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.

You can get the new PEZ Advent calendar
 directly online 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!

Hello Kitty Magic: Unveiling the 2025 PEZ Rainbow Collection – A Colorful Celebration of Iconic Cuteness!

If you search for Hello Kitty on Wikipedia,
 it becomes clear just how incredibly 
successful the iconic Hello Kitty 
brand has become worldwide.

There is virtually nothing that you can't find 
in the Hello Kitty product range, 
from toasters, vacuum cleaners, guitars, and perfume,
 to jewelry, credit cards, televisions, cell phones,
 computer accessories, and even cars.

Entire theme parks, airplanes, and trains 
have been designed around Hello Kitty, 
showing her global influence.
New European Hello Kitty "Rainbow" PEZ assortment.
Hello Kitty holds a special place in our 
PEZ collections, as PEZ and Sanrio have 
collaborated for decades, bringing us many 
beautiful and unique PEZ dispensers and items.

We recently celebrated Hello Kitty's 50th birthday
 with a stunning crystal purple anniversary 
dispenser for our collections. 
For many years, it’s been a tradition 
that PEZ releases a new Hello Kitty series 
annually, and 2025 will be no exception.

We’re excited to give you an 
exclusive first look 
at the upcoming 
Hello Kitty PEZ 
"Rainbow" 
series, debuting in the second quarter of 2025 in Europe.

This collection features three new designs:

The Rainbow Kitty, 
with white bow,  on a light blue stem
 
The Classic Kitty on a purple stem
 with a print of white Hello Kitty heads on the stems.
 
The Hello Kitty with a crystal blue rainbow bow, 
which perfectly complements the 
blue stem of the Rainbow Kitty.
It’s likely that one or two of these 
dispensers will make their way into 
the American PEZ Candy USA range.
While we have to wait until next year, 
the anticipation only adds to the excitement... 
though the wait is definitely tough!
Happy Collecting!

Exclusive First Look: The MTR PEZ Puck: A Collector's Dream for the 30th Anniversary

We've seen a few PEZ pucks in the past, 
often produced for special customer 
requests as part of advertising 
campaigns for their own branded 
PEZ dispensers. 
 
These limited editions are highly coveted
 in collector circles due to their small 
production runs, making them harder to acquire.

Now, it's that time again, and we’re thrilled 
to give you an exclusive first look 
at the new PEZ advertising puck for MTR.
 
The new MTR PEZ Puck 
has everything what 
collectors love to see. 
 
No expense was spared, 
featuring a beautifully designed blister card, 
two specially made PEZ candies, 
and a striking green-printed 
PEZ puck that grabs attention.
 We’ve confirmed that a sufficient quantity
 has been produced, 
ensuring a better chance for 
collectors to get one.

This unique item was created for MTR
a German company celebrating 
its 30th anniversary. 
MTR specializes in keeping people mobile, 
offering the latest therapeutic equipment 
on prescription to aid rehabilitation
 and recovery at home.
Gratulation MTR zum 30 Jährigen Jubiläum, auf viele weitere tolle Jahre-in Bewegung :)
 
 This is undoubtedly another must-have
 for us, and like you, we’re already wondering
 how we can get our hands on one. 
But that’s part of the thrill 
of our hobby, isn’t it?
Happy Collecting!

Epic Marvel PEZ Drop: Sam Wilson's Captain America and Red Hulk Take the Spotlight 2025

The Marvel Sam Wilson Captain American PEZ dispenser 
was first showcased by PEZ
 at the 2023 Sweets and Snacks Expo. 
After that, however, news went quiet,
 and the release was postponed to January 2025.

But the wait is nearly over—our Marvel PEZ collections
 will soon be expanding!

Not only will we be adding the new 
Captain America PEZ dispenser, 
but we’re also excited to see a 
brand-new Red Hulk (new Mold) PEZ joining the lineup!
Available from January 2025 in the U.S.
For those unfamiliar, in the comics, 
Red Hulk’s powers are similar 
to the green Hulk’s, but with a few key differences. 
Red Hulk, a.k.a. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, 
can transform at will, and rather than 
getting stronger with anger, 
he begins to glow hotter and hotter as his rage builds.
These two new PEZ dispensers arrive
 just in time for the highly anticipated
 Marvel blockbuster 
Captain America: "Brave New World" 
where Harrison Ford portrays President 
Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, 
and Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson, 
the new Captain America.

Both dispensers will be available individually,
 either in polybags or on blister cards, 
and fans can also grab them 
together in a special twin pack.
So, it’s time to make some room on your 
Marvel PEZ display—two new heroes 
are about to arrive!
Happy Collecting!

Sweet Surprises: Unveiling the New 2025 Valentine's PEZ Collection

Even though Valentine's Day may still 
seem far off, PEZ is already preparing 
behind the scenes. 
The Valentine's dispensers are in production, 
and PEZ starts to ship them to retailers in November.

For us, that means it’s time to give you
 a sneak peek at the upcoming dispensers 
that we’ll soon be hunting down!

There are three fantastic new designs on the way:

First, the bears—two new ones to add to our collections! 
We’ve adored the PEZ bears for years, 
with their many variations, 
and we’re always thrilled when new ones are released.

This time, we’re getting a brown Valentine’s bear 
with adorable pink ears, 
paired with a pink stem adorned with white hearts.

Then there’s the white Valentine’s bear, 
featuring a red heart over its left eye, 
sitting atop a red stem with white heart prints.

USA only, the all new Valentine's Day PEZ assortment.
And of course, we can’t forget the hearts! 
Our display cases have made room for plenty of 
them over the years, 
and now it's time to shift things 
around once more for a new addition. 

The crystal pink Valentine’s heart comes 
with a charming purple heart printed on it,
 perfectly matching its purple stem.

As mentioned earlier, these lovely dispensers
 will soon be available at your local stores. (USA only)

We can’t wait to welcome these three 
new treasures into our collections.

Happy Collecting!

PEZ Treats Welcomes the Avocado: A Superfood Addition to the Fun Treats Lineup!

With the PEZ Treats range, 
PEZ has created a trendy and fun 
line of dispensers, designed in-house, 
that captures the spirit of the times. 

This playful series features popular 
food-themed designs.

The avocado, hailed as a superfood for
 its rich content of vitamins B,
 potassium, and magnesium, 
is both healthy and delicious.

Starting in January 2025, PEZ Candy Inc. (USA)
will release the avocado dispenser, 
adding to the existing lineup of 
popcorn, cupcake, pizza, taco,

for you, showcasing all the dispensers released to date.

Stitching Together Memories: The 2025 STITCH PEZ Collection Brings Disney Magic to Life...

The story of Lilo & Stitch has captured
 the hearts of both children and adults worldwide. 
With four films and 65 episodes, the beloved 
Disney series has left a lasting mark. 
Few Disney franchises boast such an 
impressive volume of material.

In classic Disney fashion,
 Lilo & Stitch tells the heartwarming 
tale of a lonely young Hawaiian girl named Lilo. 
She adopts a strange "dog" she names Stitch, 
only to discover that her new pet is actually 
an alien genetic experiment created for mass destruction.
Stitch, available in the first quarter of 2025.
Stitch was engineered to destroy cities,
 but after finding a home with Lilo on Earth, 
he learns that belonging somewhere is 
far more important than wreaking havoc.

Angel, the delicate pink female counterpart
 to Stitch and Experiment 624, 
has the power to charm others with her voice. 
There’s an undeniable spark between Angel and Stitch,
 and the two share a special bond.

At this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo in May, 
PEZ revealed their latest collection featuring Stitch, 
confirming they had secured the license. 
We were thrilled by the three new dispensers in the range.
The official release is set for early 2025, 
and we’re excited to share the 
first official images with you! 
Collectors in both Europe and the USA will be able 
to get their hands on 
Stitch, 
Angel, 
and a special 
Aloha Stitch 
dispenser, which features Hawaiian 
hibiscus flowers on the stem.
European Stitch PEZ Blistercard, thank you PEZ International for the pictures.
In the USA, fans will also have the 
chance to purchase a twin pack featuring Stitch and Angel.
USA release, Stitch on Blistercard and as Twin Pack.
With a brand-new PEZ collection on the horizon, 
2025 is set to start on a high note. 
We can’t wait to welcome these new 
dispensers into our collections!
Happy Collecting!
