Topps Is Bringing Mars Attacks to Christmas with Celebrity Autos and Inserts

Topps announced 2026 Mars Attacks Christmas, a trading card product built around the iconic Mars Attacks IP with a holiday twist. The release features celebrity autographs and insert cards, comes in hobby box format, and is sold in sealed 20-box cases. A full checklist, box configuration details, and pack odds have been published ahead of the October 6 release.

Mars Attacks has always been a cult property in the hobby, and a celebrity-auto-driven Christmas set is exactly the kind of oddball, high-personality release that punches above its weight at the box level. Hobby-only distribution in sealed 20-box cases keeps supply controlled, and the checklist is already out, so collectors can identify the autos they want before boxes hit the market. This is also worth watching alongside the simultaneously announced 2026 Topps Vault Marvel, which suggests Topps is leaning hard into non-sports collector territory heading into Q4.
