Pokémon Christmas JunbiChu! 2026: Official Christmas Merch Now at LEALEA MART
Share
Pikachu is wearing a Christmas tree costume, Tangrowth is playing Christmas tree, and Clodsire is pulling the sleigh. It can only mean one thing: the holidays are coming, and the Pokémon are getting ready.
The Pokémon Christmas JunbiChu! collection (クリスマスじゅんびチュウ！) from Pokémon Center Japan has arrived at LEALEA MART, with around 30 items across plush, party décor, cosy apparel, accessories and stationery. If you’re looking for official Pokémon Christmas merchandise outside Japan, this is a very good place to start.
🎄 What Does “JunbiChu” Mean?
The title is a Japanese pun. “Junbi-chū” (準備中) means “getting ready” or “in preparation”. “Chu” is Pikachu’s cry. Together, the name means “Pikachu is getting ready for Christmas”.
The exclusive artwork shows Pikachu and friends helping out with the preparations. Tangrowth is playing Christmas tree and Clodsire is pulling a sleigh, and everyone looks like they’re having a great time.
🛍️ What’s in the Collection?
🧸 Plush & Mascots
- “Present Delivery” Plush: Pikachu & Clodsire. The sleigh-pulling duo from the artwork.
- Mochi-Fluffy Plush: “Tree Play” Pikachu. Pikachu dressed in a Christmas tree costume.
- Mascots (3 designs): Pikachu “Snacking”, Pikachu “Covered in Snow”, and Pikachu with Porygon2’s toy.
- Fluffy Doll and Pika-Ear Santa Hat Keychain for smaller, giftable pieces.
🎉 Party & Home Décor
- Tabletop Mirror Ball: Blacephalon-inspired. The design lights up and spins, which makes it great for party time.

- Tangrowth Party Headband for the party itself.
🧥 Cosy Christmas Wear
- Christmas Sweater: Tangrowth (M / L). Fluffy mohair sleeves make this the standout apparel piece.
- Christmas Cardigan: Stunfisk (M / L). A bold design that stands out, and a welcome treat for Stunfisk fans.
- Hooded Muffler: Pikachu.
👜 Bags & Accessories
- Big Drawstring Bag and Pouch

✉️ Stationery & Paper Goods
A4 Clear File, Message Cards, Sparkly Puffy Stickers, and two Mini Card Sets (Pikachu, and Pikachu & Paldean Wooper). They’re ideal for holiday notes and gift wrapping.
🎉 Why This Collection Stands Out
A lot of Christmas merchandise is the same design on different products. This collection works from one idea, with Pokémon at work preparing for the holidays. The result is a mix of pieces you can use at the party, wear through the cold months, and give as gifts.
It also gives some less-featured Pokémon a turn. Tangrowth, Clodsire, Blacephalon and Stunfisk all appear in the collection, so fans of those Pokémon have official Christmas goods of their own.
⚡ Limited Stock: Order Early for Christmas
Seasonal Pokémon Center releases sell out quickly, and Christmas items usually go fastest once the holiday gets close. Stock isn’t guaranteed to be restocked once it’s gone. Because items ship internationally from Japan, ordering early also helps your parcel arrive in time for the holidays.
