2022 Otterly Adorable (Animal)

This delightful 2022 miniature from the Hallmark Keepsake line features a whimsical otter wearing a festive scarf and Santa hat, balancing a tiny stacked seashell “Christmas tree” on his tummy. The design’s charming marine-mammal whimsy blends with holiday cheer, making it a sweet addition to tree décor or a miniature collection of animals. Created by artists Gregor Benedetti and Matt Kesler, this piece stands out with fine sculpting and a cheerful personality—even at its miniature size. The otter theme taps into the popular “cute critter” category, offering strong appeal for both Hallmark ornament hunters and animal-loving decorators.
