Jellycat’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection launched on February 10, 2026 with 19 new characters. Three of those launches were global debuts of pieces that had previously only been available at specific Jellycat experiences in London, New York, and Paris. Two more characters were added to the lineup on April 1. Below is the verified breakdown of what is in the drop, what we currently stock at A Flying Wish, and the spring and summer plushies worth knowing about.
If you would rather skip the commentary and shop the entire seasonal collection, the live picks live in our Jellycat plushies category, with the spring-leaning subsets in Amuseables and Bunnies.
The launch: February 10, 2026
Reader’s Digest covered the drop on launch day and confirmed 19 new characters arrived simultaneously. Three of them were global debuts that long-time Jellycat watchers had been waiting for:
- Strutton Pigeon. Previously an F.A.O. Schwarz exclusive, available only in New York. Reader’s Digest confirms he is now globally available in Jellycat’s signature soft fabric, in hues of teal, purple, and gray.
- Steepy Tea Bag. Previously sold only at independent small businesses in the U.K. The character debuted internationally with this drop and features an array of textured fabrics.
- May Macaron. Previously available only at Jellycat’s Paris Patisserie experience. Now globally available alongside the rest of the Amuseables Patisserie line.
Other confirmed pieces in the launch include the Sky Dragon Bag Charm, Thistlepop Blossom Luxe Bunny (described by Reader’s Digest as having a dreamy lavender hue and floral details, an Easter-gifting natural fit), the Bartholomew Bear in a daffodil costume, Amuseables Mirielle St. Honoré (a pastry plush modeled on the gâteau St. Honoré), Amuseable Carrot Cake, and a Skipson Lamb. Earlier in 2026, Jellycat also released a Year of the Horse drop and a Cariss curling stone and skiing Bashful Bunny duo for the Winter Olympics, and a separate Space Collection of 12 plushies followed on March 18.
The April additions
Two more pieces joined the seasonal lineup on April 1, 2026, per JellyJournal’s release tracking:
- Bartholomew Bear Bouffant. A new variant of Jellycat’s flagship bear.
- Ricky Rain Frog Smiling. A new variant of the popular Ricky Rain Frog character.

Summer-aesthetic ocean and sea-life plushies
Reader’s Digest’s coverage of the spring drop did not specifically name new sea-life characters as part of the February 10 launch, so we are presenting these as summer-fitting picks from our broader Jellycat catalogue rather than confirmed 2026 launches.
- Seas the Day Coral Bag Charm
- Seas the Day Fuchsia Bag Charm
- Cozy Crew Crab
- Cozy Crew Lobster
- Cozy Crew Octopus
- Fluffy Crab
- Fluffy Starfish
- Storm Octopus
- Pacey Pufferfish

How quickly should you buy?
Reader’s Digest’s coverage of every recent Jellycat seasonal drop has included the same advice: buy quickly. The publication noted on launch day that previous seasonal Jellycats (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day) sold out months before their respective holidays, and recommended ordering as soon as items appear on the website. They also caution against buying outside official Jellycat stockists, since ‘if you see a bargain price that feels too good to be true, it likely is.’
Beyond that, we are not going to make specific predictions about which spring/summer 2026 pieces will sell out first. What we can say is that A Flying Wish buys its stock outright, holds it in limited numbers, and inventory updates live on each product page. If a specific piece is showing low stock when you visit, that is the signal to act.

Best Spring/Summer 2026 picks by occasion
For Easter baskets
The Bashful Tulip Bunny, Bashful Blossom Cream Bunny, or any of the Blossom-themed bunnies in soother size are natural picks. The Skipson Lamb (a verified spring 2026 release per SheKnows) is the alternative for collectors who already own multiple bunnies.
For Mother’s Day
The Fleury flower line includes pieces that work as Mother’s Day plushies, particularly the Fleury Sunflower Soother and Fleury Daffodil. The Bartholomew Bear in a daffodil costume is the spring 2026 launch piece with the most editorial buzz. For more occasion gifting ideas, see our complete best Jellycat for Mother’s Day guide.
For graduation and end-of-year gifts
Spring drops often double as graduation gifts. Our recent guide to the best Jellycat plushies for graduation gifts in 2026 walks through which spring pieces work best for which graduation moment.
For new-baby gifts
Jellycat plushies are tested to the European Safety Standard EN71 parts 1, 2, and 3 (per Jellycat’s product safety information), and many soothers, comforters, and grabbers are explicitly labeled suitable from birth. Larger sizes (Large and Huge) should not be left in a crib. For complete guidance, see our parents’ guide to Jellycat safety for newborns.

What other 2026 Jellycat drops have happened so far?
Earlier in 2026, Jellycat released a Year of the Horse drop and a Cariss curling stone and skiing Bashful Bunny duo for the Winter Olympics. After the spring drop, a Space Collection of 12 plushies launched on March 18, 2026, including a Boiled Egg Scientist and a Zyllan Alien per Reader’s Digest’s coverage.

Jellycat’s product safety information notes that their plushies are tested to the European Safety Standard EN71 parts 1, 2, and 3. Many pieces, including the Blossom Bunny soothers, comforters, and grabbers, are explicitly labeled suitable from birth. Larger sizes (Large and Huge) should not be left in a crib. For complete guidance, see our parents’ guide to Jellycat safety for newborns.
How do I tell if a Spring/Summer 2026 Jellycat is authentic?

The bottom line
The verified facts about Jellycat’s Spring/Summer 2026 drop: it launched on February 10, 2026 with 19 new characters, including three global debuts (Strutton Pigeon, Steepy Tea Bag, May Macaron). Two more pieces, Bartholomew Bear Bouffant and Ricky Rain Frog Smiling, joined on April 1. A separate Space Collection of 12 plushies followed on March 18.
The standout single piece, based on editorial coverage, is the Bartholomew Bear daffodil costume. The most collectible long-term picks are the three global debuts, since this is the first time those characters have been available outside their original event exclusivity. For a clean spring display, the Fleury and Blossom bunny lines pair well with the new releases.
Buy from an authorized retailer, and buy soon if a specific piece is showing low stock. Reader’s Digest has consistently noted that recent Jellycat seasonal drops sell out months ahead of their natural calendar moments.
