2009 I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas (I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas)

This fun “Magic”-series ornament from Hallmark brings a whimsical nod to the holiday classic: a cheerful hippo turns up under the tree with a press-button sound module playing the tune “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” (performed by Gayla Peevey). The design combines resin and plastic in a compact size (≈3″ wide) and includes festive color detailing and a playful pose. Its licensed novelty theme and sound feature make it especially appealing to collectors of character and music-ornaments.
