As we race full throttle toward the end of the year,
eagerly awaiting the final Online Exclusive
PEZ dispensers, we can’t help but look back
with excitement and gratitude at what a fantastic
year it’s been for PEZ collectors.
From amazing new licenses to beautifully
designed dispensers, 2025 has truly
delivered plenty of reasons for our collector
hearts to beat faster!
Behind the scenes, the PEZ magic never sleeps!
While we’re still unwrapping and admiring
this year’s releases, the creative minds in
are already buzzing with ideas for the 2026 lineup.
From securing new licenses to perfecting
every tiny detail of a dispenser,
the whole process takes about a year,
so the teams on both sides of the Atlantic
have been busy cooking up next year’s surprises
for quite a while now.
We can almost hear the clinking of candy
bricks and the hum of PEZ creativity in the air!
be made once the
PEZ International Product & Export Catalog is released,
and most details are still tightly under wraps.
But… a few little hints have already made
their way out into the world.
We did some digging for you, and in this post,
we’re excited to share a sneak peek at what PEZ
might have in store for 2026!
Please keep in mind that these are early plans,
and things may still change before the final
lineup is revealed.
PEZ Treats Are Back on the Menu!
When PEZ Candy USA launched the PEZ Treats
series back in January 2021, featuring the now-iconic
Pizza, Taco, and Burger dispensers,
we collectors were instantly hooked.
It was something fresh, quirky, and just downright fun.
Over the years, our PEZ Treats collections
have grown nicely, with plenty of exciting additions,
from regular releases to Online Exclusives
and Expo specials.
room on those display stands, because
two brand-new Treats dispensers
are on their way this coming January!
First shown earlier this year at the
Sweets & Snacks Expo, PEZ will serve up
a new slice of pizza and a delightfully sweet donut.
Now, we’ll admit, these might not have been
the Treats we were dreaming of
(there are so many fun ideas still waiting to happen!)
But let’s be honest, we’ll all be sprinting to add
these to our collections the moment they drop!
get Ready, Collectors!
When PEZ showed off a massive Bluey-themed display
at the Sweets and Snacks Expo in May, it
was the ultimate tease, confirming that
Bluey PEZ dispensers are officially on the way!
The news spread fast through the collector community,
and ever since, Bluey has been high
on everyone’s PEZ radar.
So far, there’s still no sign of the actual dispensers,
no photos, no leaks, just whispers and wishful thinking,
but the wait is almost over.
We’ll be seeing them soon, and if the excitement
is anything to go by, these will be instant must-haves for 2026!
For anyone new to the craze, Bluey is a beloved
Australian animated series about an energetic
Blue Heeler pup named Bluey and her
little sister Bingo. It’s charming,
funny, and full of heart, the perfect vibe for PEZ to
capture in dispenser form.
PEZ has big plans for 2026, a completely new Bluey lineup
is on the way, and it’s set to keep us
collecting all year long.
Get your displays ready, because when
Bluey and Bingo finally land, you know
it’s going to be a full-on PEZ chase!
From Japan to the world, Hello Kitty has captured
hearts everywhere, and in the world of PEZ,
she’s long since taken the throne.
She’s more than just another license; she’s a true icon,
one that’s become inseparable from the PEZ story itself.
This year alone, we’ve found ourselves
rearranging and squeezing our Hello Kitty displays
more times than we can count, and for good reason!
With 11 brand-new dispensers
released in 2025, it’s been the biggest
Hello Kitty PEZ year ever.
Talk about a collector’s dream
(and a shelf-space nightmare)
And of course, it wouldn’t be PEZ without
another adorable Hello Kitty surprise
coming our way.
For 2026, PEZ is keeping the tradition alive
with an all-new Hello Kitty lineup ,
this time themed around strawberries! 🍓
The new collection will feature a
cute strawberry stem print design for Hello Kitty,
adding a fresh twist to everyone’s favorite feline.
That means our Hello Kitty collections are about
to grow again, so go ahead and make some room now…
because when it comes to Hello Kitty PEZ,
there’s always space for one more!
Rolling Into the PEZ World!
Now here’s something we’re really excited about,
an entirely new PEZ lineup is on the horizon!
Monster truck fans, this one’s for you:
PEZ has teamed up with Mattel to
bring the legendary Hot Wheels Monster Trucks
to life as PEZ dispensers in 2026!
For those who aren’t familiar,
the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks are the
larger-than-life cousins of the classic Hot Wheels cars,
bold, colorful, and built to crush anything in their path.
They’ve become a huge hit with collectors and
kids alike, known for their wild designs and
over-the-top personalities.
And now, they’re getting the PEZ treatment! 🚀
We can hardly wait to share the first
images of the
three brand-new Monster Truck PEZ dispensers
with you. If the early buzz is anything to go by,
these are going to be absolute show-stoppers,
and definite must-haves for 2026!
Bananas on the Horizon:
Minions
Return to the Big Screen, and to Our PEZ Shelves!
Building the Collection! 
July is about to go yellow again.
Bananas will claim the top spot in the food pyramid,
and tiny blue overalls will become the
height of summer fashion.
Yes indeed, everyone’s favorite chaotic
little troublemakers are returning to
theaters on July 1, 2026!
A movie that big calls for matching PEZ magic.
Of course PEZ has secured the Minions license
once more, because a cinema blockbuster
without PEZ dispensers would be like a Minion
without mischief.
This time, the lineup is getting a stylish upgrade.
Two classic characters will show off fresh new prints,
and even better, we get to welcome an all-new
Minion character into our collections.
Collectors, consider this your heads-up to start
fluffing up some space on your PEZ shelves.
Let your current Minions shuffle a bit closer together,
whisper some secret banana plans,
and prepare to greet the new recruit.
Summer 2026 may still feel a little far away,
though the anticipation is already delicious.
The countdown to more chaos, more giggles,
and more PEZ has officially begun.
Minecraft PEZ Continues to Expand!
Minecraft has shaped a whole generation of gamers.
Endless worlds, endless creativity, and now,
a growing world of collectibles.
PEZ has embraced that spirit beautifully.
Across the last two years, a total of
11 Minecraft dispensers
have joined our shelves.
From Steve and Alex to Creepers, each new release
has felt like discovering another important
piece of the game come to life.
The story does not stop here.
Minecraft PEZ will continue into 2026 with
new additions coming our way.
Details are still under wraps, though the excitement
is already noticeable among collectors.
Whatever PEZ has planned, it will be welcomed
with open collector arms
Super Mario PEZ Continues to Grow!
There are a few icons that shaped our
childhoods forever.
Super Mario is definitely one of them.
Countless hours of jumping, running,
and saving the Mushroom Kingdom…
and let’s be honest, a whole lot of late-night
gaming sessions fueled by pure determination
and maybe some snacks.
Mario swept the world into his adventures
faster than you can say “Here we go!”
Lucky for us collectors, Mario and his friends
have also been longtime residents in the PEZ universe.
Over the years, they have turned our display
shelves into mini Nintendo celebrations.
Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad… every new character
brings another hit of nostalgia straight to the heart.
This year, PEZ already surprised us with
revamped molds for Mario and Toad,
giving them fresh details and that spark of modern charm.
A true legend gets a makeover!
Donkey Kong himself is stepping into the spotlight.
The giant, the rival, the hero,
the banana enthusiast.
One of Nintendo’s earliest stars is returning
in a completely newly designed PEZ mold.
We will have to be patient before the
new Donkey Kong swings into our collections.
Though that sense of anticipation is part of
what makes this hobby so joyful.
The countdown to Donkey Kong’s arrival
has officially started!
Even though we’ve already teased quite a
few PEZ updates for 2026, believe us,
that’s really just scratching the surface.
PEZ still has plenty of surprises tucked away,
and some of them are bound to be absolute
show-stoppers that will make collectors
everywhere sit up a little straighter.
Every new PEZ arrival isn’t just a candy dispenser,
it’s a story, a memory,
a little piece of joy that finds its place in our
collections and collector hearts.
Happy Collecting!
