Full Overview! PEZ's Kat & Annie's New PEZ Ornaments

Oh my goodness, 
we’ve packed away our 
Kat & Annie 
ornaments in boxes, and now we 
find ourselves in the predicament
 of losing track of the new PEZ ornaments 
Kat and Annie have crafted for us this year.
 Do you feel the same way?
 
We’ve discovered a solution and 
created a visual guide for you showcasing
 this year’s new ornaments, as well as a 
comprehensive overview of all the PEZ 
ornaments by Kat and Annie released to date.

We absolutely adore these ornaments
 from Kat and Annie, but this year, 
with 18 new designs, both our budget 
and our collecting enthusiasm have hit a bit of a pause.
 
Sometimes, less truly is more. :)
 
You can find these ornaments at 
PEZ Candy Inc. (here)
as well as directly from Kat and Annie (here)

A Visual Celebration of Christopher Radko's PEZ Ornaments

When the first PEZ glass ornament 
by Christopher Radko was released in 2019, 
we were instantly enchanted. 
For the sixth consecutive year, 
we’re thrilled to present another delightful
 piece that has captivated us. 
This year’s standout is a 
Nutcracker PEZ dispenser ornament, 
now available for order from PEZ Candy Inc. (here)
or directly from Christopher Radko. (here)
If you're missing last year's ornament, 
you can still order the 
"Jolly PEZ Ornament"
 Christopher Radko says:
 Get ready to light up your holiday season
 in the most playful way possible with 
the Nutcracker PEZ dispenser ornament. 
This nutcracker isn’t just cracking nuts
 – he’s cracking smiles and spreading 
holiday cheer, one candy at a time!
 

 
Of course, we’ve prepared another 
wonderful pictorial for you, showcasing 
all the ornaments by Christopher Radko
 that have been available to date.

we eagerly ventured into the 
5 Below stores to seize the new

Had we known in advance about 
another delightful licensed PEZ item

 sought it out right away.
Keep an eye out for a strawberry-flavored lip balm.
 Also included is a keychain shaped
 like a PEZ strawberry candy.

PEZ has unveiled two new Notepads in Retro and Treats Style!

Again and again, we glance over to
 Japan when various new licensed
 PEZ merchandise featuring 
retro vintage PEZ dispensers coming onto the market.

Often, we wonder why it isn’t easier for
 us to access these items, 
or why PEZ itself does not release products with 
the design of the Retro PEZ dispensers.

However, this is about to change, 
as PEZ Candy Inc. surprises us with
two new notepads. 

These exciting additions celebrate 
both classic and contemporary designs. 
One of the two new notepads boasts 
a retro design featuring vintage 
PEZ dispensers from yesteryear. 
With these retro dispensers, PEZ returns to its roots. 
Yes, PEZ, we want more of these vintage retro classics! 
You have plenty of usable material in 
your archives, don’t hold back; 
give us what we love! :)

The second notepad is also impressive, 
showcasing current dispensers from the 
beloved PEZ Treats collection.
In our digital age, notepads remain an 
essential tool, helping us capture thoughts, 
ideas, and to-do lists, 
freeing our minds for new inspirations.

These new Notepads from PEZ are so charming 
that they feel to special to use in everday life.

You can find these two fantastic new notepads here. 
(USA only)
If you don’t already have the matching 
PEZ Pens, be sure to check also out the 
Two new PEZ Pencils are also available
to add to your collection.
 

 
PEZ Candy Inc added a few more Kat & Annie PEZ Ornaments, these are a nice addition to all the PEZ Ornaments Collectors!
What a wonderful surprise from PEZ, 
we’d love to see more in the future!
Happy Collecting!

PEZ Brings Joy to the Taipei Toy Festival.

We are always happy when our beloved
 hobby and of course PEZ are 
brought into focus, be it at trade fairs, 
events or exhibitions.
 
Today we have received pictures from Taipei-Taiwan,
 which we naturally want to share with you,
 the Taipei Toy Festival is currently
 taking place there, which has not only 
generated bigger attendance each year, 
but it has also caught international attention.
 Taipei Toy Festival (TTF) has emerged as 
one of the largest and most prestigious 
designer toy venues in the world.
 
The 21st Taipei Toy Festival is going on this weekend
 from October 10 to 13 at Huashan 1914 Creative Park.
The exhibition features three halls and four areas, with 146
exhibitors from around the world
 And of course PEZ cannot be missed, 
and will be represented as an exhibitor at 
the trade fair, at stand A19.
This provides PEZ the opportunity to
 showcase its products to all toy enthusiasts. 
It's also the ideal way to attract new collectors.
 The stand itself is small but super cute, 
but take a look yourself.
We would take this amazing display 
case home with us, right away!
 
Congratulaitions PEZ Taiwan, you did a 
wonderful job on creating an amazing set up!
 
That's how we love it!

The Christmas PEZ Candies shine with a new Look and Flavor!

Today, we have something wonderful 
not just for our PEZ Candies collectors, 
but also for anyone open to trying a
new PEZ flavor.  
Exactly one year ago, we shared with you, 
the soft design changes at PEZ International 
(click here to read more). 
As we indicated back then, the Christmas 
PEZ Candies would shine with a fresh look 
and introduce a new flavor.

The moment has arrived: 
the new flavor 
"Cranberry" 
is now available alongside the 
"Mandarin" 
PEZ Candy in the PEZ Christmas assortment.

Not only the PEZ Candies, but also the 
festive PEZ blister cards now have a 
renewed look and are available here. 
(Euro only)
 Unfortunately, it seems that the 
X-mas Cookie flavor has been 
discontinued to make way for the new Cranberry variety. 
However, there are still some remaining stocks available.



For all those who have ordered this year's
 new PEZ Advent Calendar from 
PEZ International (Europe) there is good news: 
the new Mandarin and Cranberry PEZ candies 
are included in the Advent Calendar.

This is another fantastic addition that 
will surely find a place in our collection.
Happy Collecting!

Now Available! Sonic Sparkles: The Crystal PEZ Set We’ve All Been Waiting For!

Sonic the Hedgehog was first developed
 by Sega and released in 1991 to compete
 with Nintendo's mascot, Mario. 
The game quickly became a cult classic, 
along with its iconic 
anthropomorphic blue hedgehog character.

After adding Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails 
from the Sonic PEZ range to our collections in 2022,
 more characters are on the way. 
The sweet pink hedgehog Amy Rose, 
who has a crush on Sonic, is the latest 
addition to the PEZ Sonic lineup. 
While Amy is already available from 
PEZ Candy Inc. in the USA (here) 
Europe is still waiting for her to appear 
in the PEZ International online shop.
From now on, 
our American collector friends can purchase
 the fantastic Sonic gift box featuring, 
Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails as crystal dispensers, 
online at PEZ Candy.(here)
Unfortunately only available
 in the USA.
 
 The good news is that this collection 
offers a complete series in both 
normal and crystal versions, 
unlike other lines like 
My Little Pony and Paw Patrol PEZ.
Make room in your collections because 
you'll soon be able to add five new dispensers
 to your Sonic set in one go. 
Happy Collecting!

All the 8 Sonic PEZ Dispensers, with Euro and/or USA release.

A timeless cult classic from PEZ is back: PEZ Regular with Peppermint Candies... + NEW PEZ Adventcalendar is here!

PEZ International surprises us with 
a true classic! 
 
Many of us fondly remember the silver 
remake regular featuring PEZ Peppermint Candies 
on a striking dark blue PEZ blister card.
 First introduced to the European market in 2013, 
this iconic PEZ classic continues to be 
available under the "Mint" category in 
PEZ International’s European online shop.
 
But wait, PEZ has something truly 
astonishing up their sleeve!
Interestingly, these regulars made their
 debut back in the mid-90s at PEZ Candy USA, 
where they were also available in blue and gray. 
It seems that a few boxes have been rediscovered
 in the PEZ warehouse, and now these dispensers 
are ready to find their way back again to collectors.
 
We are thrilled that the regular dispensers
 have finally made their way to Europe, 
 the colors of the PEZ regulars look 
fantastic against the dark blue card.
Mid-90s release from PEZ Candy USA.
 
It's also great that this re-release offers 
new PEZ collectors the
 opportunity to add these dispensers 
to their collections! 

 This release beautifully highlights two retro classics: 
the PEZ Regulars and the Sugarfree PEZ Peppermint Candies, 
bringing them into a contemporary spotlight.
 
 You can now grab these fantastic pieces of 
PEZ History right here. 

The new PEZ Advent calendar is now also 
available online, it exclusively contains the
 new PEZ Elf mascot, you can find our post about it here.

FIRST LOOK: New Adventures Await: PEZ Pokémon Series Returns with Fresh Designs for 2025!

When the first Pokémon games were
 released in Japan on February 27, 1996,
 publisher Nintendo initially shipped just 
200,000 copies to retailers, 
assuming the games would have limited appeal. 
No one could have anticipated the global 
phenomenon Pokémon would quickly become.
Just five years later, 
in 2001, PEZ launched its first Pokémon
 series with five dispensers, which are now
 treasured parts of our collections.

Since then, our PEZ Pokémon collection 
has grown steadily, and PEZ has secured
 the license once again for 2025, 
bringing us an exciting new Pokémon series.
 
We are delighted to have the opportunity
 to give you a first look at the new PEZ 
Pokémon 2025 collection.
In the second quarter of 2025, 
both American and European collectors 
can look forward to a brand-new Gengar
 dispenser, featuring an entirely new mold.

Eevee is also returning to the lineup,
 with the new version giving us a playful wink.

And of course, 
Pikachu can't be left out, in 2025, we'll get a
 "Happy" version of Pikachu.
 
To help you when wondering which dispensers 
are the old ones and which are the new, 
we've put together a helpful pictorial 
that outlines the differences between
 the previous and current PEZ Pokémon dispensers. 
Dive in to see what’s changed!
 With the upcoming PEZ Pokémon series,
 we eagerly anticipate adding these fantastic 
new dispensers to our collections
—if only the wait weren’t so long!

Happy Collecting!

"Exclusive Sneak Peek: PEZ Wedding Candies on a Limited Edition Promo Blistercard!"

The PEZ wedding range boasts 26 
exquisite products that have captured the 
hearts of couples in German-speaking countries. 
This success can be attributed, 
in part, to a robust marketing budget from PEZ that was used 
to promoting this charming collection.
 Through engaging online campaigns, 
stunning photo and video shoots, 
and eye-catching appearances at wedding fairs,
 PEZ is reaching out to prospective brides 
and grooms, and making a lasting impression. 

This January, we had the pleasure of visiting PEZ at the
 Air & Love Wedding Fair in Vienna, 
where we were immediately enchanted by 
the remarkable, almost life-sized 
PEZ bride and groom dsigned specifically 
for the wedding fairs. (learn here more)
 
This Weekend, PEZ’s marketing team introduced
 a delightful initiative at the 
"HochzeitsWelt" wedding fair in Wels-Upper Austria, 
conveniently located near the PEZ headquarters. 
Attendees who purchased entry tickets were
 treated to a goodie bag upon arrival,
 and of course, PEZ was a featured inclusion!
 This clever strategy not only engages potential
 customers but also ensures that PEZ 
remains memorable for couples planning their special day.
 
We’re thrilled to offer you an exclusive 
first look at a newly designed 
PEZ promotional Wedding blister card that will 
particularly delight PEZ candy collectors worlwide.

This beautifully designed card features the 
PEZ wedding candies for the first time on card now,
 and it aims to encourage purchases in 
the PEZ online shop, where a special discount 
code offers 10% off all PEZ wedding favorites.
In the spirit of fairness, we’ve obscured the
 discount code with lovely pink roses,
 allowing PEZ to assess the success of this campaign.


SUPER HARD TO GET!
Keep an eye out for this promotional 
Wedding PEZ blister card, 
as it will not be available for purchase 
in stores or through the PEZ online shop.

The only option for us, is to hope 
that future wedding couples will list the 
candies online on any auction platform,
 to earn a little extra money for their wedding budget.

Regular PEZ Wedding Candies, different packages available here.

The promo PEZ Wedding blister card is sure 
to be a treasured and unique item.
Happy Collecting!
