"Cheers to PEZ International: A Rare Christmas Treat for European Collectors!" Limited 2025 Calendar.

A big round of applause goes to the 
PEZ Marketing Department at PEZ International
 (Europe)
 for coming up with something truly 
special for European PEZ collectors.
For the first 200 orders of the Ugly Christmas PEZ Sweaters,
 PEZ International included a free 2025 PEZ calendar. 
 
Since this calendar is not available for purchase,
 making it a rare and unique collector's item, 
it will undoubtedly become highly sought-after
 in collector communities and is likely to increase in value.
 
With this post, we would also like to express our 
heartfelt thanks to PEZ on behalf
 of all European PEZ collectors. 
You’ve truly prepared a wonderful Christmas gift for us!
 
To give you a look at the entire calendar, 
we’re happy to share all the images with you.
Happy Collecting!

 on their way into the hands of collectors.
 
200 happy faces and posts await us in the 
PEZ communities over the next few days, 
and we’re very excited about it!

 to order this fantastic dispenser the best
 of luck in finding one of the 200 special

One thing is certain: 
PEZ surely has more surprises in
 store for us in 2025!

SORRY SOLD OUT! USA Collectors! Hurry Up, It’s Your Turn! New Year golden PEZ Boy now available...

UPDATE: SORRY SOLD OUT!!!!
 
While European PEZ collectors are 
currently receiving their packages with
 the new golden  
New Year PEZ Pal Boy 
and eagerly hoping to find the black-and-gold

it’s now time for our American PEZ collectors
 to join the fun! (Limit two per Household)


  Now it’s your turn—but hurry!

at lightning speed, with a major rush anticipated.

slightly different from the European version,

The only constant is the coveted “1 of 200” sticker, 
which is the same for both
 American and European collectors.
Act fast—it’s worth it!

NEW YEAR GOLDEN PEZ BOY! Smooth start for European Collectors & Update about the USA release...

When the brand-new golden-white 
New Year PEZ PAL Boy dispenser
 launched online at PEZ International
 yesterday at exactly 2:00 PM, 
the website neither crashed nor experienced 
any noticeable delays or interruptions. 
A big compliment to PEZ for that! :)

Without much stress, eager collectors placed
 their online orders, with the maximum 
purchase limit set at five pieces.
 
It’s almost hard to believe, but yes, 
the dispenser is still available at the 
PEZ International Online shop. (here)

This is likely due to the fact that there’s 
no shipping to Australia, Israel, Japan, 
or the UK—regions 
where many of our collector friends are based.
 
Things will likely look quite different 
for our friends in the USA. 
As seen in previous months and years, 
the dispenser will probably sell 
out at lightning speed. 
 
While some collectors are already refreshing
 the page every minute, we want to share 
a small official update on the dispenser's release date.
 
For now, you can sit back and relax!
 

In their social media posts, 
PEZ International officially announced 
that the dispenser will be available 
NEXT WEEK
for our American collector friends. 
Since new dispensers have traditionally 
launched on Mondays at PEZ Candy Inc.
 in the past, the upcoming Monday is widely speculated
 as the release date.
 
One thing is certain: 
we are all keeping our fingers crossed! 
On the one hand, for European collectors hoping
 to find the black/gold New Year dispenser 
included in their boxes, and on the other, 
for American collectors eagerly awaiting 
the chance to add this fantastic 
dispenser to their collections.
 
If you haven’t seen our first post about
 the two NEW YEAR PEZ dispensers yet,
 you can find all the important information here.
 
The curiosity and excitement are through the roof!
Happy Collecting!

Chasing the New Year: The Epic Return of Pal Boy in 2025! Happy New Year!

Who could have imagined that just one 
year after PEZ wowed us with the
  Limited Crystal PEZ Rocket for New Year’s, 
we’d be looking at over 20 Online-Only
 Exclusive dispensers?
We’ve already announced this year’s 
New Year dispenser in a previous post,
 but PEZ had one more surprise up their sleeve.
 Revealed today by PEZ International,
 it left even us stunned—and we can’t wait 
to share all the details with you!
First and foremost—how exciting is it that
 PEZ has brought back the beloved Pal Boy?
 Missing from the lineup for nearly a year and a half,
 this iconic dispenser returns in two incredible versions: 
a Limited Standard Edition in white and gold
 and a Super Limited Chase Edition in black and gold.
Ready for the excitement? 
Take a deep breath!
 
For all the collectors,
 the action starts tomorrow at 2 PM in Europe,
 and we’re crossing our fingers that the 
online shop can handle the rush. 
Here’s the breakdown:
  • Standard Version (white and gold): 1925 pieces per region!
  • Chase Version (black and gold): Only 100 pieces per region!

Combined, the total—2025 dispensers for USA 
and 2025 for Europe, 
ties into the year 2025, 
which explains the “200 Worldwide” sticker 
on the Chase Version.

European collectors will have the first chance
 to snag these gems, as PEZ International 
begins sales tomorrow. 
Meanwhile, American collectors can sit back
 and watch the frenzy unfold—for now. 
Since PEZ International wraps up their year earlier, 
the dispensers will be available there first.
 
In the U.S., PEZ Candy USA only just released 
the Ugly Sweater dispenser yesterday,
 so the New Year dispenser probably won’t 
hit their online store just yet.
 
The American PEZ blister card will be similar 
with slight differences, but American PEZ collectors
 will also find the 200-piece sticker on the Chase version. 
The only difference will once again be the PEZ candies
(assorted fruit rolls for USA)
 
Now, let’s talk strategy!
Here’s what we know:
  • There will almost certainly be a purchase limit,
  •  likely five dispensers (Europe) per person.(different number for the USA)
  • Orders might include a mix of Standard and Chase versions (e.g., four Standard and one Chase).
  • The real twist? 
  • You probably won’t know if you scored 
  • a Chase until you open your box!

One thing is certain—these dispensers will sell out fast!

To all European collectors: 
We wish you the best of luck and steady nerves tomorrow! 
We hope you secure your dispensers, 
and perhaps even find a Chase PEZ waiting for you.

To our American collectors: 

Your turn for ordering stress and nail-biting suspense is coming soon enough. Until then, enjoy the calm before the storm.

 It all kicks off here tomorrow at 2 PM! (Europe)

This is so thrilling!
🎉🎉🎉Happy Collecting and good luck! 🎉🎉🎉

 

FIRST LOOK! The new 2025 PEZ BARBIE assortment, Revamped Barbies, and a new KEN PEZ dispenser!

BARBIE
(full name: Barbara Millicent Roberts) is one of 
the most iconic and best-selling dolls in the world, 
making her a true toy classic. 
She was first introduced to the market in 1959. 
The doll's male counterpart, 
KEN 
(full name: Kenneth Sean Carson),
 is also part of the Barbie franchise.
In 2023, Barbie: The Movie was released, 
starring Margot Robbie as the titular character 
and Ryan Gosling as her companion Ken. 
It marked the first live-action film about the doll, 
following numerous animated movies and TV series. 
The film became the highest-grossing movie of 2023,
 earning eight Oscar nominations in 2024 
and winning an award for Best Song.

In the same year, PEZ surprised us with a
new PEZ Barbie assortment, featuring a range 
of Barbies that was more diverse than ever before.
 Immediately, collectors and PEZ communities 
worldwide were excited about the new Barbies.

In a previous post from 2023, we asked whether
 it was time to add a Ken to the PEZ assortment.

Now, after many years, we are finally receiving a 
Ken from PEZ, and we are thrilled to share the 
first official photos with you! 

But that's not all, the PEZ Barbies have also 
undergone a makeover and will shine in 
entirely new outfits in 2025!  
While Ken will be available in both the 
USA and Europe, the new PEZ Barbies will initially 
be available only in Europe (Q2 2025).
We’ve already prepared a pictorial for you so
 that you can immediately spot the differences
 between the old and new dispensers. 
Let’s look forward to four new Barbie dispensers
 for our collections, which will soon be growing!

Happy Collecting!

Kuromi Makes Her PEZ Debut in the 2025 Hello Kitty Collection!

Exciting News for Hello Kitty PEZ Collectors!

Back in October, we shared a sneak peek
 of the 2025 European 
Hello Kitty Rainbow PEZ assortment. (here)
 
Now, it’s time for American PEZ fans
 to join the celebration! 
PEZ Candy Inc. has officially unveiled the
 American Hello Kitty PEZ assortment, 
and it’s packed with delightful surprises.

The biggest reveal? 

The debut of  
Kuromi,
 a fan-favorite from
 the My Melody universe, featuring an 
entirely new mold! 
 
Kuromi, 
My Melody’s rival and mischievous doppelganger, 
is often depicted as a white rabbit or 
imp-like creature. 
Her design includes a black jester’s hat adorned
with a pink skull and a playful black 
devil’s tail, a must-have for fans of Sanrio characters.

That’s not all! 

Since Kuromi hails from the My Melody universe,
 there’s even more to get excited about.
  My Melody 
is making her triumphant return
 to the American Hello Kitty PEZ lineup!
 Initially, the dispenser will feature her classic
 2005 design, 
but collectors should stay alert for potential 
subtle production variations.
 
Looking ahead, a brand-new My Melody design 
 is set to release later in 2025, offering 
a fresh take on this beloved character.
 
The third addition, the classic Hello Kitty 
on a purple stem, adorned with white 
Hello Kitty heads along the stem, 
which matches the 2025 European release.
 
Additionally, two newly designed Hello Kitty 
gift boxes will also be released in the USA, 
featuring Kuromi and My Melody as well as 
Kuromi and the purple Hello Kitty.
 
With these exciting updates, expect a flurry 
of activity as collectors trade and purchase
 across the Atlantic to complete their sets. 
To help navigate the new lineup, 
we’ve created a pictorial guide with 
European and American flags to indicate 
regional availability for each dispenser.
 
Mark your calendars! 
The 2025 Hello Kitty PEZ assortment 
officially launches in March, and we can’t wait to see these
 charming dispensers hit the shelves! 🎀🍬
Happy Collecting!

Finding Magic in the Countryside and a Hairy PEZ Pal

Sometimes, a simple drive through the countryside to buy a PEZ can feel magical. Today, after spending three days in the ICU, my husband James took me on a drive to lift my spirits. Along the way, we met Kaitlyn, who sold me my very first PEZ Pal with hair! She assured me it was original and in great condition, which made me smile and laugh. Kaitlyn shared that she found it among her mom's belongings, and it felt so special to bring him home.

It's incredible how these little PEZ dispensers can bring so much joy during tough times. Thank you, Kaitlyn, for this wonderful addition to my ever-growing collection. And a heartfelt thank you to all our readers who have supported us over the years—each and every one of you is truly special.

❤️, Pez Pal Kristin

A Festive PEZ Surprise: The Ultimate Christmas Ugly Sweater Dispenser is finally here!

When the Canadian NHL jerseys debuted in November 2023,
it was immediately clear that this mold had significant 
potential for future designs.

Even then, many of us couldn’t help but imagine 
how fantastic a PEZ Christmas Ugly Sweater 
dispenser would look!
Then this year, PEZ surprised us with the 
Harry Potter Hogwarts Jersey dispenser.

Now, as we hinted in a previous post, 
PEZ is delighting us with a 
Limited Edition Christmas Ugly Sweater. 
And PEZ has truly outdone themselves, 
the design turned out so amazing. 
OMG YES, we love the dispenser!
In festive red and green, perfectly coordinated,
 a Santa Claus smiles at us from the sweater. 

PEZ is making the wait for Christmas a little more joyful.

And we can already reveal one thing: 
this is just the beginning! 
Next year, at least one more Christmas Ugly Sweater will 
be on the agenda.

Grab the amazing new Christmas sweater here:
Europe, here
In the 1980s, television stars began
 appearing in the Christmas programs 
of British television wearing sweaters featuring 
Christmas motifs on the front. 
In the 1990s and 2000s, this garment evolved 
into a novelty item, especially by 2001, 
when actor Colin Firth 
appeared in a Christmas sweater in the movie 
Bridget Jones’s Diary, featuring a large reindeer head 
on the front. 
This marked the emergence of the fashion trend 
or "cult" of the "ugly Christmas sweater.

Of course, we've also prepared a PEZ Jersey Pictorial 
for you, so you can check if you're missing any.

Now, we’re not only excited about the 
new PEZ X-mas Ugly Sweater, there’s another
 great surprise from PEZ in store for all of us. 

Soon, we'll see the New Year dispenser from PEZ, 
and trust us, PEZ is about to go all out! 
We can already promise that you'll be absolutely thrilled!
Happy Collecting!
