The Valentine’s PEZ Twin Pack Joins the Collection

 We were actually expecting the 

Valentine’s PEZ Twin Pack 

with the two adorable bear dispensers last year, 

but as the saying goes, good things take time.

 The wait is finally over, and this charming

 Twin Pack is now available online 

directly from PEZ (here).

 This release is without a doubt a wonderful 

new addition for all PEZ Twin Pack collectors. 

At the same time, it makes a delightful 

Valentine’s Day gift, 

perfect for sharing with someone special and

 spreading a little extra love, PEZ-style.

  Here you can find our post highlighting 

the Valentine’s PEZ items you should be 

keeping an eye out for.

2026 Valentine’s Day PEZ Releases, a Collector’s Overview.

In Europe, aside from the 

PEZ Valentine’s Day Online Exclusive dispenser,

 there is currently nothing to be found in 

brick-and-mortar stores. Demand still appears

 to be too low for wider retail distribution.

The situation is quite different for our American PEZ friends. 

In the United States, 

Valentine’s Day PEZ dispensers 

are already available in a variety of retail channels. 

This gives us the perfect opportunity to provide an

 overview of what PEZ items can be found where this season.

First things first:  

there are no completely new Valentine’s 

Day dispensers for our collections this year.

However, packaging enthusiasts and stem

 variation collectors will certainly get their money’s worth, 

as several attractive new items have been 

released that make excellent additions to existing collections.

2026 Valentine's PEZ 

Already during the Christmas season, Sam’s Club 

surprised collectors with a special, 

Sam’s Club–exclusive Christmas Twin Pack. 

(here more) 

This trend continues with an 

exclusive 16 Count Valentine’s Party Pack, 

available only at Sam’s Club.

 

This new party pack contains 16 Valentine’s 

PEZ dispensers, including 8 dispensers featuring 

the Valentine’s Happy Crystal Heart and 

8 dispensers featuring the

 Purple Hugging Crystal Heart designs. 

As much as we appreciate this new Valentine’s Party Pack,

 it is a bit disappointing that the 

dispensers were not produced on mini stems.

 

 That said, this party pack fits perfectly into collections 

alongside the already well-known Halloween PEZ Party Packs.

Walmart also offers something special and

 exclusive from PEZ this year. 

While the choice of character may come as a surprise,

 it is certainly something completely different. 

Featuring a specially designed Valentine’s PEZ blister card, 

the Creeper from the Minecraft line 

is now available at Walmart.

 

This release is a definite must-have for 

PEZ blister card collectors and stem variation collectors alike, 

as the Creeper now appears on a  

11.4 Hungary stem instead of the usual 11.4 China stem.

Several PEZ collectors have also reported 

finding the Cupcake from the PEZ Treats line 

on a Valentine’s card at Hobby Lobby. 

This dispenser has been added to the 

Valentine’s assortment this year and greets 

us with a wonderfully cheerful smile.

Now, all that remains is to wait and see what 

PEZ will present as this year’s Valentine’s Day 

Online Exclusive dispenser. 

 

And once again, PEZ seems to have come up with 

something very interesting, something you most 

likely would never expect.

Stay tuned. It remains exciting.

Happy Collecting!

Excited and Happy! Looking Back on 2025: A Year in PEZ Collecting! Here is our 2025 PEZ Pictorial for you! Facts & Pictures!

In just a few days, we will be sliding straight into the

 99th year since the founding and creation of PEZ. 

Many of us still remember the times when PEZ

 released no more than four new series per year.

 Those days are clearly long behind us.

 

Over the past few days, we have taken the

 time to look back once again at the current 

year and, as we have done every year since 2014,

 to create our annual PEZ Pictorial.

While in 2014 it was still a real challenge to obtain

 good-quality images of dispensers,

 this has fortunately become much easier,

 better, and far more professional over the years.

  We are very happy to share this pictorial with you, 

whether as a checklist, a collector’s overview,

 or simply as a celebration of everything PEZ brought

 us throughout the year. Feel free to print it,

 frame it, or even gift it to fellow collectors.

 

At the same time, we would like to sincerely thank PEZ 

 for the incredible creativity they continue to show, 

for the thoughtful designs, the fantastic ideas,

 and the colorful, vibrant dispensers they 

create for all of us collectors.

On a more personal note, we also want to thank PEZ

 for their patience with us throughout the year. 

We certainly kept them busy with questions about information,

 images, release dates, and more, 

and they always found the time to support us properly. 

Thank you for that, PEZ!

 

Before we dive in, we know you are all waiting 

for the important facts.
As always, the dispensers are listed by release date. 

That means, for example, that this year’s Valentine dispensers, 

which were released at the end of last year, 

are therefore included in the 2024 Pictorial.

Without any doubt, this was a year of superlatives.

 Everything we collectors love made an appearance:

Crystal PEZ dispensers (4 new ones),  

2 golden PEZ dispensers (Presenter Girl and Golden Santa)

Bronze Nutcracker, 

and absolute highlights that made us go crazy:

 the Alien dispenser and the two Glow in the Dark PEZ dispensers

Many of you probably already had the feeling

 that this year brought more new PEZ dispensers

 than ever before, and yes, you were absolutely right!

 

We are very happy to officially confirm that in 2025, 

PEZ released an 

incredible 114 new dispensers 

(including the Walmart Hello Kitty variation) 

for our collections.
For comparison: there were 103 new dispensers

  in both 2023 and 2024.

 

Among these 114 new dispensers were 

6 completely new PEZ assortments, 

resulting in 27 brand-new dispensers. 

(4× TMNT Turtles, 3× Squishmallows, 3× Jurassic Explorers, 

7× Nightmare Before Christmas, 3× Naruto, 8× Stitch (including the Giant PEZ). 

 

At the same time, this means:  

96 PEZ dispensers were released in the USA, 

62 PEZ dispensers were released in Europe. 

 

Broken down further:

52 dispensers were USA-only

18 dispensers were Europe-only 

 

We often read in PEZ communities that PEZ 

tends to reuse the same molds. 

This year proves otherwise in an impressive way:
40 brand-new molds, yes, forty! 

A number very few of us would have expected!

 

With 25 online-exclusive dispensers 

(including the Golden Advent Calendar Santa),

 we landed exactly at the same number as last year.

Of these:

24 were online exclusives in the USA via PEZ Candy Inc.

21 were available to European collectors via PEZ International.

 

Another very noticeable highlight this year was the number of

 customer-specific PEZ dispensers.
With a total of 21, 

this is yet another new record,

 heavily driven by Disney Parks releases. 

17 for the USA, and 4 for Europe.

(8× Disney Parks, 3× Walmart (including Hello Kitty variation), 

1× Hello Kitty Japan-Osaka Expo, 1× Pudgy Penguins, 3× Sonic Spain (Jijonenca), 

2× Target Dogs, 3× Trucks (ACE, Wawa, Abt). 

 

At this point, we would also like to share the link to 

all PEZ Pictorials from 2014 to 2025 (here).
And if that’s still not enough, you will find many more 

fantastic PEZ Pictorials from us right here.

 

Even though PEZ also enjoys some well-deserved

 rest during the holidays, one thing is certain:
While we were looking back at this year’s dispensers,

 PEZ has already been working behind the scenes 

on exciting things for 2026. 

 

And it all starts very early in the year,  so stay tuned,

 there is a lot to come.

 

We will definitely be hearing the slogan 

“I NEED SPACE”,

 and honestly, it perfectly reflects our daily collector’s life.

 

Finally, we would like to thank you, our community, 

for your loyalty and support. 

We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful

 New Year filled with happiness, success, good health, 

 and of course, many new PEZ dispensers

 for your collections.

Here’s to an amazing 99th year with PEZ!

Happy Collecting, and Happy New Year!

    

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Our PEZ Family!

We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful

 and peaceful Christmas and a joyful holiday season. 

 

May many PEZ gifts be waiting

 for you under the tree.

 

Thank you for following and sharing so many wonderful PEZ

 moments with us throughout the year.

A Timeless Exclusive: The “It’s a Small World” Clock as a New Disney Parks PEZ

 When the first Disney Parks PEZ dispensers

 were released in November 2019, 

it was immediately clear that they

 were destined for success.

 

These dispensers did not only capture the

 hearts of us PEZ collectors, Disney collectors embraced 

them just as enthusiastically. 

Park visitors of all ages, young and old alike, took them home

 as souvenirs or cherished reminders of their

 magical park experiences.

 

It therefore came as no surprise when this 

success was repeated. Today, Disney Parks PEZ dispensers 

have become a fixed and beloved 

part of our collections.

Even though we did not expect a new PEZ dispenser

 these days, certainly not a new Disney Parks PEZ, 

and even less so one featuring a completely new mold, 

it is exactly these unexpected moments

 that make our hobby so special and rewarding.

 We are now delighted to welcome a new dispenser

 that is once again available exclusively 

in the American Disney Parks: 

the iconic clock from 

“It’s a Small World,” 

one of Disney’s most classic and beloved attractions.

  For this release, Disney commissioned an exclusive mold 

that resembles the well-known PEZ “puck,”

 but redesigned in an upright form. 

The concept is nothing short of brilliant. 

 

The Disney Parks PEZ Collection truly has it all! 

 

Nearly all of the well-known and much-loved 

characters are represented as 

Disney Parks PEZ dispensers.

 

 With the addition of three new molds, 

the Glow in the Dark dispenser, 

and the Crystal Cinderella, 

the collection has now grown to an impressive 

total of 18 dispensers. 

 

Although nothing has been officially confirmed by PEZ,

 we somehow have the feeling that we 

should leave a little extra 

space in our display cases. 

Who knows, 2026 might still hold the one

 or other surprises for us. 

 

Of course, we have prepared an up-to-date 

Disney Parks PEZ pictorial for you as well.  

Our sincere thanks go to our Maheba for sharing the

 wonderful photos with us. :) 

 How wonderful our hobby truly is.

Happy Collecting!
