OUT NOW! The Wait Is Finally Over! Say Hello to the Pengu Penguin PEZ Dispenser!

 The discussions and planning for this special
 collaboration actually began last year.

Then, in January of this year, the creators of 
Pudgy Penguins 

made it official with a 
press release announcing that a 
Pengu Penguin PEZ dispenser was on the way.

Then came the big reveal at the 
Sweets and Snacks Expo,  our very first look 
at the mold for the new dispenser! 
From that moment on, the excitement just exploded. 

With sneak peeks, teaser photos, 
and plenty of chatter online, collectors 
everywhere have been counting down the days 
until we could finally add this frosty 

little friend to our shelves.

And now… the wait is over!

Just in time for the cozy winter season, 

the Pengu Penguin PEZ dispenser 

officially waddled into the store today.! 

(USA only)

 As announced on Pudgy Penguins’ official 

social media channels, 

this adorable new blue PEZ penguin is available 

at the It’s Sugar pop-up store during 

Miami Art Week (December 1–7, 2025). 

 PEZ Candy Inc. didn’t hold back with the packaging, either, 
the custom blister card looks fantastic, 
perfectly framing the adorable blue penguin.

 Plus, each blister card hides a fun little surprise!

Whether you’re a longtime PEZ collector or new
 to the hobby thanks to the Pudgy Penguins craze, 
this one’s a must-have.

  Stay tuned, as soon as we learn more, 

you’ll be the very first to hear it from us. 

This chilly little guy is 

bound to slide off the shelves fast.

PEZ Collectors Go Wild: The New PEZ Alien Is Here!

The moment PEZ International showcased 

the new Mars Mission Alien in their 

marketing catalog earlier this year, 

we all totally lost it!

 Everyone, truly everyone across the PEZ communities, 

fell for this little extraterrestrial instantly. 

It was love at first sight.

And now the wait is finally over! 

The new Alien has officially landed in 

the PEZ International online shop. (here)

European PEZ collectors get a tiny head start this time,

 just as we mentioned earlier on our blog. 
But our American PEZ collector friends won’t be left out, 
 the Alien will also be available as an 
online exclusive at PEZ Candy in the US.

New Alien from the Mars Mission PEZ assortment!

How awesome is that? 

Another fantastic dispenser from this year’s lineup
 is about to beam its way into our collections.
Let the excitement begin!

After giving you an exclusive first look at the brand-new

 Jurassic World Explorer 

PEZ dinos back in July, we’re thrilled to

 share that the wait is finally over!

Starting now, you can order the 

Triceratops, T-Rex,

 released earlier this year,(here more)

this new Jurassic World Explorers PEZ assortment is

Our American PEZ collector friends will want

 to secure their sets through European 

PEZ buddies or their trusted PEZ sellers.

All in all, it’s another fantastic new PEZ

 lineup to add to our collections, 

and now we’re just waiting for the new Alien

 from the Space Mission series to land. 

We’re expecting it to arrive sometime in December.

 

Of course, we’ve also put together a

 Dino PEZ pictorial for you, featuring 

all the roaring and stomping dinos that 

have made their way into our collections so far.

Clear Some Space! New PEZ Treats Are Joining the Family!

 When PEZ Candy USA kicked off the 

PEZ Treats series back in January 2021. 

serving up the now-iconic 

Pizza, Taco, and Burger dispensers, 

we collectors were hooked faster than you can say 

“pass the candy!”

 

It was fresh, fun, and full of excitement, 

it was everything we didn’t know we needed.

  Since then, our Treats collections have exploded 

in the best way possible. 

Regular releases, Online Exclusives, Expo specials, 

you name it, we’ve hunted it down. 

With all the molds, variations, and sweet little surprises,

 we’ve proudly stacked 20 Treats dispensers into 

our displays so far.

 And yes… they look amazing!

But hold onto your shelves, because things are 
about to get even sweeter.
Two brand-new Treats dispensers are heading 
our way this January! (USA only)

PEZ first teased them at the Sweets & Snacks Expo, 
and let’s just say they caused quite a stir: 
a new slice of pizza and an new cute donut

 are joining the lineup.

Now, we’ll be honest—these might not have been 

the Treats at the top of our wish list

(our dream concepts list is long, trust us!)

but come on… the moment these hit the shelves, 

every one of us will be sprinting to snag them. 

Because that’s what we do. 

And because PEZ Treats magic is real.

Of course, because how could we not? We’ve put together

 a brand-new pictorial for you, featuring both of the 

upcoming January releases in all their Treats glory.

Now available! Europe, Meet Your New Bronze PEZ Nutcracker!

After PEZ Candy USA surprised our

American collectors with the 

brand-new Bronze Nutcracker yesterday,

Europe’s PEZ fans can now get excited too, 

the wait is over! 

Now available in Europe too, the new Bronze PEZ Nutkracker.

The shiny Bronze Nutcracker has officially

 marched into the PEZ International online 

shop and is ready to join your collection.

PEZ International and PEZ Candy USA 

chose different blister card designs, 

but the new Nutcracker still steals the spotlight on both.

Left: USA vs Right: European PEZ Blistercard

Following the Bronze Snowman released 

in 2023, this Nutcracker becomes

 the second-ever PEZ dispenser to receive 

the magical bronze treatment.

And who knows? 

Maybe the Bronze Series will keep growing… 

we certainly wouldn’t mind a few more festive 

surprises under the PEZ Christmas tree!

Grab your gleaming Nutcracker, before he dances away.

From Wish to Reality: The Limited Bronze PEZ Nutcracker Joins the PEZ Collection

Here we go PEZ PALZ!

The next-to-last Online Exclusive dispenser of the, 

 year has just dropped! 

 

And as promised in our last update, 

PEZ delivers another festive Christmas release.

 The PEZ Nutcracker 

has always held a 

solid spot in our personal Top 3 

Christmas dispensers.

 

Collectors have long hoped PEZ would give

 the classic Nutcracker a new, 

high-end makeover, and now that wish 

has finally come true in the best possible way.

 

Today, we’re getting the Nutcracker in a brand-new look!

No, not gold,  

(we already have the golden Santa from this

 year’s European Advent Calendar, 

and possibly the New Year’s Presenter Girl coming too). 

 

Instead, PEZ came up with something 

equally brilliant for the Nutcracker.

 

Following the gorgeous Bronze PEZ Snowman from 2023, 

the Nutcracker now joins the lineup in 

a limited, Online-Only Bronze edition!

 The blister cards are beautifully designed,

 putting the Nutcracker front and center,

 and the red stem adds the perfect festive touch.

 We also know that the U.S. and European versions 

are identical except for the blister card 

artwork and, of course, the candy assortments.

 Finally, our Snowman no longer has to stand alone in 

bronze glory on our collector shelves!

 With the Nutcracker, the last Christmas dispenser 

of 2025 has officially dropped, 

and naturally, we’ve already updated our

2025 PEZ Christmas Pictorial. 

 

The Christmas sleigh is loaded with PEZ, 

and the reindeer are already racing toward

 the final Online Exclusive of the year. 

You know the one, the annual  

New Year’s dispenser, 

now a beloved tradition and the grand finale of every PEZ year.

But enough talking, let’s get you to the star of the moment.

Here you can grab the stunning 

Bronze Nutcracker for your collection:

he officially becomes part of the 

growing PEZ Playcode Collection.

Two Hello Kitty Holiday Variations Found at Walmart!

Hello Kitty Holiday Variations at Walmart!

Keep an eye out for two different

versions of the Hello Kitty PEZ available at 

Walmart this holiday season! 

One has oval eyes, and the other has round eyes. 

The bows are slightly different in color, but

 the real giveaway is in the whiskers,  

one version features wispy whiskers, 

while the other has thicker ones.

They should be relatively easy to find if 

you’re persistent. I had to visit four different 

Walmarts in the Salem–Woodburn area of Oregon 

before finding both, so don’t give up — keep hunting!

A big thank you to Bill F. for spotting this variation 

first and sharing it on Facebook. 

At first glance, they look 

identical, but look closer, you’ll notice thicker whiskers, 

rounder vs oval eyes, and brighter green colors, 

all displayed together in one box.

We love little surprises like this, thank you, 

PEZ, for keeping collecting so fun! ❤️

Happy Collecting!

USA Collectors! It’s Your Turn! The Christmas PEZ Sweater Has Arrived!

 It’s finally time for our American PEZ collectors!

The Christmas Ugly online exclusive 

PEZ dispenser is now available for you to order!

(here)

Although, let’s be honest, calling it “Ugly” 
doesn’t really fit here. 
With the PEZ Christmas Sweater design, 
PEZ has once again pulled a completely fresh
 and fun new style out of the hat for us.

Just like with PEZ International, 
PEZ Candy USA is releasing the new 
Christmas Sweater dispenser on the same 
blister card design as last year.

Of course, we’ve added all the pictures 
and pictorials you need to our post.

Happy Collecting!

Hello Kitty Fans, Rejoice! A First Look at the 2026 PEZ Hello Kitty Collection! Plus 2025–2026 Pictorial Overview...

Exciting News for Hello Kitty PEZ Collectors, 

a First Look at the 2026 Lineup!

As we already teased in our post (here), 
PEZ fans have something adorable to look 
forward to in 2026,  a brand-new Hello Kitty and Friends
assortment is on the way!

This year has shown some interesting release 
timing differences between the 
European and American PEZ markets, 
so we’ve put together a quick overview to 
help you keep everything straight.

A Sneak Peek at the 2026 
Hello Kitty and Friends Collection!

First up, the new 
Strawberry HELLO KITTY!
Dressed in her classic red look, 
this version features cute printed strawberries 

on the stem, and yes, the Hello Kitty logo is there too. 
This dispenser will be available both in the
 U.S. and Europe in 2026.

CINNAMORILL,

who first appeared this year in the special 

Hello Kitty Tin edition with printed clouds 

on the stem in the U.S. 

For 2026, Cinnamoroll returns, this time without 

the stem print, and will be released on 

both sides of the Atlantic as well.

MY MELODY

PEZ Candy USA is already off to a fast 

start with the brand-new My Melody dispenser

in soft pink with a light blue bow, now available 

online for U.S. collectors!

(available here) 

Unfortunately, European fans will have to wait until next

 year to add her to their shelves.

Our familiar friend Kuromi made her U.S. debut

 earlier this year, and she’ll finally be 

arriving in European stores in 2026.

So… how many Hello Kitty and Friends 

dispensers are there now for this year and for 2026?

If you’ve lost count, you’re not alone!

Including the two exclusive Walmart holiday versions, 
there will be a whopping 15 different 
Hello Kitty and Friends dispensers released 
between this year and next.
 That’s definitely a record!

With all these releases, PEZ has truly celebrated 

two big anniversaries in style: 

50 years of Hello Kitty (2024) and 

50 years of My Melody (2025) 

and we think the Hello Kitty universe has 

never looked brighter.

To help you keep track and showcase your collection, 
we’ve created a pictorial overview featuring
 this year’s and next year’s Hello Kitty dispensers.

So, gather your Hello Kittys together, 
and be sure to leave a little room, 
we can’t wait to add the 2026 designs to our shelves.

Happy Collecting!
