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!

    

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! 

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.

 

2025 PEZ ADVENT CALENDAR

One absolute highlight this year is the 

European Advent Calendar.

limited-edition golden PEZ Santa.

In our pictorial, you’ll also spot the red PEZ Elf. 

He isn’t technically new, but this year he joins the 

European Christmas lineup with a 

printed PEZ Playcode on the stem. 

That means he’s not just a variation; 

he officially becomes part of the 

growing PEZ Playcode Collection.

(Euro only) 

Hello Kitty Christmas PEZ – Walmart Exclusive.
Hello Kitty on a red stem with a festive green 

bow is available exclusively at Walmart, and the best part?

UPDATE:

We’re getting the Nutcracker in a brand-new look!

No, not gold,instead, PEZ came up 

with something equally brilliant for the Nutcracker.  

 

Following the gorgeous Bronze PEZ Snowman from 2023, 

the Nutcracker now joins the lineup in 

a limited, Online-Only Bronze edition!

the new shiny bronze Nutcracker.

Hello Kitty PEZ Assortments for 2025: A Sneak Peek and Update on Collectible Releases

Back in October, we shared an exclusive sneak

 peek of the 2025 European 

Hello Kitty Rainbow PEZ assortment. 

Now, the three adorable Hello Kitty dispensers 

are finally available at PEZ International (Europe)!

(here)

While PEZ Candy Inc. (USA) has a separate
 Hello Kitty PEZ collection for the 
American market, accompanied 

by an image that caused a bit of confusion,

we thought it was the perfect time 
to give you an overview of the 

different Hello Kitty PEZ assortments.

 

European PEZ Collectors:

European PEZ collectors can now order the following three dispensers online:

The Rainbow Kitty: 

Featuring a white bow on a light blue stem.

The Classic Kitty: 

Mounted on a purple stem with a print of white 

 Hello Kitty heads along the stem.

The Hello Kitty with a Crystal 

 Blue Rainbow Bow: 

This design perfectly complements the blue stem 

of the Rainbow Kitty dispenser.

American PEZ Collectors

American PEZ collectors can look soon forward

 to the following Hello Kitty dispensers:
Kuromi: 
Featuring a black jester’s hat adorned with 

a pink skull and a playful black devil’s tail. 

PEZ has created an entirely new dispenser

 and mold for this design.
My Melody:
 Returning, albeit in the 2005 design. 

While this dispenser has been reactivated, 

there’s a chance there may be slight color 

differences from the original version, 

which could make it a potential variant.
The Purple Hello Kitty: 
Both American and European markets will see this dispenser. 

However, there was some confusion when an

 image of the dispenser was mistakenly shown 

in maroon for the U.S. market.

 Rest assured, the dispenser will be available 

in purple for U.S. collectors as well, 

and the maroon version will not be released, 

nor is it planned for the future.

More Hello Kitty Fun Ahead!

Make room in your Hello Kitty PEZ collection because 
PEZ Candy Inc. has even more exciting 
releases planned for later this year. 
After many years, a new Hello Kitty Gift Tin 
will be released this September! 
Both the dispensers and the tin will be wonderful, with new molds, including My Melody, and a second new mold planned. 
Plus, all the dispensers will feature a lovely stem print.

But, we’ll have to be patient as the first official images of 

this collection will likely be revealed at the Sweets and Snacks Expo 

when the new Hello Kitty Tin is officially introduced to the public.

Until then, enjoy the current dispensers and the 
two new Hello Kitty Twin boxes! (USA only)

Happy Collecting!

a limited-edition

disappeared faster than a leprechaun’s pot of gold.

 in the cards, but let’s be real, PEZ continues to wow us 

year after year.

green Care Bear to the adorable green mascot,

the creativity has been 

nothing short of amazing.

more thrilled.
