When I saw that new Jellycats were added to the site on September 2, I assumed they would be the Halloween plushies. But I was wrong; those have been out for a couple of weeks. You might not have even had your first PSL of the fall season, but get ready for winter, because holiday and Christmas Jellycats are here!

As surprised as I am, I’m secretly also super excited to get my hands on some of these new Jellycats. I totally believe Christmas starts defrosting on September 1, so I’m all for this early winter drop and ready to get my new holiday Jellycat. These holiday Jellycats are already so popular that there’s a limit of one each per customer, so even if you’re not ready to go into winter mode, it’s time to pick your favorite so it’s ready when the cold weather hits.

Here are some of my favorites from the new collection, including two that are totally appropriate to buy when it’s debatably still swimsuit weather.

New Cheese Holiday Jellycats I’m Buying Now

Amidst the strong holiday vibes with some of these Jellycats, there are a couple of food-themed Amuseables that you might keep out year-round.

Amuseables Cheese Fondue

$45

With six cheese-themed Jellycats already released this year, it’s about time we finally got a fondue! The only thing that would make this even better is if the sticks were removable.

Amuseables Raclette

$35

Nothing says winter quite like hot, boiling cheese. I’ve actually never had raclette, but this dish screams European holiday. The details here are too cute, from the cheese rind to the handle grip.

2025 Christmas Jellycats I Have My Eye On

Now, on to the very winter-themed Jellycats!

Amuseables Snow Globe

$40

This Jellycat is a nod to the impending winter wonderland that will probably be outside your window sooner than you think. The little gingerbread house inside the globe is adorable!

$40 at Jellycat

Amuseables Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows

$40

My favorite part of the holiday season is undoubtedly the treats. Hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream, and sprinkles is the ultimate holiday drink, but this Jellycat is adorable to keep on display year-round.

$40 at Jellycat

Amuseables Peanut Reindeer

$65

If this peanut reindeer came in a smaller size, it would already be in my cart. As someone with a peanut allergy, I have long admired the peanut amusables and wanted to get one of my own. The holiday-spirited reindeer peanut is the cutest I have ever seen!

$65 at Jellycat

Amuseables Letter To Santa

$55

One of my favorite holiday traditions growing up was mailing my letter to Santa at Macy’s with my grandma. I always felt it was a little counter-inturitive to mail the letter upstairs when Santa was greeting kids on the first floor, but hopefully it still got there! I love that this plushie even has a slit at the top to stick letters in.
