About Old World Christmas

For more than 45 years, Old World Christmas has been creating beautifully handcrafted blown-glass ornaments that help families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Since 1979, they’ve become an industry leader with one of the world’s largest collections of finely crafted ornaments, offering designs for every hobby, milestone, tradition, and special memory.

Each ornament is created using traditional techniques that date back to the 1800s. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas before a hot liquid silver solution is added to create exceptional depth and vibrancy. Every ornament is then carefully hand-painted and hand-glittered through a series of detailed, labor-intensive steps, making each piece a true work of art.

Old World Christmas is dedicated to preserving the tradition of heirloom-quality ornaments while offering outstanding craftsmanship, beautiful designs, and exceptional value. Whether you’re commemorating a milestone, celebrating a favorite hobby, or finding the perfect gift, their incredible collection has an ornament that’s sure to become a treasured part of your family’s Christmas traditions for years to come.

As someone who has collected Old World Christmas ornaments over the years, I can honestly say they’re some of my favorite decorations to unpack each season. Every ornament brings back memories, and I love hanging them on our tree year after year. They’ve become part of our family’s Christmas story, and I know many of them will be treasured for generations to come.

Here’s me with one of my most cherished Old World Christmas ornaments – my bride ornament that my mom gifted me for my engagement to my amazing husband 19 years ago! It was the first engagement present I received (I was engaged in early December). 

You can visit Old World Christmas here where you can find a special ornament or gift that you’ll love for years to come.
