Unleashing the Dinos: The New Jurassic World Explorer PEZ Series Is Here!

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, 
and Brachiosaurus 
from the brand-new Jurassic World Explorers series 
directly from the PEZ International online shop.
 Jurassic World Explorers is an animated 
series for preschoolers, inspired by the
 beloved Jurassic World movie franchise.
  Just like the newly redesigned Barbie PEZ dispensers
 released earlier this year,(here more)
this new Jurassic World Explorers PEZ assortment is 
(for now, never say never!) 
available exclusively for the European market.
 
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.
Happy Collecting!

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.
Happy Collecting!

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:

For several years now, this season has meant 
one thing, an avalanche of amazing

he officially becomes part of the 
growing PEZ Playcode Collection.

the new shiny bronze Nutcracker.

Two Hello Kitty Holiday Variations Found 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 
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!
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!
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!

Gearing Up for 2026: Fresh Licenses, New Designs, Same PEZ Magic! A Sneak Peek for PEZ Collectors...

As we race full throttle toward the end of the year, 
eagerly awaiting the final Online Exclusive 
PEZ dispensers, we can’t help but look back
 with excitement and gratitude at what a fantastic
 year it’s been for PEZ collectors
 
From amazing new licenses to beautifully
 designed dispensers, 2025 has truly 
delivered plenty of reasons for our collector
 hearts to beat faster!
 
Behind the scenes, the PEZ magic never sleeps! 
While we’re still unwrapping and admiring
 this year’s releases, the creative minds in 
are already buzzing with ideas for the 2026 lineup.
 
 From securing new licenses to perfecting
 every tiny detail of a dispenser, 
the whole process takes about a year, 
so the teams on both sides of the Atlantic
 have been busy cooking up next year’s surprises
 for quite a while now. 
We can almost hear the clinking of candy
 bricks and the hum of PEZ creativity in the air! 
Of course, the official announcements will 
be made once the  
PEZ International Product & Export Catalog is released, 
and most details are still tightly under wraps.
 But… a few little hints have already made 
their way out into the world.
 
We did some digging for you, and in this post, 
we’re excited to share a sneak peek at what PEZ
 might have in store for 2026!
 Please keep in mind that these are early plans
and things may still change before the final 
lineup is revealed. 
 

PEZ Treats Are Back on the Menu!

When PEZ Candy USA launched the PEZ Treats 
series back in January 2021, featuring the now-iconic 
Pizza, Taco, and Burger dispensers, 
we collectors were instantly hooked. 
It was something fresh, quirky, and just downright fun.
 
Over the years, our PEZ Treats collections 
have grown nicely, with plenty of exciting additions, 
from regular releases to Online Exclusives
  and Expo specials
  And now, it’s time to make a little more 
room on those display stands, because
 two brand-new Treats dispensers 
are on their way this coming January!
 
First shown earlier this year at the  
Sweets & Snacks Expo, PEZ will serve up 
a new slice of pizza and a delightfully sweet donut.
 
Now, we’ll admit, these might not have been
 the Treats we were dreaming of 
(there are so many fun ideas still waiting to happen!)
But let’s be honest, we’ll all be sprinting to add
 these to our collections the moment they drop!
 
 get Ready, Collectors! 
When PEZ showed off a massive Bluey-themed display 
 at the Sweets and Snacks Expo in May, it 
was the ultimate tease, confirming that 
Bluey PEZ dispensers are officially on the way! 
The news spread fast through the collector community, 
and ever since, Bluey has been high 
on everyone’s PEZ radar.
 
So far, there’s still no sign of the actual dispensers,
 no photos, no leaks, just whispers and wishful thinking, 
but the wait is almost over.
 We’ll be seeing them soon, and if the excitement 
is anything to go by, these will be instant must-haves for 2026!
 
For anyone new to the craze, Bluey is a beloved 
Australian animated series about an energetic
 Blue Heeler pup named Bluey and her
 little sister Bingo. It’s charming, 
funny, and full of heart, the perfect vibe for PEZ to
 capture in dispenser form.
 
PEZ has big plans for 2026, a completely new Bluey lineup 
is on the way, and it’s set to keep us 
collecting all year long. 
Get your displays ready, because when 
Bluey and Bingo finally land, you know 
it’s going to be a full-on PEZ chase!
 
From Japan to the world, Hello Kitty has captured
 hearts everywhere, and in the world of PEZ, 
she’s long since taken the throne. 
She’s more than just another license; she’s a true icon, 
one that’s become inseparable from the PEZ story itself.
 
 This year alone, we’ve found ourselves 
rearranging and squeezing our Hello Kitty displays
 more times than we can count, and for good reason!
 
With 11 brand-new dispensers 
released in 2025, it’s been the biggest 
Hello Kitty PEZ year ever
Talk about a collector’s dream 
(and a shelf-space nightmare)
 
And of course, it wouldn’t be PEZ without 
another adorable Hello Kitty surprise 
coming our way. 
For 2026, PEZ is keeping the tradition alive 
with an all-new Hello Kitty lineup , 
this time themed around strawberries! 🍓
 
The new collection will feature a  
cute strawberry stem print design for Hello Kitty
adding a fresh twist to everyone’s favorite feline.
 That means our Hello Kitty collections are about 
to grow again, so go ahead and make some room now…
 because when it comes to Hello Kitty PEZ, 
there’s always space for one more!
 
Buckle Up! Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Are 
Rolling Into the PEZ World!
 
Now here’s something we’re really excited about, 
an entirely new PEZ lineup is on the horizon! 
 
Monster truck fans, this one’s for you:  
PEZ has teamed up with Mattel to 
bring the legendary Hot Wheels Monster Trucks 
 to life as PEZ dispensers in 2026!
 
For those who aren’t familiar, 
the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks are the
 larger-than-life cousins of the classic Hot Wheels cars, 
bold, colorful, and built to crush anything in their path.
 They’ve become a huge hit with collectors and 
kids alike, known for their wild designs and 
over-the-top personalities.

And now, they’re getting the PEZ treatment! 🚀

We can hardly wait to share the first 
images of the
 three brand-new Monster Truck PEZ dispensers 
 with you. If the early buzz is anything to go by,
 these are going to be absolute show-stoppers, 
  and definite must-haves for 2026!
 
Bananas on the Horizon: 
Minions 
Return to the Big Screen, and to Our PEZ Shelves!
July is about to go yellow again. 
Bananas will claim the top spot in the food pyramid,
 and tiny blue overalls will become the 
height of summer fashion. 
Yes indeed, everyone’s favorite chaotic
 little troublemakers are returning to 
theaters on July 1, 2026!

A movie that big calls for matching PEZ magic. 

Of course PEZ has secured the Minions license
 once more, because a cinema blockbuster
 without PEZ dispensers would be like a Minion
 without mischief. 
This time, the lineup is getting a stylish upgrade. 
Two classic characters will show off fresh new prints,
 and even better, we get to welcome an all-new 
Minion character into our collections.
 
Collectors, consider this your heads-up to start
 fluffing up some space on your PEZ shelves. 
Let your current Minions shuffle a bit closer together, 
whisper some secret banana plans, 
and prepare to greet the new recruit.
 
Summer 2026 may still feel a little far away, 
though the anticipation is already delicious. 
The countdown to more chaos, more giggles,
 and more PEZ has officially begun.
 
Building the Collection! 
Minecraft PEZ Continues to Expand!
Minecraft has shaped a whole generation of gamers. 
Endless worlds, endless creativity, and now,
 a growing world of collectibles. 
PEZ has embraced that spirit beautifully. 
Across the last two years, a total of 
11 Minecraft dispensers 
have joined our shelves. 
From Steve and Alex to Creepers, each new release 
has felt like discovering another important
 piece of the game come to life. 
 
The story does not stop here. 
Minecraft PEZ will continue into 2026 with 
new additions coming our way.
Details are still under wraps, though the excitement 
is already noticeable among collectors. 
Whatever PEZ has planned, it will be welcomed
 with open collector arms
 
Super Mario PEZ Continues to Grow!
There are a few icons that shaped our 
childhoods forever. 
Super Mario is definitely one of them. 
Countless hours of jumping, running,
 and saving the Mushroom Kingdom… 
and let’s be honest, a whole lot of late-night
 gaming sessions fueled by pure determination
 and maybe some snacks. 
Mario swept the world into his adventures 
faster than you can say “Here we go!” 
 
Lucky for us collectors, Mario and his friends
 have also been longtime residents in the PEZ universe. 
Over the years, they have turned our display 
shelves into mini Nintendo celebrations. 
Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad… every new character
 brings another hit of nostalgia straight to the heart. 
 
This year, PEZ already surprised us with 
revamped molds for Mario and Toad,
 giving them fresh details and that spark of modern charm.
 
A true legend gets a makeover!

Donkey Kong himself is stepping into the spotlight.

 The giant, the rival, the hero,
 the banana enthusiast. 
One of Nintendo’s earliest stars is returning 
in a completely newly designed PEZ mold.
 
We will have to be patient before the 
new Donkey Kong swings into our collections. 
Though that sense of anticipation is part of 
what makes this hobby so joyful. 
The countdown to Donkey Kong’s arrival 
has officially started! 
 
Even though we’ve already teased quite a 
few PEZ updates for 2026, believe us, 
that’s really just scratching the surface. 
PEZ still has plenty of surprises tucked away, 
and some of them are bound to be absolute 
show-stoppers that will make collectors 
everywhere sit up a little straighter.
 
Every new PEZ arrival isn’t just a candy dispenser, 
it’s a story, a memory,
 a little piece of joy that finds its place in our 
collections and collector hearts.
Happy Collecting!
