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!
