This is the line “Snowy Softies” which release coincided with the Christmas 2025 line, which is called “Pokémon Holiday Blessings”. It was exclusive during the Christmas period in Pokémon Centers.
Released on the same day as the Christmas line, and often considered part of it, the Snowy Softies line features snowman plush of Pikachu, Snorlax and Slowpoke, and a snowball rolling Pikachu plush.
I got the Pikachu Snowman plush as well as the snowball rolling Pikachu.
Snowball Rolling Pikachu
Release date: December 2025
Barcode: 72-10725-101
The plush is about 18cm tall. Pikachu has a soft but smooth fur texture, with embroidered face details. He wears a light blue beanie hat with a Vanillite on it and a white squared scarf with a bow in the back. The snowball has a has a glistening, fluffy texture that imitates the fluffy snow.
Pikachu is in a walking pose, with one foot forward and another backwards. He holds his front paws on the snowball, pushing it forward as if rolling it on the floor. He has a male type tale.
It has several tush tags on its side above its right leg, which have the standard Pokémon Center info on it with the Pokéball logo, Pokémon Center, year (©2025) and the usual copyrights. Attached on a tiny loop underneath these is the tag, which is quite large and has a basic Pokéball design on the front, and the usual Pokémon Center info on the back, as well as the line of plush, the name of the plush and barcode. This is the UK version.
Pikachu Snowman
Release date: December 2025

The plush is slightly smaller than the Snowball Rolling Pikachu, but its hat makes up for the height. It has a glistening, fluffy texture that imitates the fluffy snow. The mouth and eyes are embroidered, and its cheeks are airbrushed on.
It wears the same beanie and scarf as the Snowball Rolling Pikachu does, although its scarf misses the tassels.

I like to dress up my house “geeky” with the holidays. Christmas and winter themed merchandise is great to put out around Christmas time. I’m not that big of a fan of characters dressed up as Santa or simply holding presents; it’s too cliché. But snowmen are always cute.
I already have a couple of Pikachu snowmen, namely the 2014 and 2017 ones, so I felt like I needed to add this one to the collection. The snowball rolling Pikachu is also adorable and finishes the scene. It’s been a while I felt that the Pokémon Center released a Pikachu snowman that actually looks like a snowman. I recall the 2016 one looked more like a winter / white Pikachu than a snowman. I do miss a few, like the 2012 and 2015 ones, which were hard to get here in those days. But with the UK now having a Pokémon Center, it was easy to get these.
They only get put out for display halfway in November (when Sinterklaas arrives, as that’s when the festive winter season for me starts) and stays for the duration of the winter period, usually till about end February as I clean up the winter stuff then to prepare for my birthday early March. Only pure Christmas decorations go on January 6 (like Santa’s and Christmas trees). So the snowmen can be enjoyed a little longer.
Because of the wintery theme this does mean I don’t see him as much as some of my other “general” merchandise as they’re boxed away. But that makes them more enjoyable when they’re out. It’s more home decoration in that way as well, and sits proudly in the living room. I usually create a “snow” corner with a snow blanket and other snowmen plush.
If you like wintery or Christmas themed plush, these ones are great!
Got any more details / information you think I should add? Or did I get something wrong? Do you own the same plush or any other Christmas / winter themed merchandise? Do you agree or disagree with my findings? Let me know in the comments below!
