Build-a-Bear Selling Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and My Melody Holiday Plush

Build-a-Bear announced a new Sanrio collection of plush toys that involves holiday stuffed animals of Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and My Melody. These can be purchased alone or in bundles that include themed Christmas clothing. 

The four Build-a-Bear plush this time are Red Bow Hello Kitty, Evergreen Cinnamoroll, Candy Cane Kuromi, and Merry My Melody. While the Hello Kitty looks similar to her typical incarnation aside from the red satin bow, the others feature special redesigns. So this Cinnamoroll is green like an evergreen tree with spotted ears. The Candy Cane Kuromi has a green hat with red and white striped ears. The My Melody’s hood is red, rather than pink, with holly on it. People can also add a Tiny Chum snowman plush. 

As for the outfits, they are sold separately or with the characters in the collection. Since they are standardized, they can be used with existing Sanrio Build-a-Bear plush. These items are the $13.50 Hello Kitty Holiday Dress, $13.50 Kuromi Holiday Dress, $13.50 Hello Kitty and Friends Holiday Sleeper, $18 Cinnamoroll Holiday Suit, and $13.50 My Melody Holiday Dress.

We saw a similar collection already appear at Build-a-Bear. In August 2024, it added Halloween versions of Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and Pompompurin. In that situation, Cinnamoroll had a candy corn appearance, while Pompompurin was a zombie.

The Holiday versions of Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and My Melody are now part of the Build-a-Bear Sanrio line.
