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!

    

Clear Some Space! New PEZ Treats Are Joining the Family!

 When PEZ Candy USA kicked off the 

PEZ Treats series back in January 2021. 

serving up the now-iconic 

Pizza, Taco, and Burger dispensers, 

we collectors were hooked faster than you can say 

“pass the candy!”

 

It was fresh, fun, and full of excitement, 

it was everything we didn’t know we needed.

  Since then, our Treats collections have exploded 

in the best way possible. 

Regular releases, Online Exclusives, Expo specials, 

you name it, we’ve hunted it down. 

With all the molds, variations, and sweet little surprises,

 we’ve proudly stacked 20 Treats dispensers into 

our displays so far.

 And yes… they look amazing!

But hold onto your shelves, because things are 
about to get even sweeter.
Two brand-new Treats dispensers are heading 
our way this January! (USA only)

PEZ first teased them at the Sweets & Snacks Expo, 
and let’s just say they caused quite a stir: 
a new slice of pizza and an new cute donut

 are joining the lineup.

Now, we’ll be honest—these might not have been 

the Treats at the top of our wish list

(our dream concepts list is long, trust us!)

but come on… the moment these hit the shelves, 

every one of us will be sprinting to snag them. 

Because that’s what we do. 

And because PEZ Treats magic is real.

Of course, because how could we not? We’ve put together

 a brand-new pictorial for you, featuring both of the 

upcoming January releases in all their Treats glory.

Happy Collecting!

Unwrapping the 2025 PEZ Christmas Collection! With a Big Surprise Ahead! Plus the 2025 Christmas PEZ Pictorial for you!

You’ll probably agree with us: 

the weeks leading up to Christmas are 

an absolute dream for collectors.

 

For several years now, this season has meant 

one thing, an avalanche of amazing 

and wonderfully unique PEZ dispensers 

to add to our collections.

 

And now that almost all of this year’s dispensers 

have been released, things are getting really thrilling.

 

Because, brace yourselves, there’s still one

 more dispenser on the way! 

 

A truly, collector-heart-skipping surprise

 that we can’t wait to reveal… but more on that later.

For now, we’ve bundled all released dispensers

 into a pictorial overview. 

In this post, you’ll find every dispenser listed 

with a short explanation to guide you through

 this year’s festive lineup.

Spotted: This Year’s Ugly Christmas PEZ Sweater Hits U.S. Stores

Back in July, as part of our Christmas in July celebration, 

we gave you a first sneak peek at this 

year’s brand-new 

Ugly Christmas PEZ Sweater Dispenser. 

And now it’s happening, collectors are starting to report

 sightings in stores, which can only mean one thing:

the PEZ holiday season is officially here! 🎁

Last year, when the limited-edition 

Ugly Christmas Sweater Dispenser 

dropped as an online exclusive in both the U.S. and Europe,

 fans went absolutely wild. 

It was festive, it was fun, and it sold out fast.

So it comes as no surprise that PEZ is bringing

 the magic back this year , 

 only this time, they’re making the 

Ugly PEZ Christmas Sweater available to 

a wider audience of fans and collectors!

The design is clearly inspired by the much-loved 2024 version,

 featuring the same cozy red-and-green color scheme,

 a cheerful Santa, and the classic PEZ logo

front and center. 

It’s everything we loved about last year’s release, 

back for another round of holiday cheer!

There’s just one small catch: this festive dispenser 

is only available in tube packaging 

and exclusively in the U.S.

Still, we’ll take any excuse to celebrate a

 brand-new addition to our collections , and we 

can’t wait to see what other 

online-exclusive PEZ releases are still 

to come this holiday season! 

Stay tuned, PEZ fans, the most wonderful 

time of the year has officially started!

Happy Collecting!

From the North Pole to the Tropics: PEZ Does It Again! A Reindeer Joins the Summer Party!

There are a thousand reasons to celebrate summer, 

and even more, thanks to PEZ and their sunny

 new summer-themed dispenser!

 

Last year, PEZ surprised us with a fun twist

 on holiday cheer:

 the Christmas in July Santa Clause dispenser.

 Sporting black sunglasses and a Hawaiian

 stem print, he brought tropical vacation

 vibes right into our collections.

As we already hinted, PEZ is celebrating

summer once again this year.

And let’s be honest, what’s Santa without his trusty reindeer?

Exactly, totally lost. :)

So now, Santa’s not alone anymore!

His cool reindeer companion has arrived,

also wearing black sunglasses and rocking

that cheerful Hawaiian print.

 

 We’re absolutely thrilled that Santa 

finally has company in our display cases.

 

This new Summer Reindeer is available 

exclusively online, 

Europe: here

and in the US here

amazing summer dispensers, 

inviting us to snap colorful and 

sunny photos with them. 

While the flamingo duo Mabel and Floyd 

will always be our all-time favorites, 

we’re super excited to welcome this reindeer 

into the summer lineup.

 

Summer collecting has never been more fun. 

Thank you, PEZ!

 

Happy Collecting! 

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!
