Gearing Up for 2026: Fresh Licenses, New Designs, Same PEZ Magic! A Sneak Peek for PEZ Collectors...

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! 
Of course, the official announcements will 
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
  And now, it’s time to make a little more 
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!
 
Buckle Up! Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Are 
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!
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.
 
Building the Collection! 
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!

PEZ Welcomes the Holidays with the New Christmas Ugly Sweater Dispenser

PEZ officially rings in the holiday season today!

We all had a feeling this was coming, after last year’s
first-ever Online Exclusive 
Christmas Ugly PEZ Sweater 
launched through PEZ International and PEZ Candy Inc.,
 excitement was huge. The festive dispenser 
sold out in no time, and collectors 
everywhere were eager for more.
While most of us are still searching for, 
or missing, this year’s 
Ugly Sweater dispenser in the tube 
from the regular U.S. holiday assortment, 
PEZ is already surprising us with 
something new to enjoy.

Starting today, 
the third Christmas Ugly PEZ Sweater 
is available as an online exclusive, ready 
to bring holiday cheer to collectors worldwide.

The charming design comes in bright red, 
featuring the classic white PEZ logo,
and, for the first time, a smiling reindeer beaming
 from the front, all set on a green stem. 
Both the U.S. and European versions share the 
same dispenser, though the blister card and candy packs
differ slightly between regions. 
PEZ International even uses the same card design as last year. 
Available now for 
American collectors here (coming soon)
and for 
European PEZ fans here
this adorable dispenser is sure to sell out quickly. 
Don’t wait too long!

It won’t be long before this festive little gem brings 
some extra holiday cheer to PEZ collections everywhere.
Happy Collecting!

Golden Girl Alert! Is PEZ Teasing the 2026 New Year's Release?

 Yesterday, a photo taken by Matt O. at 
the PEZ Visitors Center made our hearts skip a beat.

Behind the glass of a display case, 
we spotted something that sent waves of
 excitement through the PEZ communities, 
all the lovely PEZ Presenter Girls, and among them,
 one we had never seen before
GOLDEN PEZ PRESENTER GIRL!
This stunning golden Girl features the same 
“Happy New Year” 
print as last year’s New Year’s PEZ Pals Boys, 
but with a sparkling twist,  instead of the usual 
PEZ logo on her golden cap, it now reads 2026.

Could it be? Are we getting an early look at
 this year’s New Year’s PEZ dispenser?
Thank you Matt O. for the pictures!
We reached out to PEZ for answers, but the
 company is keeping things tightly under wraps,
 neither confirming nor denying anything!

What we did manage to confirm, however,
 is that there will indeed be a New Year’s dispenser
 again this year, one for both American and European collectors.

PEZ kicked off this year with the trio of Peppermint 
PEZ Presenter Girls in January, and all signs 
now point to the year ending with the arrival 
of the Golden PEZ Presenter Girl in December!
No matter what the final design turns out to be, 
one thing is absolutely certain, 
the limited edition of 2,026 pieces online 
exclusive dispenser will sell out in no time,
 leaving a few heartbroken collectors in its wake, 
just like every year.

It’s getting very exciting!

Happy Collecting!

Holiday Magic on Wheels: Celebrating the Latest Wawa PEZ Hauler...

The holiday season always comes with 
certain essentials. Cookies, twinkling lights, 
cozy nights.
 For us PEZ collectors, there is one more, 
the brand-new Wawa PEZ Truck that rolls 
into our fleet every single year.
 
This tradition began back in 2010
 
We never imagined that one exclusive truck 
would become an entire Wawa convoy. 
Yet here we are, proudly welcoming truck 
number 14 into our lineup. 
Only 2011 and 2012 paused the journey. 
Every other year, Wawa has surprised us with a fresh
 and exciting design that keeps collectors eagerly
 looking forward to the next arrival. 
This year’s edition is another standout, a white truck paired 
with a red cab, featuring the classic 
Wawa goose wrapped in festive holiday lights.
 All of it set against a bold red background 
with the joyful slogan 
 
 And what else comes with every new Wawa truck? 
A beloved tradition of ours, 
presenting a brand-new Wawa pictorial for
 you to enjoy together with the latest release.
 
That is exactly the kind of seasonal 
PEZ joy we treasure. 
Huge thanks to Wawa and PEZ for gifting us 
another highlight in our collections. 
We are already excited to see which truck 
will roll in next year.
 Happy Collecting!

Holiday Magic at Walmart: TWO New Exclusive PEZ Dispensers Arrive!

Just like in the past few years, PEZ and Walmart 
are spoiling us again with not one, 
but two brand-new holiday PEZ dispensers, 
and we are absolutely losing it over here.
First up is a festive new Pikachu from the Pokémon lineup.
 Similar to last year’s release, 
Pikachu is once again rocking a Santa hat.
 This time he stands on a green stem with 
a white “Happy Holidays” print and cute 
little snowflakes dancing all around.
 
For all the Hello Kitty fans out there, 
Walmart and PEZ have a special treat
lined up as well. 
Hello Kitty comes dressed in classic Christmas colors, 
with her red look completed by a bright green bow.
 
Both dispensers come on specially designed holiday
 PEZ blister cards and are available  
exclusively at Walmart this season.
Hello Kitty and Pikacu Walmart Holiday Edition!
Oh, and while you're already shopping at Walmart, 
don’t forget to grab the brand-new Christmas Ugly 
PEZ Sweater. Seriously, you won’t want to miss it.
 
This is the most wonderful time of the
 year for collectors. Let’s get excited for even
 more special PEZ surprises heading our way. 
There’s definitely more to come!
 
So grab your keys, head to Walmart, and
Happy Collecting!

Where Did Our PEZ Candy Mascot Go?...And When It Might Return...

Back in May 2019, during the Sweets and Snacks Expo, 
PEZ released its very first Candy Mascot dispenser
 in a limited edition of just 1,000 pieces, 
and honestly, we all completely freaked out.
 
It wasn’t just a new mold,
 that little candy dude was adorable.
 One look and boom 💥
straight into our collector hearts. 
 
Back then, we never could’ve imagined what was coming.
By the end of last October, 
PEZ had rolled out  
25 different Candy Mascots
and our shelves filled up faster than 
we could rearrange our display cases. 
Some of us were basically playing Tetris with
 our PEZ cabinets just to make them fit! 
 
But now… it’s been almost a year since 
we’ve seen a new PEZ Candy Mascot hit the scene.
 And collectors everywhere are wondering: 
 
What happened to the mascot?
Did the mold break?
Did the PEZ team run out of ideas?
Or did our candy buddy just take a long vacation?😅
 
We’ve been getting tons of messages about it, 
so of course, we checked in with PEZ for you.
 But here’s the scoop 
(and you might want to sit down for this one) 
 
The Online Exclusive dispensers usually require
quite a long preparation and production
 phase, and since the next few releases 
are already planned and even partially produced,
 it’s becoming clear that there won’t be a new 
PEZ Candy Mascot among the upcoming Online Exclusives.
 
And brace yourselves, 2026 doesn’t look too
 promising either. 
PEZ already has other ideas and 
dispensers lined up for that year. 
 
It’s not that they’ve run out of ideas, 
the mascot has simply been given a little break.
 
As things stand right now, the PEZ Candy Mascot
 could make its grand return no sooner than 2027
just in time for PEZ’s 100th anniversary! 
Maybe they already have something truly 
special planned for that occasion.

For all those who missed out on the 
Halloween Franky Mascot PEZ 
dispenser last year, here's a pleasant surprise: 
PEZ International has brought it back to their 
online store in Europe! If you’ve been looking for 
this spooky collectible, now’s your chance to 
grab it before it disappears again! 
So for now, if you’re still missing a few mascots
 in your lineup, this is your chance to hunt them down. 
 
And if your mascot squad’s already complete… sit back,
 dream a little, and imagine what 
awesome new dispensers PEZ might 
be teasing for the future.
 
We’d love to hear your thoughts, how do you feel about the 
PEZ Candy Mascot sitting out for a while?
Drop a comment below.
 
Until then, keep collecting, keep trading, and as always
Happy Collecting!

Now available! New Design, Fresh Looks, Familiar Faces – Meet the New Barbie PEZ Trio!

Is it just us, or does it feel like it was only
 yesterday that we added those amazing 
new Barbie PEZ dispensers to our 
collections back in fall 2023?
 
Time really flies! 
So when the new PEZ marketing catalog for
 this year dropped earlier in 2025, 
and we spotted three brand-new Barbie PEZ dispensers, 
we were a little surprised to see another trio so soon… 
but honestly, our excitement quickly took over. 
Especially because KEN finally joins the 
Barbie PEZ lineup this year! 
Even though the new dispensers don’t feature
 a brand-new mold, they still shine in 
a completely fresh new look. 
 
PEZ has redesigned not only the stem colors 
but also the prints and the overall color scheme
 of all three dispensers, giving the iconic Barbie PEZ 
a stylish new twist. 
The best part? 
The three new Barbie dispensers are 
available now at PEZ International (right here!)
They’re exclusively made for the European market, 
so our American PEZ collector friends 
will need to call in a few favors from 
their European contacts
 to get their hands on them.
We know you’ll have lots of questions,
 so of course we’ve prepared plenty of photos for you, 
showing all the details and side-by-side comparisons
 of the old and new versions. 
And yes, a complete PEZ Barbie pictorial 
is coming your way too!
So many exciting PEZ updates, 
we’re practically doing somersaults with joy!
Let’s keep the fun rolling.
Happy Collecting!
