Snowman Inside a Companion Ornament

Several years ago, Hallmark had a limited series they called Inside Story.  These ornaments feature a scene of some kind inside a traditionally shaped ornament.  They returned to this series with Top Hat Snowman.

The main ornament is a red oblong shape with a sphere at the top and a teardrop shape at the bottom.  It’s nice and shiny, too, which I like.  Inside the main oval, we see a snowman.  He’s wearing a gray hat and a red and white striped scarf.  He’s leaning on a candy cane, and there’s a snowflake shape on his stomach.

The snowman is a little simpler than the rest of the official Inside Story ornaments.  But that’s a minor complaint.  The red really stands out on the Christmas tree, and it looks so elegant.  It’s just a fun little piece.

Since this is a companion ornament released a few years after the original series ended, you won’t find a series marker on it at all.

Obviously, with the shape of the ornament, it won’t sit out.  You have to hang it.  Fortunately, it hangs straight.

If you had gone into a store specifically to buy this ornament, you wouldn’t have been able to find it.  Instead, it was a gift to Hallmark’s best customers during their November VIP event.  It’s probably the one thing from the bag I’ll be using going forward.

Top Hat Snowman is a fun ornament.  I was happy to see them go back and revisit the Inside Story series since I love that concept.
