You Can Purchase A Hallmark Christmas Decoration Of The Electrical Ram 1500 REV That Was Canceled Earlier than It Ever Went On Sale

Just lately in certainly one of my numerous automotive fanatic group chats a buddy despatched a photograph of varied Hallmark Christmas ornaments on a retailer shelf, highlighting a number of the cool automotive choices like a first-gen Ford F-150 SVT Lightning, a Mustang GTD, and a Nissan R34 GT-R, amongst different much less attention-grabbing vehicular ornaments. However there was one particularly that basically caught my eye: As a part of its flagship Memento line, Hallmark will promote you an decoration of the 2026 Ram 1500 REV electrical pickup truck. That appears progressive and funky, proper? Perhaps your dad has an electrical truck and loves adorning the tree.

Downside is, not solely has the Ram 1500 REV not gone on sale but, it will not ever. Ram canceled the absolutely electrical truck again in September, saying that its identify can be used on what till then had been generally known as the Ramchargerthe model’s range-extender hybrid pickup. However the decoration is clearly the electrical REV, not the hybrid one (that also hasn’t gone on sale but itself).

The electrical REV has a singular face with totally different headlights, no grille and a large frunk opening, plus aero-optimized wheels. The rear finish is admittedly the identical because the range-extender REV, however we additionally know this decoration is the EV as a result of Hallmark says so. Says Hallmark within the merchandise’s description:

Powered to work arduous with trendy, high-tech aptitude, the all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup truck zooms onto the tree. Good to your favourite pickup truck fan, this Christmas tree decoration incorporates a good-looking blue design of the smooth 2026 mannequin in die-cast steel with wheels that flip and year-dated license plates.

I do not actually perceive why the entrance license plate says 2026 however the rear license plate says 2025. Is it a New Yr’s factor? Hallmark would not say. However the decoration is 4 and a half inches lengthy, two inches huge and an inch and a half tall. Ram would not have any precise photographs of the factor, however the humorous photoshopped one above makes that appear fairly small to me. At $29.99, I suppose it is not a foul worth for a die-cast that’ll grasp out of your tree? I am a non-practicing Jew so I’ve obtained no thought what a kinda-fancy Christmas decoration “ought to” price. Ram additionally sells the decoration by itself web sitefor $29.95.

There are solely three critiques of the decoration on Hallmark’s web site. The primary is from “Sharon,” who apparently purchased it for her grandson on October 27. Her overview reads “Just lately obtained a brand new truck. I am positive he’ll love the decoration.” 5 stars. On December 6, Kathy mentioned “nice decoration for my godchild who loves vehicles.” 5 stars. Most not too long ago, on December 8, Matt mentioned “I actually like this merchandise, as I’ve began gathering any attention-grabbing ornaments from the Hallmark shops. I’m glad to see so many nice licenses with the ornaments.” 4 stars.

I can not think about that is an decoration that Hallmark will purchase any extra inventory of, so this might develop into an actual collector’s merchandise sooner or later. Most likely not. However possibly. When do you suppose Hallmark and Ram finalized this partnership? Does anybody at Hallmark even know the electrical Ram REV obtained canceled? The EV was canceled outright in September, however in January Ram introduced it was canceling the long-range mannequin. (Additionally, in April Ram obtained right into a authorized battle with suppliers as a result of it canceled an electrical heavy-duty truck.) In December 2024 Ram mentioned the electrical REV was delayed because the range-extender Ramcharger was being pushed ahead to 2025, however now that truck (now known as REV) can be accessible in some unspecified time in the future in 2026. When Ram first revealed the electrical REV in 2023it mentioned it could go on sale on the finish of 2024.

If the thought of an automotive Hallmark Memento decoration pursuits you, however you need certainly one of a automotive that truly exists, they have you coated. Amongst the 28 totally different “transportation” ornaments there’s a 1969 Dodge Tremendous Bee, a 1968 Chevrolet fireplace engine, a “Bumblebee” Camaro, a Nissan 370Z Nismo, a Ram Heavy Obligation from “Yellowstone,” and numerous tractors, trains and development autos, plus a bunch of random slightly-transportation-related stuff.
