The PlayStation Console Ornament is a new addition to Hallmark's 2026 Keepsake collection that transforms Sony's original gaming console into a holiday decoration. Measuring approximately four inches wide, the plastic ornament faithfully reproduces the first-generation PlayStation alongside its matching controller, capturing details such as the disc lid, button layout and iconic console design. A built-in light-and-sound feature activates the original PlayStation startup sequence, adding an interactive element inspired by the classic gaming experience.
Battery operated and priced at $28.99 USD, the ornament combines collectible design with seasonal décor for retro gaming enthusiasts. Released as part of Hallmark's annual Keepsake Premiere event, the miniature console joins the brand's lineup of pop culture-inspired holiday ornaments that celebrate recognizable entertainment properties through detailed reproductions.
