PEZ-tacular Previews: Sweet Surprises from the 2025 Sweets & Snacks Expo!

We’re beyond excited to finally share with

 you all the incredible PEZ highlights 

from this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo!

 In this post, we’ve rounded up the hottest new

 releases for 2025 — and yes, even a few 

sneak peeks for 2026! 🎉

PEZ has once again secured some of the

 cutest and most exciting licenses, 

and they’re winning our hearts all over 

again with an amazing lineup of new dispensers.

We’re dying to know: 

Which ones are YOU most excited about?

 

As we mentioned in our previous post,

 this year’s exclusive Expo dispenser is none

 other than the limited-edition, winking Blueberry

 PEZ Presenter Girl, and here, you’ll find everything 

you need to know about this collector’s dream!

(here)

We want to give a very special thank you 

 to our on-site reporter B for supplying 

all the fantastic photos from the show floor. 

We truly appreciate your dedication and are so 

grateful that you think of us year after year. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Now, let’s dive into the Expo atmosphere

 together and enjoy every sweet and exciting

 detail PEZ has prepared for us this year. 💥

 

Yesterday, PEZ teased us with a cryptic

 social media post: a red balloon, a single ear… 

and the words “Coming Soon.”

 

Naturally, the PEZ communities went 

wild with speculation — and the majority 

guessed it right away:  

Bluey!

It’s now official!

 PEZ has secured the 

Disney license for Bluey, 

and an entire line of Bluey PEZ dispensers 

is on the way!
There’s no escaping Bluey right now, 

they she’s absolutely 

everywhere, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Who is Bluey?

Bluey is a 6-year-old Blue Heeler puppy with an unstoppable imagination, boundless energy, and a big heart. The show, originally from Australia, has become a global sensation — and with good reason.

Bluey lives with her mum Chilli, her dad Bandit, and her adorable little sister Bingo. Each episode follows the family through everyday situations that turn into amazing adventures thanks to Bluey’s creative spirit and the family’s playful approach to parenting.

The actual dispensers are still under wraps,

 so unfortunately we can’t show them to you just yet. But considering Bluey’s massive global success, 

especially with younger kids — it’s very likely that

 PEZ International will bring this line to the European market in 2026.

 

Back in late January, we gave you the 

exciting scoop on our blog: 

Pengu the Penguin from the beloved 

Pudgy Penguins collection

would be making

 his grand debut as a PEZ dispenser this year! 

(here more)

And now — the moment we’ve all been

 waiting for has finally arrived!

PEZ has just dropped the first exclusive 

photos of the brand-new penguin dispenser

on their social media channels, and yes, 

we are absolutely in love with the new PENGU PEZ!

  We can’t wait to see him officially packaged, 

and we’re really hoping this adorable penguin 

series will continue to grow in the future. 🐧✨

Squishmallows

are ultra-soft, cuddly plush toys 

with a marshmallow-like texture, 

and that’s exactly where their name comes from!

First launched in 2017, they’ve since become

 a global pop culture phenomenon, 

capturing hearts across all ages.

Now, the excitement continues with the arrival 

of PEZ Squishmallows!
With Cam, Patty, and Junie, we’re getting 

not one but three brand-new PEZ dispensers, 

and this adorable series is just getting started!

 Set to launch in the USA in June, and Europe Q3 

the Squishmallows PEZ line is sure to grow even 

more in the future. Stay tuned, 

the squishy fun is only beginning!

 

They’re back! 

Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael 

are hitting the shelves once again!

 The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 

are returning to the PEZ universe, 

and this time they’re sporting an all-new

 mold and fresh design!

Longtime favorites and a staple in many 

collections for years, these four heroes 

in a half shell are making their comeback 

in true style.
Soon to be released in the USA and Europe, 

this new TMNT PEZ lineup is ready to kick 

its way straight into our hearts, 

and our collections! 🐢💥

 

We’ve already shared the first official 

images of the brand-new  

Nightmare Before Christmas 

PEZ collection with you (here more)

and the excitement hasn’t stopped since!

When the photos of Jack, Sally, Zero, 

and the matching collector’s tin were revealed, 

pure enthusiasm swept through the PEZ communities.

These are without a doubt must-have dispensers, 

a true highlight of the year and an instant 

favorite for fans and collectors alike!

This fun and whimsical series brings dessert-themed

 dispensers to life, combining the joy of collecting

PEZ has chosen a new pizza and donut design, 

maybe not the most surprising choices,

The thrill is far from over — it’s only just beginning! 🎉🔥

Marvel & Paw Patrol 4 packs PEZ make their way to Walmart Stores

You might remember way back in 2017 we reported from the Sweets and Snacks Expo that a new concept box with 4 Marvel PEZ was on display, but one was supposed to be a mystery dispenser. 

If you don't recall you can visit the original post HERE.  

We never saw this concept make it to market but today we can report a box similar in size to the one from the 2017 show, has now started to show up on Christmas candy shelves at Walmart stores.  Instead of the mystery concept design we have two new boxed sets one is 

MARVEL and the other is PAW PATROL.

MARVEL Features 

Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther & Spiderman

PAW PATROL Features

Marshall, Chase, Skye & Rocky

We send a HUGE Thank You to Megan N.
