The turn of the calendar to December is being accompanied by a turn in the weather for many of us in North America as the Polar Vortex blasts us with frigid air. But Pez is keeping our heart warm with new pez and one limited edition exclusive after another! There are plenty of new pez expected through the end of the year and a fabulous lineup of pez releases planned for 2026 that we will tell you about in this newsletter! We even have some convention and gathering dates for 2026!
We hope you all enjoyed a safe and Happy Thanksgiving and long weekend! The holiday season is in full swing and there are plenty of pez to decorate with and enjoy for the holidays, plus more that can be enjoyed year-round! Be sure to use the My Favorites Wishlist function to create your pez Wish List to share with friends and family to make their gift giving easy!
We have plenty of different pez from vintage to the newest releases, along with shoes for pez, Pez Grandstand displays, price guides, T-Shirts and accessories, and licensed items, so there is something for every pez collector! We also offer gift certificates to make your holiday gift giving really easy! And, we are happy to help out with those Secret Santa Gifts as well!
Pez has released a 2025 Limited Edition Exclusive Reindeer Ugly Christmas Sweater. The pez features a red sweater with dark red trimming that says PEZ and features a Reindeer head in the middle of the sweater. The card is the same card that was used for the exclusive limited edition 2024 Santa Ugly Christmas Sweater pez and little did we know that the card foreshadowed what was to come with the stack of Santas and Reindeer up the side of the card! This pez exclusive is now sold out and retired, but we still have a few in stock!
There is also a new 2025 Santa Ugly Sweater that has Red Sleeves. It has the image of Santa on top and PEZ below whereas 2024 Limited Edition Santa Ugly Sweater had green sleeves and had the PEZ on top and Santa below. This 2025 Santa Ugly Sweater only comes in a tube and we have them in stock now in the Pez Collectors Store.
Pez also released a 2025 Limited Edition Exclusive Bronze Nutcracker pez. The Nutcracker features are the same as the original Nutcracker released in 2021 with the three large circle ornaments in a line down the hat and circular eyes with a line on top. These sold out and were retired in the USA very quickly! The pez comes mint on a Happy Holidays card. We have just a couple left in the Pez Collectors Store.
Another Exclusive Pikachu Christmas Pez was released but this time, he comes on a green stem that says Happy Holidays and has snowflakes. Pikachu is winking and has a red stocking cap trimmed with white. These come mint on a Pokemon Christmas Card featuring Pikachu in a stocking cap. These are in stock now!
There is a new Exclusive Hello Kitty Christmas Pez that comes in two variations available in the Pez Collectors Store. The pair of 2025 Christmas Hello Kitty Pez variations each sport a different shade of green bow, and have thick or thin whiskers. These Hello Kitty pez both come mint on a Christmas cards with a Christmas tree and presents and ornaments to brighten the holidays for all Hello Kitty fans!
The Limited Edition PAMP Suisse Nutcracker PEZ with 30gm Silver Candies comes in Box with Certificate of Authenticity. Only 3000 of these were produced and they feature the 2024 Nutcracker Pez with a green stem, triangular shaped eyebrows and two decorative loops on the hat. The front of the 5-gram Pez Candy features the weight and purity of the bar, sandwiched between the letters P.A.M.P and a nutcracker on either side. The back of the silver Pez Candy displays the iconic PEZ logo. The silver candies are in a plastic box with the PEZ logo on the lid of the box. Each boxed set comes with a certificate of authenticity. We have these ordered and they should be in stock around the middle of December!
The new mold My Melody with a Blue Bow Pez is in stock now in the Pez Collectors Store. The new mold has both ears bent to her right. The stem and head are a light pink and she is sporting a light blue bow!
The 2025 Edition Wawa Christmas Lights Red Background Truck Pez has a red cab with a white trailer. The sides of the trailer show the Wawa goose flying through the red background with strings of Christmas lights, and the Wrapped in Wawa Cheer Stamp that first appeared last year is reused again this year as well. The truck is dated with 2025 Edition printed on the sticker on the side. The truck comes mint on card with a red background, also showing the Wawa goose, the Christmas lights and the Wrapped in Wawa Cheer stamp, along with 3 packs of pez candy! These are in stock now!
The 2025 Target Bullseye Dog Winter Holiday Stocking Cap Promotional Pez is available in the Pez Collectors Store. This cute 2025 Target promotional pez features Bullseye the Dog wearing a winter holiday stocking cap. He comes on a winter holiday card featuring a wintery scene with a snowman, fox and cat reminiscent of Frosty the Snowman scenes. Even the Pez Candy Brick Mascot in the upper left corner of the card is decked out like the Abominable Snowman from Rudolph! This jolly holiday pez comes mint on card with 3 rolls of pez candies! We also have the 2024 Target Bullseye Dog on Holiday Card and the 2025 Target Bullseye Spot the Dog in Shopping Cart Promotional Pez in stock!
We have just a few of the PEZ Miniverse Mini Treats with 3 mini Pez Dispenser and Pez Candy Makings balls left in stock. These adorable candy making balls contain three different tiny dispensers on card, trays to make pez candies, a mold to make tiny candies, instructions and all the equipment!
Blueberry Candy made its first debut at Easter last year, only available with the Peeps Pez Assortment. We now have packs of Blueberry Candy, available with 6 rolls of pez candys! This flavor was a refreshing change of pace and we really like it! Be sure to add some Blueberry flavored Pez Candy to you shopping list and try it out!
December 15 is the first scheduled ship date for Easter pez for 2026 and of course we have our order placed. We are really excited about the new Full Body Easter Bunny Ornament. The Full Body Bunny mold is the same, but the facial expression is different and the egg is blue instead of a light green egg. The gift box also has refreshed graphics, giving this ornament a whole new look! We will have these listed just as soon as our order arrives from Pez!
We are expecting that Pez will be releasing a golden Happy New Year Pez Presenter Girl if the display at the Visitor’s Center is anything to go by! The Golden Girl has Gold hair, a Gold Hat Band that is dated 2026 instead of PEZ and the gold stem is printed Happy New Year. We will take a guess that Pez will release these as an exclusive limited-edition, possibly with only 2026 pieces worldwide, sometime this month, before the New Year!
Looking into the future, in January, we expect to receive a shipment from Europe with the three new European Barbie Pez. These long-awaited Barbies have updated clothes, hair, and accessories, just as any Barbie should! These new European Barbies are not scheduled for release in the USA, but we will have them in stock in the Pez Collectors Store.
Also heading our way in January from Europe are the Jurassic World Explorers Pez. Included in this new pez assortment are T-Rex, Triceratops, and Brachiosaurus Dinosaurs. These new dinosaur pez are also European only releases, not scheduled for release in the USA. They should be arriving in the Pez Collectors Store in January!
In the USA, the Donut with Chocolate Icing and Sprinkles Pez, and Cheese Pizza Slice Pez will be added to the Pez Treats Assortment beginning January 15. Of course, as new additions to an existing Assortment, the pez will be flowed in to the Assortments and existing cases of inventory that has already been packed and boxed will be sold and shipped from the warehouse first, so it could be a little while before they show up in the assortments.
January 15 is also the first scheduled ship date for the Easter Bluey Pez. Bluey Pez will be released for the holidays on different holiday themed blister cards. Bingo will also be released as an image on a holiday appropriate dispenser, so for Easter, Bingo’s image will appear on a light purple egg dispenser. The card features Bluey and Bingo wearing Easter Bunny Ears and Easter Eggs scattered on the ground. Bluey and Bingo will make their next appearance at Halloween, then at Christmas and finally at Valentines Day, 2027.
For Easter 2026, there will be a new salmon colored Easter Egg in Tube featuring a Blue Bunny and a Chick. The eggs will come only in tubes.
We will provide photos and more details as we are allowed and/or as they become available. Meanwhile, enjoy this summary of the 2026 Pez Plan (always subject to change)! The date listed is the planned release date or first scheduled shipping date from Pez Candy, Inc. for the USA:

With ATX being held every 3 years and coming again in 2028, Michigan Pez Convention taking a break until at least 2028, the 2026 calendar is feeling a bit lighter. We have confirmation on some dates and know that registration is open for some of the following conventions and gatherings in the USA:
- April 18, 2026 KC Pez Gathering – Kansas City, MO, hosted by Dru Lepper and Tony Jordan. Information is available and registration is open at www.kcpez.com
- May 16, 2026 Maryland Pez Gathering – Woodlawn, MD. Host Katie Chrzanowski has confirmed the 2026 date and I am sure registration and details will be available soon on the Maryland Pez Gathering Facebook page.

- The Virtual Pez Convention which is also hosted by Morgan Rhinehart and Landon Proctor will move to a single Fall event in 2026 rather than both a Spring and a Fall event. Recall, this was started during Covid so we could all get together through a virtual event, but conventions are back now! The date of the Fall VPC event has not been set, but we will keep you informed!
That’s all the news for this month. It’s been a great year at the Pez Collectors Store and we wish all of our customers, new and old, a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, and season’s greetings to all! May you all enjoy the blessings this holiday season has to offer!
We wish each and every one of you a joyful holiday season and Happy Pezzing!
All the best,
Chris Jordan
