PEZ-tacular Previews: Sweet Surprises from the 2025 Sweets & Snacks Expo!

We’re beyond excited to finally share with

 you all the incredible PEZ highlights 

from this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo!

 In this post, we’ve rounded up the hottest new

 releases for 2025 — and yes, even a few 

sneak peeks for 2026! 🎉

PEZ has once again secured some of the

 cutest and most exciting licenses, 

and they’re winning our hearts all over 

again with an amazing lineup of new dispensers.

We’re dying to know: 

Which ones are YOU most excited about?

 

As we mentioned in our previous post,

 this year’s exclusive Expo dispenser is none

 other than the limited-edition, winking Blueberry

 PEZ Presenter Girl, and here, you’ll find everything 

you need to know about this collector’s dream!

(here)

We want to give a very special thank you 

 to our on-site reporter B for supplying 

all the fantastic photos from the show floor. 

We truly appreciate your dedication and are so 

grateful that you think of us year after year. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Now, let’s dive into the Expo atmosphere

 together and enjoy every sweet and exciting

 detail PEZ has prepared for us this year. 💥

 

Yesterday, PEZ teased us with a cryptic

 social media post: a red balloon, a single ear… 

and the words “Coming Soon.”

 

Naturally, the PEZ communities went 

wild with speculation — and the majority 

guessed it right away:  

Bluey!

It’s now official!

 PEZ has secured the 

Disney license for Bluey, 

and an entire line of Bluey PEZ dispensers 

is on the way!
There’s no escaping Bluey right now, 

they she’s absolutely 

everywhere, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Who is Bluey?

Bluey is a 6-year-old Blue Heeler puppy with an unstoppable imagination, boundless energy, and a big heart. The show, originally from Australia, has become a global sensation — and with good reason.

Bluey lives with her mum Chilli, her dad Bandit, and her adorable little sister Bingo. Each episode follows the family through everyday situations that turn into amazing adventures thanks to Bluey’s creative spirit and the family’s playful approach to parenting.

The actual dispensers are still under wraps,

 so unfortunately we can’t show them to you just yet. But considering Bluey’s massive global success, 

especially with younger kids — it’s very likely that

 PEZ International will bring this line to the European market in 2026.

 

Back in late January, we gave you the 

exciting scoop on our blog: 

Pengu the Penguin from the beloved 

Pudgy Penguins collection

would be making

 his grand debut as a PEZ dispenser this year! 

(here more)

And now — the moment we’ve all been

 waiting for has finally arrived!

PEZ has just dropped the first exclusive 

photos of the brand-new penguin dispenser

on their social media channels, and yes, 

we are absolutely in love with the new PENGU PEZ!

  We can’t wait to see him officially packaged, 

and we’re really hoping this adorable penguin 

series will continue to grow in the future. 🐧✨

Squishmallows

are ultra-soft, cuddly plush toys 

with a marshmallow-like texture, 

and that’s exactly where their name comes from!

First launched in 2017, they’ve since become

 a global pop culture phenomenon, 

capturing hearts across all ages.

Now, the excitement continues with the arrival 

of PEZ Squishmallows!
With Cam, Patty, and Junie, we’re getting 

not one but three brand-new PEZ dispensers, 

and this adorable series is just getting started!

collections for years, these four heroes 

in a half shell are making their comeback 

in true style.
Soon to be released in the USA and Europe, 

this new TMNT PEZ lineup is ready to kick 

its way straight into our hearts, 

and our collections! 🐢💥

 

We’ve already shared the first official 

images of the brand-new  

Nightmare Before Christmas 

PEZ collection with you (here more)

and the excitement hasn’t stopped since!

When the photos of Jack, Sally, Zero, 

and the matching collector’s tin were revealed, 

pure enthusiasm swept through the PEZ communities.

These are without a doubt must-have dispensers, 

a true highlight of the year and an instant 

favorite for fans and collectors alike!

Meet the Star of the Sweet and Snacks Expo Show: The Blueberry PEZ Presenter Girl!

The Wait is Over – Sweets & Snacks Expo 2025

Has Officially Opened Its Doors!

 

We’ve all been counting down the days

with eager anticipation, and now the moment is finally here!

The gates to this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo in 

Indiana have officially swung open, bringing a whirlwind 

of excitement from the world of PEZ.

Anyone who’s ever been involved in planning a trade 

show knows the immense amount of work,

time, and budget that goes into creating an event 

of this scale—and PEZ Candy Inc. 

has pulled out all the stops once again!

Months of meticulous preparation have 

gone into making sure everything is ready 

on time to showcase PEZ’s latest and greatest 

innovations—set against a dazzling 

spotlight and a uniquely themed display.

We’ve just received the first photos 

from the show floor, and let us tell you—

there are so many amazing new dispensers 

waiting to be discovered!

But before we dive into the highlights, 

we’d like to shine a light on a very special PEZ star!

 

Since 2015, starting with the iconic red PEZ Pal Boy, 

PEZ has created an exclusive, 

limited-edition dispenser just for the Expo,

 produced in a run of only 1,000 pieces each year. Initially

 handed out to booth visitors and business partners.

 

We all fondly remember last year, when for

 the first time ever, American collectors

 had the chance to purchase the  

blue Sweets & Snacks Presenter Girl online 

for $50 via a lottery-style email system. 

That effort didn’t just thrill collectors, it also raised an impressive
$12,500 for the Connecticut Humane Society. 

This year, PEZ has listened to fan requests 

and truly delivered: 

say hello to the brand-new 

Winking Blueberry PEZ Presenter Girl,

 a dream come true for collectors!

As the tenth official Sweets & Snacks Expo dispenser,

 this exclusive release comes with 

the Sweets & Snacks logo proudly 

printed on the blister card, 

and for the first time, the stem is stamped with

 “Sweets & Snacks 2025” 

Add in the matching Blueberry PEZ candies,

 and the result is a perfectly coordinated, 

color-matched masterpiece.

Now that the dispenser is out in the wild,

 the burning question is on everyone's mind: 

Will PEZ offer us another chance to get

 our hands on one through their online shop this year?

 

YES! 

We’re thrilled that PEZ has confirmed the  

Blueberry Presenter Girl will also be available for purchase, 

and even better, it’s for a good cause! 

What a fantastic way to combine collecting 

with doing something meaningful. 💙✨

 

As always, we've got you covered with a 

brand-new pictorial featuring all 

of the Sweets & Snacks Expo dispensers,

 along with an updated gallery of every 

PEZ Presenter Girl to date.

 

Stay tuned — we’re almost ready to share

 all the amazing photos from the show!

Just Released: 2025 ACE Hardware PEZ Hauler with Retro Look!

Hey PEZ Palz! 

There’s a surprise on the 

shelves at your local 

ACE Hardware, 

introducing the brand-new 

2025 ACE Hardware PEZ truck, 

also known as a trusty PEZ Hauler!

 This exciting release uses the latest truck 

mold introduced in 2023,

 featuring a sleek new cab design with no

 silver smoke stack. But what truly sets this 

hauler apart is the brand-new retro-style

 ACE Hardware sticker, featuring the 1968-1973 

ACE Hardware logo, a bold, nostalgic design

 that brings some serious throwback vibes.

Whether you're into mold variants, 

sticker designs, or just love a great truck,

 this one’s a must-have for your collection.

Can’t find it in-store? Don’t worry! 

A quick chat with a helpful ACE employee 

might do the trick—just be aware, 

you may need to purchase a shipper of 12.

So—check your local ACE. Ask questions.

 Look high and low.

The hunt is on. And with this hauler, 

the road ahead just got a little more exciting.

Happy Collecting!

From Austria with Love: Hello Kitty PEZ Exclusive Debuts at Osaka World Expo🎀

🎉 Back in late March, we gave you an 

exclusive first look at the brand-new Hello Kitty, 

Austria Composing the Future – a PEZ International 

exclusive created especially for the WKO 

Austrian Pavilion at the 

World Expo in Osaka, Japan. 

(Feel free to check out our original post here! 📲)

✨ Now, we're thrilled to announce that the

 Hello Kitty dispenser is officially available

 for purchase at the Expo! 🎊

 

As we mentioned in our first post, 

PEZ International has produced a substantial

 quantity of over 10,000+ dispensersfor this event.

 But what many of you are probably most curious

 about is the price at which it’s being sold at the Expo. 💸 

 

Here’s how it breaks down:
✈️ The biggest expense will likely be your travel

 to Osaka (especially by plane).

 
🎟️ To enter the Expo, visitors need to purchase 

a day ticket, which costs 7,500 yen (Adults) 

- approximately 52 USD.
Once inside, make your way to the Austrian Pavilion 🇦🇹 

 the only place where this 

special dispenser is being sold. 

Compared to the cost of getting there and 

the entrance fee, the dispenser itself is a 

bargain at just 1,200 yen - 9 USD🧁 

For most of us collectors, cost likely won’t

 be the deciding factor, we all want this 

unique dispenser in our collections 💖,

 and that means sharing in the effort 

(and expense) to make it happen. 🤝

We sincerely hope our friends in Japan 🇯🇵 

can help us get our hands on this special edition! 🤞

To everyone attending the Expo: 

have a fantastic time 🎏, and we’re glad you're 

also getting a chance to learn more about Austria 🇦🇹.

Happy Collecting! 🐾🎀🍬

Thank you Toshihiro for the pictrues ;)

Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas

 PEZ collection, and PEZ has already 

shared official images with the 

collector community!

Originally released in 1993,  

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 

 redefined the art of stop-motion animation. 

Though only moderately successful in theaters, 

it went on to achieve cult status through home video, 

merchandise, and annual re-releases.

 

The story follows Jack Skellington, 

the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, 

who longs for something new. When he stumbles upon

 the bright and joyful Christmas Town,

 he decides to take over the holiday, though with a rather... 

spooky interpretation of holiday cheer.

 

Now a beloved classic, the film has earned a loyal fan base

 and is celebrated by gothic enthusiasts, 

Disney fans, and pop culture lovers alike, 

watched year after year at both Halloween and Christmas.

🕸️ A Collector's Dream Come True!🕸️

PEZ fans have been dreaming of 

Nightmare Before Christmas dispensers for years, 

and the wait is finally over.

Here’s what’s coming:

 In July:

 Jack, Sally, and Zero will hit stores on classic blister cards

 Jack & Sally will also be available in a charming Twin Pack.

 

SALLY, ZERO & JACK PEZ DISPENSER

September release:

 A stunning Collector’s Gift Tin debuts, 

 featuring beautiful graphics, 

a unique shape, 

and an exclusive 

Oogie Boogie dispenser

 (yes, the mischievous green ghost himself!) 

And yes—each of the four characters in the tin 

comes with a beautifully printed stem,

 making this set an absolute must-have!

This spooky-sweet collection will launch 

exclusively in the United States, but let’s be honest, 

fans around the world will definitely 

make sure these magical dispensers 

find their way home.

We can hardly contain our excitement for 

these amazing new dispensers, so let’s make room 

on those shelves, because  

seven spectacular new 

Nightmare Before Christmas PEZ 

are on the way!

 

Thank you PEZ Candy Inc. for all the pictures!
