ThePokémonCenter has just revealed its Christmas plushie lineup, and it features an adorable Pikachu all ready for winter. ThePokémonCompany releases new merch every year for Christmas and other holidays and seasonal events. This year’s designs are all adorable, but the Pikachu might just be the cutest that the company has ever released.
The little 9-inch-tall Pikachu sports an incredibly soft feel and look, and iswearing a Santa hat, an embroidered fuzzy scarf, and a little light-blue sweaterwith a Staryu detail in the middle. The Pikachu’s little face and signature pink cheeks peek out from between the scarf and hat, and its normally perky ears trail down behind its head, pressed down by the hat. The adorable Pikachu is part of the 2024PokémonHoliday collection and is available to purchase from thePokémonCenterfor $27.99.

Pokémonmerch tends to be either very cute or very epic, and this year’s seasonal releases are definitely trending toward the “very cute” side. The2024PokémonHoliday Collectionis slated to be the biggest ever, witheverything from household goods like pillows, coasters, and mugs, to Christmas tree ornaments and, of course, plushies.
The plushies that have been revealed so far have a much softer and more pastel style than is typical forPokémonmerch, and I love the look. The winter-ready Pikachu and his friends are incredibly cuddly, and it’s certain to win over many fans' hearts. I won’t be surprised to find it sold out soon.Pokémonfans can get their hands on Pikachu, Shayman, and the rest of the seasonal holiday-style plushes on the Pokémon Center website right now to get it in time for the holidays.
