Halloween Jellycats Are Coming! And Our Editors Are Torn Over Which One Is Cutest

Halloween is still a long way away. But the date (nor 90-degree temperature!) is stopping the internet from getting in on the fun early. In recent weeks, we’ve seen The Home Depot bring back its iconic giant skeleton, and Starbucks announced the beloved PSL is returning at the end of the month.

Now, viral toy brand Jellycat is ushering in spooky season with an array of whimsical plush friends dropping on August 18. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Halloween Jellycat collection.

What are the 2025 Halloween Jellycats?

This year’s Jellycat Halloween collection has a little something for everyone. You’ll find familiar friends, like Peanut and Bartholomew Bear, dressed in seasonal costumes. Classic shapes like pumpkins, skulls and ghosts get an eerie upgrade, while seasonal critters like bats, owls and crows make an appearance. And since you can’t have too many tricks without treats, there are also nods to seasonal favorites like candy apples.

Here’s the full lineup:

Across the board, I’m impressed with the blend of nostalgic Halloween shapes and quirky designs. Plus, every seasonal toy aligns with Jellycat’s ethical standards and commitment to quality, safety and sustainability. (AKA these are gifts and decor you can feel good about.)

Our editors’ top picks

We tapped our team’s plushie experts, and Reader’s Digest editors are torn over which Halloween Jellycats are an immediate “add to cart.” Here’s what they had to say:

Bartholomew Bear Spider

“There’s just something irresistibly cute about a plushy in costume,” says shopping editor Mary Henn. “I’m a total sucker for Bartholomew Bear, though, especially when he’s decked out for the holidays. And of course, he’s in a fuzzy little spider outfit for Halloween. I think it’s the perfect sweet and spooky gift for all ages.”

I’m a sucker for the Jellycat animal designs, and Heccaty Hootnightly is no exception. This stout little owl has the most whimsically annoyed facial expression, and I love his iconic black, purple and orange color scheme. I plan on nestling him in a wreath above my bar cart!

Toffee Apple

Emily's Pick

“Candy apples are my favorite spooky season delicacy, so I’m a little biased,” says shopping editor Emily Way. “But between the little feet and creepy-cute smile, this sweet Toffee Apple plush stole my heart—and it’s not too unsettling for the little ones. Personally, I find her charming enough to display year-round!”

Content director Nicole Doster admits: “Ooky Jack O’Lantern is short, squat and absolutely adorable. I can’t get enough of his cute grinning face! It’s the kind of plush I wouldn’t mind having sit on my desk all throughout the fall.”

Broox Bat

Gina's Pick

Digital product manager (and Jellycat super-fan) Gina Burke has her eyes set on Broox Bat this spooky season. “As a mom of two, I can attest that kids love playing with stuff that has wings since you can pretend to make it fly. Broox will be an adorable addition to our seasonal Jellycat collection. I love his tiny nose and hands paired with oversized ears. Plus, it’s a good educational opportunity as I can teach my kids about bats’ nocturnal behavior, echolocation, etc.”

Where to buy

New Halloween Jellycats will be available to shop on the brand’s website starting Monday, August 18. At this time, you’ll also be able to score some restocks from previous years, such as Mummy Bob, Skeleton Bob and Spookipaws Cat. Prices start at $28.

Seasonal launches tend to sell out fast, so we suggest shopping early if there’s a Halloween Jellycat you must have. Something wickedly whimsical this way comes!

30 Math Puzzles (with Answers) to Test Your Smarts

Math is not everyone’s favorite, understandably. Hours of math homework and difficult equations can make anyone sour on the subject.

Will Cicadas Destroy Your Garden? 10 Things You Need to Know

It’s easy to wince thinking about the mass emergence of insects like cicadas. Their numbers can reach millions per acre, creating a near-deafening buzzing chorus. So it’s understandable that questions like, “Will cicadas eat my plants?” immediately spring to mind. But cicadas are also pretty fascinating and play important roles in the ecosystem. “Cicadas inspire wonder in our world!” says Jennifer Hopwood, senior pollinator conservation specialist at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. “They spend most of their life underground next to the same plant roots. Somehow, these creatures are able to track the years that pass by and time their emergence with other periodical cicadas in the region to overwhelm predators. They are amazing little critters.” Here’s a rundown of what to know about cicadas, good and bad, including whether or not they eat plants and how to protect your trees during an emergence.
