Get Ready for Blossom Buddies: Winter Delights (Pins & Plushies!)

Get ready to meet 8 unique winter flavor themed puppies in plush and pin form, from peppermint to cherry cordials, launching for Pintopia 2025!

All 8 designs will be unlockable as enamel pins, and we'll be starting the campaign with 4 possible plush, with the possibility for the other 4 to be available as extra stretch goals depending on how the campaign goes.

 Let's meet the puppies!

First up is Candy the Peppermint puppy! Candy is inspired by the Christmas season- specifically red peppermint. She loves winter celebrations and can always uplift spirits with her minty-fresh energy and outlook on life. She can be found twirling in the snow, handing out candy canes to passerby's!  As soon as the temperature drops, she’s the first to suggest a cozy movie night, wrapped in blankets with all her friends around.

Next we have Candy's girlfriend- Clove the Gingerbread Puppy! Also inspired by the Christmas season, specifically gingerbread houses :-) Clove is the best gingerbread architect in all of Wooltopia, designing the perfect homes to cozy up in all year long.  With her smart and innovative mind, she’s always crafting new ideas, whether it’s a new detailed cookie roof or a never before seen marshmallow chimney! Clove’s calm confidence makes her a go-to friend for advice and warmth.

Then Caramel, the extra sweet Sugar Cookie Puppy! She's based on general Winter time flavors- like sugar cookies! Caramel is a playful, curious pup who adores winter's simplest wonders She's always out exploring, leaving little paw prints in the snow and catching snowflakes on her nose, leading her friends on snow-filled adventures. Caramel’s gentle yet adventurous nature makes her the heart of every snowy escapade!

Introducing Cinnamon the Gingersnap Puppy! She's the second puppy inspired by general Winter flavors- gingersnap cookies! She's warm and caring, and LOVES to bake, filling every room with the smell of sweet winter spices. She's pretty shy but super thoughtful, always surprising her friends with baked treats! With a love for home baked goods and nights by the fire, she's (one of) the perfect Winter companions.

Next is the lovely Coco the Chocolate Strawberry Puppy! They're inspired by the common Valentine's day treat of chocolate dipped strawberries! They're a quirky decorator who adores adding sparkle to their friend's surroundings. Though a little awkward at times, Coco’s sense of humor keeps things light, and they’re known for bringing out giggles with perfectly timed jokes. Coco may be clumsy, but their creative touches make every gathering feel a little more magical!

Cherry the Chocolate Cordial Puppy! Cherry is inspired by Valentine's Day- specifically Cherry Chocolate Cordials! He’s a born performer, planning elaborate holiday parties all year long while donning his signature heart bowtie. When he’s not party planning, he’s singing his heart out to the theater classics, or helping friends with his never-ending enthusiasm!

Can't forget Coffee the Tiramisu Puppy! He's based on an elegant New Year's treat- the iconic tiramisu. He's by far the most energetic of the group, and constantly has the espresso filled zoomies. With his mix of charm and athletic ability, he loves snowball fights, playful races, and anything that keeps his friends active. Coffee’s high energy and fun-loving spirit make him the ultimate partner for ringing in the new year with excitement!

And lastly is Champagne, the Crème Brulee Puppy! They're inspired by New Year's (and my wedding anniversary that happens to be in January as well). They're by far the quiet, observant one of the group. With perfectly fluffy bangs to hide behind, they’re a bit shy and reserved, but always a caring listener and an insightful friend. Champagne’s favorite thing is celebrating small wins with those they love, making them the perfect comforting companion!
