Where Did Our PEZ Candy Mascot Go?...And When It Might Return...

Back in May 2019, during the Sweets and Snacks Expo, 

PEZ released its very first Candy Mascot dispenser

 in a limited edition of just 1,000 pieces, 

and honestly, we all completely freaked out.

 

It wasn’t just a new mold,

 that little candy dude was adorable.

 One look and boom 💥

straight into our collector hearts. 

 

Back then, we never could’ve imagined what was coming.

By the end of last October, 

PEZ had rolled out  

25 different Candy Mascots, 

and our shelves filled up faster than 

we could rearrange our display cases. 

Some of us were basically playing Tetris with

 our PEZ cabinets just to make them fit! 

 

But now… it’s been almost a year since 

we’ve seen a new PEZ Candy Mascot hit the scene.

 And collectors everywhere are wondering: 

 

What happened to the mascot?
Did the mold break?
Did the PEZ team run out of ideas?
Or did our candy buddy just take a long vacation?😅

 

We’ve been getting tons of messages about it, 

so of course, we checked in with PEZ for you.

 But here’s the scoop 

(and you might want to sit down for this one) 

 

The Online Exclusive dispensers usually require

quite a long preparation and production

 phase, and since the next few releases 

are already planned and even partially produced,

 it’s becoming clear that there won’t be a new 

PEZ Candy Mascot among the upcoming Online Exclusives.

 

And brace yourselves, 2026 doesn’t look too

 promising either. 

PEZ already has other ideas and 

dispensers lined up for that year. 

 

It’s not that they’ve run out of ideas, 

the mascot has simply been given a little break.

 

As things stand right now, the PEZ Candy Mascot

 could make its grand return no sooner than 2027, 

just in time for PEZ’s 100th anniversary! 

Maybe they already have something truly 

special planned for that occasion.

For all those who missed out on the 

Halloween Franky Mascot PEZ 

dispenser last year, here's a pleasant surprise: 

PEZ International has brought it back to their 

online store in Europe! If you’ve been looking for 

this spooky collectible, now’s your chance to 

grab it before it disappears again! 

(here)

So for now, if you’re still missing a few mascots

 in your lineup, this is your chance to hunt them down. 

 

And if your mascot squad’s already complete… sit back,

 dream a little, and imagine what 

awesome new dispensers PEZ might 

be teasing for the future.

 

We’d love to hear your thoughts, how do you feel about the 

PEZ Candy Mascot sitting out for a while?

Happy Collecting!
