Starting premiere weekend, July 12-13, 2008, Hallmark will begin offering a collection of ceramic ball ornaments. The first, pictured above, was inspired by the 1998 Snow Buddies ornament. It is titled "A Holiday Hello" and is 4 3/4 inches tall.

The second ornament in this collection will be "So Nice Being On Ice" featuring a Frosty Friends scene. It will be available beginning August 25, 2008.

The fifth and final ornament in this collection will be available beginning November 21, 2008. "Having a (Snow) Ball" will feature those lovable penguins.

These ornaments will be originally issued as Hallmark Gold Crown exclusives.
