2000 Kris "Cross-Country" Kringle (Santa Claus)

This 2000-dated ornament from the Hallmark Keepsake collection features Santa Claus (alias “Kris Kringle”) in a cheerful cross-country skiing pose—complete with skis, poles, and a winter coat trimmed in holiday colors. The hand-painted sculpt emphasizes motion and seasonal fun, making it a playful addition to any tree or display. With its sporty theme and classic Santa imagery, this piece stands out for collectors who enjoy action-style ornaments, skiing motifs, or the turn-of-the‐millennium Keepsake era.
