New Valentine's Day Jellycats Are Here

If I’ve learned anything covering (and buying!) Jellycats in the past six months, it’s that early shoppers get the best selection.

This year alone, Halloween Jellycats arrived in August, and the Christmas collection dropped just a few weeks later in September. While both launches were months before their respective holidays, top styles sold out almost immediately.

Why am I telling you this? Because the Valentine’s Day Jellycat launch is upon us. And if you want to get your hands on the most coveted styles (hello, Heart Dragon!), you’re going to have to shop while the Christmas tree is still up. Here’s everything you need to know about the drop on December 17.

Valentine's Day Jellycats

From dragons to sweet treats, there's something for kids and kids at heart in the 2026 Jellycat Valentine's Day collection.

What are the Valentine’s Day Jellycats?

Stuffed animals are right up there with flowers and chocolates as far as Valentine’s Day gifts go. And Jellycats aren’t your average plushie.

If you’re not familiar, these super-soft, joyfully designed toys have a cult following. They’ve gone viral on social media and become incredibly popular with all ages. Not only are the styles whimsical and fun, but each toy is ethically made and designed to last a lifetime.

For the past year, any time the brand launches new styles, the internet takes notice. And on December 17, seven new Valentine’s Day Jellycats are in stock. The 2026 lineup includes:

Our top picks

Heart Dragon

#1 on my list is none other than the gorgeous Heart Dragon. Jellycat dragon styles are always popular, and this girlie pink-and-red color combo is guaranteed to brighten up even the dreariest February. The lush fur and gentle weight make her perfect for snuggling with during your favorite rom-com.

Cream Bunny with Rose

“Will you accept this rose?” This darling rendition of the classic Bashful Bunny is the most classic Valentine’s Day plushie on this list. She’d make a delightful gift all on her own or as an addition to a bae basket.

Koala with Message

Take your love letter to the next level by accompanying it with this sweet koala Jellycat. Despite his small size, this furry friend is loaded with luxurious textures and embroidered details.

Amuseables Colette Heart Macaron — VIA MERCHANT

Heart Macarons

Ooh la la! The Jellycat Amuseables line has done it again with two new heart macaron shapes: Colette and Arlette. These vibrant cookies outfitted in pink and red would look adorable perched on a desk or bookshelf. They’re also a great contender for a Galentine’s Day gift exchange.

Where to buy

The new Valentine’s Day collection is available on the official Jellycat website as of December 17. Select styles will also likely be available at Nordstrom, The Paper Store and small businesses.

As always: Be careful of Jellycat knock-offs. Many third-party sellers list faux plush using images of the real deal. If you see a price that is significantly lower than the list price through Jellycat, it’s likely too good to be true.
