Just in time for the holiday season, Pullen Park is rolling out its annual bout of cheer with the release of its highly anticipated limited edition ornaments. This year’s collection features a 2024 Holiday Horse, understated yet festive, sporting a tan hue, a dark brown mane, and is decked out in a saddle that screams holiday spirit without the usual garish glitter. But, for those who pine for the classics, the familiar Pullen Park train ornament is back on the tracks and available for purchase. Fans of this Raleigh tradition can also snag some re-releases from prior years, while supplies last, of course.
These holiday keepsakes are not merely churned out from a massive, impersonal factory assembly line. Oh no, they are the brainchildren of local North Carolinian craft, precisely created by the Charleston Mint in Brevard, NC. Collectors better move quick; a mere 400 of these historic carousel horse ornaments have been made this year. And given their reputation, they’re likely to disappear faster than Santa up a sooty chimney. Find them available at the Pullen Park Welcome Center until December 1, retailing at $15 each—a small price to pay for what may become a cherished family heirloom.
According to an announcement made by the City of Raleigh, these ornaments are not only a decorative flourish for your balsam or fir but are also instilled with a dash of local pride, “created in North Carolina.” For those looking to wrap their hands around these ornaments in person, Pullen Park Welcome Center, located at 520 Ashe Ave., is your go-to destination. The welcome center doors will be open to holiday enthusiasts daily from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to make your purchase but only if you act fast.
