Ring in the new year on your tree with the 2026 Santa Ornament from Old World Christmas. A bold, glittered “2026” in classic Christmas red sits against a richly glittered green ground, with Santa’s cheerful face — rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and a soft white beard — nestled right at the center. A scalloped edge and gold cap give it that timeless, collectible look.
Dated ornaments have a way of becoming the pieces you pause on years later, remembering who was there and what that season felt like. Whether you’re starting a new tradition or adding to a growing collection of annual keepsakes, this is an easy one to love — festive without being fussy, and simple to spot on the tree year after year.
Like every Old World Christmas ornament, the 2026 Santa is mouth-blown into a finely carved mold, then hand-painted and hand-glittered using techniques passed down for generations. It arrives in the signature Old World Christmas keepsake gift box, ready to give or to store safely between seasons.

Every Christmas Eve, NORAD, the joint U.S.-Canadian military command built to watch the skies for threats, spends the night tracking Santa's sleigh instead. As the story is told, the tradition started by accident in 1955, when a misprinted phone number in a Sears ad sent children's calls straight to a secret military hotline. Colonel Harry Shoup answered, decided to play along, and a Cold War defense post became one of the most beloved Christmas traditions in the world.
