Hallmark is releasing a PlayStation ornament as part of its 2026 Keepsake collection. The miniature ornament, designed by artist Orville Wilson, is a detailed replica of the original PlayStation console and controller. It’s more than just a decoration – it features a working power button that lights up and plays the iconic PlayStation 1 startup sound.
This ornament is 4 inches wide, 3.75 inches tall, and 1.5 inches deep – a typical size for Hallmark Keepsake ornaments. Made of plastic and including a hanger, it’s designed to be displayed on a Christmas tree. However, its detailed design and special features also make it a great display piece on a shelf or desk for collectors who enjoy keeping it out all year.
The ornament’s main feature is a built-in light and sound system. When you press the power button, it lights up with an LED and plays the iconic startup sound of the original PlayStation – that familiar ascending chime. It’s powered by three LR44 batteries, which are already installed, so it works right away. A tiny PlayStation controller sits alongside the console, recreating the classic look of gaming setups from the 1990s.
The first PlayStation debuted in Japan in 1994 and came to North America in 1995, changing video games forever. It introduced mainstream players to games on discs with 3D graphics, selling over 100 million consoles globally. This success made Sony a leading name in gaming—a position they’ve held through five more console versions. Now, the fact that Hallmark is making a PlayStation ornament shows just how much of an impact this device had on our culture.
The Hallmark PlayStation Console Ornament With Light and Sound is available now via Hallmark.
