After already getting our first exciting glimpse of the limited Sweets & Snacks Expo Las Vegas PEZ Heart, restricted to just 1,000 pieces by PEZ Candy Inc., we have finally arrived at the moment that collectors around the world have been waiting for all year long.
The doors of the Sweets & Snacks Expo are now officially open, and with them comes one of the most anticipated highlights of the PEZ collecting calendar.
PEZ Candy Inc. is once again presenting its upcoming product lineup to the world, giving retailers, industry professionals, media representatives, and lucky visitors an exclusive first look at what is coming this year and beyond.
For PEZ collectors, these are the moments we simply cannot wait to share.
Every new dispenser, every surprise reveal, and every first look at future releases brings excitement and speculation throughout the collecting community. Which new characters will join our collections? Which special editions will become the next must-have items? And what surprises has PEZ prepared for us this time?
Now let’s take a closer look at the newest PEZ dispensers and find out which ones have already made it onto your wish list.
New Stitch Is Coming!
When PEZ first launched its Stitch lineup, they were confident it would be a success.
What nobody could have predicted, however, was just how enormously popular Stitch would become.
It has quickly become clear that Stitch is loved by collectors and fans of all ages, and the entire Stitch range has been flying off the shelves.
Since Stitch made his PEZ debut, the lineup has continued to grow.
From classic dispensers and PEZ Clips to the oversized Giant Stitch, PEZ has made sure collectors have no shortage of ways to welcome this beloved character into their collections.
With a fan-favorite character like Stitch, it was only a matter of time before PEZ expanded the lineup once again.
And now, another exciting Stitch dispenser is on its way to our collections!
Meet the brand-new Stitch with Sunglasses!
This cool new version features Stitch with his mouth closed and no teeth showing, giving him a relaxed and laid-back look.
To complete the tropical summer vibes, he’s sporting a stylish pair of sunglasses and comes mounted on a bright yellow stem that perfectly captures the spirit of sunshine, beaches, and vacation fun.
Expected release: August 2026.
Bluey Expands Into Halloween
When we first introduced the Bluey PEZ Easter assortment and told you to make sure to leave some space in your display cabinets, as we expected more Bluey dispensers to be on the way, it seems PEZ has now confirmed exactly that.
It looks like Bluey will become a regular feature across the holiday-themed PEZ assortments.
This year’s Halloween release is already proving the point.
While Bluey appears as the same dispenser that was included in the Easter assortment, Bingo receives a festive Halloween-themed design.
Bingo is shown in a spider costume printed on a pumpkin, while the pumpkin’s purple stem features a Bluey print. Completing the presentation is a Halloween-themed blister card featuring Bluey dressed as a skeleton.
Further below, you’ll find additional images of the upcoming Bluey Holiday dispensers for Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Featuring both Bluey and Bingo, these releases offer an exciting preview of the expanding Bluey PEZ lineup.
Expected release: September 2026.
The First Minecraft Mini PEZ Dispensers
While we will soon have the opportunity to add the new Skeleton and TNT dispensers to our collections, PEZ is not slowing down.
Two more Minecraft dispensers are now on the way, giving collectors even more reasons to expand their Minecraft PEZ displays.
What makes this release particularly exciting is that these will be the very first Minecraft Mini PEZ dispensers.
Scheduled for release is a Minecraft Chicken Jockey Twin Pack, featuring a Jockey on a mini stem and a Chicken on a mini stem.
With this set, collectors will be able to welcome the first-ever Minecraft Mini dispensers into their collections.
Expected release: September/October 2026 (USA only).
Pokémon Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary
This year is shaping up to be an unforgettable one for PEZ collectors and Pokémon fans alike!
And for a very special reason: Pokémon is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and PEZ has prepared some truly exciting releases to mark the occasion.
Not only will we soon be able to add the amazing Full Body Pikachu PEZ dispenser to our collections, but collectors can also look forward to a Giant Pikachu PEZ dispenser.
Even better, the stem will feature a special 30th Anniversary design, making it a must-have commemorative piece for every Pokémon and PEZ enthusiast.
What excites us most, however, is the upcoming Pokémon 30th Anniversary Gift Set.
This fantastic collector’s set includes Pikachu, Eevee, and two of Eevee’s most beloved evolutions: Espeon and Umbreon.
With such an iconic lineup, this gift set is sure to become a highlight of many collections around the world.
Expected release: September/October 2026 (USA only).
KPop Demon Hunters Joins the PEZ Family
The animated movie KPop Demon Hunters has become one of the biggest entertainment success stories in recent years.
As Netflix’s most-watched film, it was the first movie on the platform to surpass an incredible 600 million views.
The movie also earned critical acclaim, winning two Academy Awards and a Critics’ Choice Award.
We’re thrilled that PEZ has secured the licensing rights for KPop Demon Hunters, bringing these beloved characters to collectors around the world!
Starting in September, fans will be able to add a fantastic new PEZ Gift Set to their collections featuring Rumi (aka Popstar Royalty), Zoey (aka Cutest Maknae), Mira (aka Problem Child), and Derpy, the supernatural tiger.
The dispensers will be presented in a beautifully designed collector’s gift box, making this release a must-have for both PEZ collectors and fans of the movie.
Expected release: October 2026.
Bluey Christmas Releases Are Coming
As previously announced, our Bluey PEZ collection continues to expand, and starting in November, collectors will have even more exciting additions to look forward to.
Not only will we be getting new character molds, but we will also be able to add the very first Bluey Mini PEZ dispensers to our collections!
The new Christmas Twin Pack features brand-new molds for both Bluey and Bingo, presented on full-size PEZ stems.
These updated designs perfectly capture the charm of everyone’s favorite Blue Heeler sisters and are sure to be a hit with collectors and fans alike.
The excitement doesn’t stop here!
The upcoming Bluey Gift Set uses the same new molds, but with a fun family twist.
The full-size stems represent Chilli and Bandit, Bluey and Bingo’s mum and dad, while the mini stems feature Bluey and Bingo themselves.
Expected release: November 2026.
A Special Bluey Christmas Edition
While we’re still celebrating all the fantastic new additions to the Bluey PEZ lineup, there’s another holiday-themed release that we simply have to share with you!
After seeing Bingo featured on an Easter egg and learning that she will also be appearing on a Halloween pumpkin dispenser later this year, it only makes sense that Christmas would get its own special Bluey PEZ release.
This festive edition features Bluey and Bingo on a beautifully designed Christmas-themed card.
The artwork showcases the front porch of a house decorated with sparkling Christmas lights, garlands, candy canes, and even a reindeer in the yard, creating the perfect holiday atmosphere.
But the real highlight of this seasonal release is Bingo, featured with a cozy stocking cap atop a festive red Christmas sweater dispenser.
Expected release: October/November 2026.
A Christmas Puppy Steals Our Hearts
We’re not quite finished with this year’s holiday lineup yet, because PEZ still has another festive treat in store for us!
Puppies have a special talent for stealing our hearts in an instant, and that’s exactly what the new Christmas PEZ Puppy with a Stocking Cap has done.
With its adorable expression and festive holiday look, this charming dispenser captures everything we love about the Christmas season.
The combination of an irresistible puppy and a cozy stocking cap makes this one of the most heartwarming holiday releases of the year.
It’s the kind of dispenser that immediately brings a smile to your face and adds a touch of Christmas magic to any collection.
We can hardly wait to welcome this adorable new Christmas Puppy into our PEZ collections.
It is sure to become a favorite among collectors and dog lovers alike!
Expected release: September/October 2026.

We are now stepping into a truly historic moment for PEZ as we approach the 100th anniversary year in 2027.
And with such an incredible milestone ahead, we can already catch an exciting first glimpse of what PEZ has in store for collectors around the world.
After seeing so many wonderful seasonal Bluey releases throughout the year, one theme was still missing from the lineup, and now it’s finally here: the Valentine’s Day Bluey PEZ assortment!
In this charming new release, Bluey appears as the classic dispenser design, while Bingo is beautifully featured on a red heart.
She wears a cute headband decorated with hearts and playful jiggly antennae, perfectly capturing the fun and loving spirit of Valentine’s Day.
Both dispensers come presented on a specially designed Valentine’s Day themed card.
Expected release: January 2027.
