If there's a better way to celebrate the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year than with special Star Trek-themed nutcrackers, then I'd like to see it. Click through to see more.

There's something to be said for the unusual mix of traditional - these are, surprisingly, hand-painted, wooden nutcrackers, and at the time of year where the world likes nutcrackers so much they perform ballets about them - and retro sci-fi cheese that these sadly decorative-only festive treats offer. And, at $34.95, they're a surprisingly affordable potential holiday treat. Buy both and create your very own seasonal version of "Amok Time."
