’s Spotlight on Snoopy ornament series.  It has reached 25 years.  Naturally, that calls for a celebration, so Hallmark has released an extra ornament for fans to buy.

Like all the ornaments in this series, it features Snoopy and Woodstock.  They are decked out in their best – tuxes with red bow ties and top hats.  The bow ties and the silver bands on their hats have glitter on them.  And they both have steins of root beer in their hands.  Woodstock happens to be sitting on the rim of Snoopy’s stein.  Snoopy’s stein has 25 Years on the front.

And I love it.  Okay, I’m not the biggest fan of glitter just because it tends to get everywhere, but other than that, I really do like this ornament.  Which is a good thing since it is pricier than the entries in this series usually are.  It’s Snoopy celebrating as he would – with root beer.  And these two friends all dressed up in a hoot.

Yes, you can set this ornament out since Snoopy is standing on his own feet.  However, it’s not quite as sturdy as I expected it to be.  It will easily tip backwards, so keep that in mind when you decide where to put it.

On the other hand, when you go to hang it, you’ll find that it tips forward.  While that’s disappointing, I don’t see an option for where to put the loop where it won’t tip.  I suspect that with careful placement on your tree, you won’t notice.

Hallmark considers this a Special Edition ornament.  It’s not an official part of the series, and you won’t find a series marker on it.  However, it’s also not a Limited Edition ornament.  Stores were free to order however many they thought they’d sell.  If you want it, you don’t need to rush out and get it today, but I suspect it won’t be quite as plentiful as this year’s official series piece.

I can see this ornament appealing to casual Peanuts fans, however, those who have been collecting the Spotlight on Snoopy series will be especially glad that they picked up this 25th Anniversary ornament.
