It might be still snowing where you live but spring is already in the air, especially with the news that Hello Kitty 2025 Easter Squishmallows dropped at Walmart this week. If you’re an avid collector of these soft, squishy stuffed animals, or a fan of the beloved Hello Kitty and friends, you need to run, not walk, to your nearest Walmart. These exclusive springtime cuties are already flying off the shelves, according to SheKnows.
Hello Kitty and her Sanrio pals are among the most sought-after Squishmallow characters. Due to their popularity, these characters can be tricky to find both online and in stores. But we’re all about sharing the love, so we’re giving you the details on how to snag one of these adorable Hello Kitty Easter Squishmallows before they sell out.
What’s In the New Hello Kitty Easter Squishmallows Collection
The new collection features four iconic Hello Kitty & Friends characters dressed in pastel, Easter chick-inspired costumes, including Kuromi and My Melody.
Each Squishmallow is around eight inches tall and includes a signature touch, like Hello Kitty’s classic pink bow or Pompompurin’s cute little brown beret. Best of all, they’re priced at under $15 right now — making them a steal before resellers get their hands on them.
Though Easter may be a bit away, we strongly recommend grabbing yours now, as we know these Squishmallows won’t stick around for long. At the moment, they’re only available for shipping in select regions, but you can also pick them up in many locations.

Why Are Squishmallows So Popular?
These soft, squishy stuffed animals have sparked a craze that’s not just for kids, but for collectors and adults alike. But what is it about these plush toys that has led to their explosive popularity?
At the core of Squishmallows’ appeal is their incredible softness. Made from a polyester and spandex blend, these plush toys have a velvety feel that’s hard to resist. They are filled with a squishy, marshmallow-like stuffing so whether you’re hugging them, cuddling up on the couch, or using them as a pillow, the plush texture gives a soothing sensation that brings comfort. Try squeezing one when you’re feeling stressed, almost like a cute stress ball.
And don’t get us started on the wide array of adorable characters available. With over 1,000 unique designs, there’s a Squishmallow for everyone. But collectors are particularly drawn to the limited edition and seasonal characters, making each new release an event to look forward to.
Squishmallows are also affordable, often ranging from $5 to $15, depending on the size. Their availability at major retailers like Walmart, Target, and even online stores makes it easy for fans to add to their collections without breaking the bank.
