It’s beginning to look a lot like Peng-Mas as the Pudgy Penguins get ready to waddle into Walmart this holiday season!
On Friday, the brand’s Head of Partnerships, Steve Starobinsky, took to the timeline and asked whether anyone had received a physical copy of Walmart’s holiday catalog yet, hinting that Pax and the Penguins probably make an appearance!
“Has anyone received the @Walmart holiday catalog physical copy yet?”
Tonight, the Gazette has not seen the holiday catalog yet, but Walmart’s X team told curious collectors to check with associates at their local stores for a copy!
Today’s catalog tease comes just two weeks after Pudgy Penguins announced on LinkedIn that the brand is heading back to Walmart.
“We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Walmart collectibles,” Pudgy Penguins wrote on September 2nd. “Bringing Pengu to even more people around the world. Our mission is to make Pudgy Penguins part of everyday culture by showing up where hundreds of millions of consumers already shop. More information coming soon.”
As we wait to learn more about what Pudgy Penguins plans to bring to Walmart this winter, one thing is clear, the move continues the brand’s push to make the colder months its season.
As the Gazette previously reported, last winter the brand dropped a Mystery Box on Dyli for Black Friday, hit the ice at the NHL Winter Classic in Miami, lit up the Las Vegas Sphere, and released its first-ever snow globes and plush Penguin bouquets for Valentine’s Day!
Spent way too long on Poki last weekend — started with one puzzle game and ended up trying like five different ones. Everything loads right in the browser which is nice when you just want something quick without installing anything. The variety is honestly what keeps me coming back.
