The Second Halloween Cookie Cutter Ornament Put a Spell on Me

It’s been nine years since we got a Halloween companion ornament to Hallmark’s Cookie Cutter Christmas series.  I wasn’t expecting to get a second Halloween piece, but I’m not complaining because it is fun.

This time, the cookie cutter shape that forms the outline of the ornament is a witch’s hat.  Inside the scene, we see some pumpkins in the front left corner.  In the background, we have our mouse friend dressed at a witch on a broom ready to fly away.  Behind him, you can see a bit of the moon and some stars in the night sky.  As always, there are some details that are candy, and, in this case, the broom is actually a piece of candy corn.

The mouse was dressed as a witch in the first Halloween ornament we got with him.  It’s not the same costume, however.  And I shouldn’t really complain since I recycle the same costume pretty much every year.

My more serious complaint about the ornament is how deep it is.  Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem, but because of how the top narrows, it makes it a little hard to see the mouse.  Or maybe that’s just me.  But it doesn’t feel as open as many of the ornaments in the series are.  Or maybe it’s just the fact that it makes the scene more shaded.  If you are looking at it in direct light, it doesn’t seem so tunneled.

Since this is an unofficial companion piece to the series, we don’t have a series marker on the ornament.

The hat shape has a nice flat bottom, so you can easily set this out to be displayed, if you want.  If you do hang your Halloween ornaments, you’ll be happy to hear that this ornament hangs straight.

This is a cute ornament overall.  If you decorate for Halloween in a not super spooky manner, you’ll want to consider adding this one to your collection.

Check out more Cookie Cutter ornaments for the rest of the year.
