Sweets for Your Halloween Party

Somehow, I missed the Halloween Party ornament when I was browsing through Hallmark’s Dreambook this year.  Granted, I rarely pay much attention to the Halloween ornaments, so that’s probably how I missed it.  But when I was in the store in July, I spotted it and immediately knew I had to add it to my collection.

This ornament is a companion to the Season’s Treatings series and features some festive goodies ready for Halloween.  The main feature is some kind of punch.  It’s obvious a witch’s brew drink since it has green bubbles coming out of the top of the cauldron.  There’s also a mug off to the side with some of this drink in it.  In front of the cauldron, we have a plate with a bat and ghost cookie and three cupcakes decorated to look like pumpkins.  All of this is sitting on a purple tray with candy corn accents on the side.

This isn’t the first time we’ve gotten a Season’s Treatings Halloween themed piece, but I like this one much better.  The first one was themed around caramel apples and candy corn, and I’m not a fan of either of those, so it’s mostly about the treats than the looks of the ornaments.

Plus this one is just fun.  I don’t know what the drink is, but I want to try it.  And I don’t think I’d be able to resist the cupcakes or cookies.  Plus, the colors work well together and really scream Halloween.

Since this ornament has a tray as a base, it lays nice and flat, so you can display it anywhere you want.  As a companion piece, this ornament doesn’t have any series markers on it.

If you go to hang your ornament, you’ll find it does tip forward a little.  Most of the ornaments in the series do this, and it is a design feature instead of a flaw, so I’m assuming it was done on purpose here, too.  It certainly looks great that way, allowing us to see the cookies and cupcakes a little better.

I’m glad I spotted Halloween Party, especially since it has proved to be popular.  I’m looking forward to displaying it in October and for many more years to come.
