1996 Bashful Mistletoe (Merry Miniatures)

The 1996 “Bashful Mistletoe” from the Hallmark Merry Miniatures line is a charming three-piece miniature set featuring a shy boy and girl meeting underneath mistletoe with an arch piece framing the scene. Sculpted by Nina Aube, the figurines are finely detailed in seasonal attire and soft colours, capturing a sweet “first meeting” moment during the holidays. As part of the miniature collection, it offers delicate scale and display versatility—perfect for mantel vignettes, collector shelves or a themed holiday tree. Because it was issued in 1996 and is the Merry Miniatures format (rather than full-size Keepsake ornament), it holds appeal for niche collectors and those building out a “mini Christmas figurine” collection.
