In addition to collecting the yearly Hallmark Keepsake Beagle Scout Snoopy ornaments that are released each year, I also collect a few Star Wars ornaments. I do not collect many of the Star Wars Keepsake ornaments due to the price of them, but I do collect the less expensive Hallmark ornaments that are found at Walmart. Imagine my surprise this year when I found not one, but two Beagle Scout Snoopy ornaments at my local Walmart!
The first one, seen above, features Snoopy in a canoe. By the smile on his face you can tell he is enjoying his leisurely ride across the lake or down the river. The colors are sharp and it is well designed. And it is larger than the Keepsake ornament yet costs less which I found interesting. This was on sale for $9.48.
The second one, seen below, features Snoopy as he repels down a mountain side. At least I think he is repelling. It is another great looking ornament that had to become a part of my collection. This one was a little more expensive at a cost at $12.98. I bought two of each ornament.
I have never seen The Beagle Scout ornaments at Walmart stores in previous years. If this has been going on for awhile I guess I am missing some that I may need to find. But I have a feeling these were released this year to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of this Beagle Scout first appearing in the iconic Peanuts comic strip, just like the new balloon during this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. Maybe, if these sell well, we will continue to see new Beagle Scout ornaments each year.
Have you seen these two decorations in your local Walmart? Did you buy them for your tree, or do you need to run out to find them? I did notice them for sale on the Walmart website also, if you do not have a store near you.
