Pokémon Center Reveals Exclusive Christmas Tree Pikachu Plush for New Holiday 2026 Collection

The official Pokémon Center has revealed a new Christmas merchandise collection featuring Pikachu and several other Pokémon preparing for the holiday season.
The new “Getting Ready for Christmas!” collection introduces an adorable plush of Pikachu dressed as a Christmas tree alongside festive toys, clothing, decorations and other accessories inspired by the celebrations.

Pokémon is celebrating its 30th anniversary throughout 2026, marking three decades since Pokémon Red and Green first launched in Japan for the original Game Boy in February 1996.

Pikachu has become the franchise’s most recognizable mascot, regularly appearing in seasonal merchandise collections that give the Electric-type Pokémon new costumes and accessories inspired by different holidays.

Pokémon Center has already begun its Christmas celebrations in the US this year, having recently launched the “Winter Night Sky” merchandise collection featuring Mew, Pikachu, Piplup and Amaura across ornaments, decorations, clothing and home accessories.

That release was accompanied by three new additions to the Holiday Pokémon Village, including two illuminated buildings and a smaller figure featuring Yamper and Joltik.

The “Getting Ready for Christmas!” collection will be released at official Pokémon Center stores throughout Japan on October 24, 2026, with sales beginning earlier through Pokémon Center Online at 10:00 AM JST on October 22.

A US release has also been officially confirmed for part of the collection, with The Pokémon Company International announcing that the festive Pikachu plushes will be coming to Pokémon Center US.

At the time of writing, it doesn’t appear that the wider range of clothing, decorations and home accessories will receive a US release, though this could be subject to change.
