Christmas just arrived extra early for fans of Hallmark heartthrob Tyler Hynes. On October 7, 2025, the actor surprised his fandom — lovingly known as Hynies — with the news that his team has not only brought back his highly coveted Hynies bracelet for the holidays, but that they’ve designed a darling new candy cane charm.
The candy cane holds special significance for diehard Hynies, who know that Hynes’ character in the “Three Wise Men” trilogy frequently has a candy cane hanging out of his mouth in multiple scenes — a nod to the trademark toothpick Hynes often has between his lips in real life. The merch surprise and the new photos of himself subtly wearing the candy cane charm have Hynies over the moon.
Tyler Hynes Shares His Gratitude for Fans & Team
The Hynies bracelet was first introduced in October 2024, with the word “Hynies” in script and a magnet heart charm that splits in half, made so that it can magically “connect” to the Hynies bracelets worn by other fans. In February, Hynes released a separate Fur Baby gold charm that resembles his beloved pup Rusty. The bracelets and charms sold out, but have now been brought back as part of Hynes’ surprise merch drop for the 2025 holidays.
In the comment section of his October 7 social media post, with Frank Sinatra’s “I’ll Be Seeing You” playing in the background, Hynes featured photos and videos highlighting the bracelets, plus some smouldering new shots of himself by friend and photographer Joshua Shultz.
In the comment section of his post, “The Groomsmen” star wrote a thank you to the team working behind the scenes, noting, “Doing these aren’t easy, very grateful to everyone who works so hard to make these as lovely as an experience as they should,” he wrote. “From the items themselves, to the packaging, to delivery and presentation, I’ll say again, this ain’t easy. It’s just a few of us. But you’ve been heard, we see the joy and fun this brings and that will forever be worthwhile.”
Hynes added, “We’ve done our very best, hope these brighten your days. 🤍🙏🏻✨💫💛🐺🍭🎄I’ll be seeing you. 😍”
