Hallmark’s Glowing Xbox 360 Ornament Plays the Halo Theme
Gamers can now add a nostalgic twist to their holiday décor — Hallmark’s glowing Xbox 360 ornament plays the Halo theme and lights up just like the real console. This new Keepsake ornament brings the magic of gaming and Christmas together, making it a must-have collectible for Xbox fans and Halo lovers alike.
Available for $28.99 on Hallmark’s online store and Amazon, the ornament plays both the console’s classic startup sound and about 20 seconds of the “Behold a Pale Horse” track from Halo 3, which includes the iconic Halo theme. Pressing the tiny power button triggers the familiar sounds — a perfect dose of nostalgia for anyone who remembers the console’s golden era.
A Miniature Masterpiece of Gaming Nostalgia
Hallmark’s glowing Xbox 360 ornament is a 3.25-inch detailed replica of Microsoft’s beloved console, which first launched in November 2005. Despite its small size, every design detail has been carefully recreated — from the console’s curves to the matching mini controller that rests at its base. It’s a true tribute to one of gaming’s most influential systems.
The ornament stands upright, mirroring the vertical orientation many gamers preferred. Although the real Xbox 360 could also be laid flat, Hallmark’s version keeps things classic by displaying it standing tall — just as many remember it on their entertainment stands.
Lighting Up the Holidays — Literally
When you press the ornament’s power button, it lights up green, mimicking the console’s signature glow. While red and green are iconic holiday colors, fans will be happy to know this Xbox 360 ornament won’t flash the infamous Red Ring of Death. Instead, you’ll be treated to a warm, festive light — and a dose of gaming nostalgia that perfectly blends with your holiday cheer.
The ornament is powered by three replaceable button batteries, ensuring you can replay the Halo theme again and again throughout the holiday season. Whether you’re gifting it to a gamer or adding it to your own tree, this collectible brings a fun and geeky twist to traditional décor.
Perfect Gift for Halo Fans and Xbox Collectors
For longtime Xbox fans, Hallmark’s glowing Xbox 360 ornament that plays the Halo theme is more than just decoration — it’s a sentimental piece of gaming history. The Halo series helped define a generation of players, and now its theme can echo through your living room alongside classic holiday tunes.
Collectors are already calling it one of Hallmark’s best gaming-themed Keepsakes, joining previous ornaments inspired by consoles like the NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis. It’s part nostalgia, part conversation piece, and entirely charming for anyone who grew up with the Xbox 360.
Where to Buy
You can grab the ornament now from Hallmark’s online store or Amazon for $28.99. Given its popularity among gamers and collectors, it’s likely to sell out fast. Whether you’re decking the halls or hunting for the perfect gamer gift, this Halo-playing ornament adds a uniquely nostalgic glow to any Christmas setup.
