NOTTINGHAM, MD—The annual Hallmark Ornament Debut will be held on THE AVENUE at White Marsh in October.

More than 150 new ornaments are expected to be debuted this year.

To avoid large crowds on Ornament Debut weekend, this year Hallmark is offering the same promotions and Crown Rewards bonus points over the course of nine days. The event will be held October 3–11, 2020.

Here are the many ways customers can shop this year, according to the official announcement from Hallmark:

In-Store Wish List Appointments
Schedule an appointment for a reserved table, so you can sit and have space to go through the ornaments on your wish list. We’re now taking appointments for throughout the nine-day event; just give us a call or stop by the store to set one up.

This year, a Keepsake Ornament wish list is more important than ever because we’re allowing limited quantity ornaments to be placed on wish lists (fulfilled in the order that the wish lists are turned in). The earlier you turn in your wish list, the better chance you have to get the ornaments on your list. If you haven’t previously submitted a wish list, please reach out to us at 410-931-4585, and we’ll be happy to help you start one today.

Shipping
If you’d prefer not to attend Ornament Debut this year, no problem! You can still get the same Crown Rewards bonus points. and we can ship your wish list ornaments to you. And if you’re a Crown Rewards member, shipping is free during Ornament Debut. If you’re not already a Crown Rewards member, ask us how you can become one. It’s free to join!

Curbside Services
If you’d prefer to pick up your wish list ornaments curbside, many stores are offering this service during Ornament Debut, where permitted by the shopping center. To help with crowds in the parking lot, we’ll be scheduling curbside pickup appointments. Call our store at 410-931-4585 to learn whether and when we’ll be offering this service.

Visit Us During the Event
We will be open for shoppers that want to experience Ornament Debut in person (and we can’t wait to see you!). We will be limiting the number of customers that can look at the ornament display at one time to help keep people socially distanced, so lines may be longer than normal. Again, bonus points and promotional offers last throughout the entire nine days of Ornament Debut, making a store visit on Thursday equally as exciting as Saturday, so pick the day that’s best for you.

Ornament Preview
As an additional effort to help spread out our nine-day Ornament Debut and feel more comfortable that your wish list has all the right ornaments, we’re offering a preview of our October-release designs in the store’s ornament display, beginning on Sept. 28. We invite you to look at our expanded 2020 Ornament lineup and make any changes to your wish list throughout the days leading up to Ornament Debut. Ornaments will not be available for purchase until Oct. 3.
