Hannah covers horror, sci-fi, and games at Collider, where she writes news and features, reviews new releases, and interviews the people who make them. She’s helping build out Collider’s gaming coverage, with Pokémon as one of her specialties. If she isn’t writing about a monster, she’s probably watching one on a tape from her VHS collection.

Mew makes a convincing alternative to a traditional Christmas angel. The Mythical Pokémon already floats, looks delighted to be included, and takes up considerably less space than putting a Charizard above the living room. There’s also something appropriate about giving one of the franchise’s most elusive creatures the best vantage point in the house.

Pokémon’s appeal has always extended well beyond the games, especially when collectors get to bring their favorites into everyday life, and anyone who has been to an event where a pop-up Pokémon Center is knows how much appeal there is. Holiday decorations offer another opportunity to do exactly that, with familiar characters replacing some of the usual snowmen and reindeer. Anyone who has already dedicated a shelf to Pokémon can probably find a few free branches, too.

Pokémon Center has officially launched its 2026 holiday collection, Winter Night Sky, featuring Mew, Pikachu, Piplup, Amaura, and more. Announced earlier this week, the range includes festive clothing and home decorations, with plush and plush keychains also part of the seasonal lineup. The collection has begun rolling out in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with the United Kingdom and Germany coming soon and select products still to follow.

Pokémon Center’s Holiday Collection Puts Mew Among the Stars

The collection’s nighttime theme gives the decorations a look beyond the familiar red-and-green Christmas palette. Aurora-inspired skies appear across pieces featuring Pokémon enjoying the winter setting, with Mew taking a prominent role. An iridescent Mew tree topper is among the standouts, giving the little Psychic-type a position above the rest of the display. The character selection also reaches beyond the franchise’s mascot. Espeon appears on seasonal clothing and an ornament, while Amaura and Piplup fit naturally into the wintry designs. A four-pin presentation set brings together Amaura, Pikachu, Mew, and Piplup against northern-lights-inspired backgrounds, offering a smaller collectible for fans without space for another figure.

For shoppers starting with the tree, the range includes individual character ornaments alongside globe-style decorations. The Mew tree topper is listed at $39.99, while the Winter Night Sky four-pin set costs $49.99. A Piplup Winter Night Sky ornament is $16.99, providing a less expensive way to add a favorite Pokémon to the holiday setup. The wider release includes stockings and table runners, plus gift-wrapping supplies for anyone determined to make the packaging match what’s inside. New additions to the collectible Holiday Pokémon Village are also joining the seasonal selection. Clothing options include knit sweaters and pajamas, giving Trainers with their favorite Pokémon something cozy to snuggle into for the season.

Pokémon Center has also teased exclusive bundles and another gift-with-purchase offer for Black Friday weekend, with further details to come. Stay tuned with Collider for Pokémon updates.
