What Makes Halloween Squishmallows Special

Halloween Squishmallows are limited-edition plushies released in the fall, usually between late August and October. They’re instantly recognizable thanks to their spooky themes, glow-in-the-dark fabrics, or festive costumes — all wrapped in the irresistible softness that made Squishmallows famous.

Here’s what sets them apart:

Exclusive Designs — Halloween Squishmallows feature characters dressed as ghosts, witches, skeletons, vampires, pumpkins, and other classic spooky icons.
Limited Availability — They’re produced in small seasonal batches, making certain models highly collectible.
Glow-in-the-Dark Details — Many include glowing eyes, fangs, or stitched accents that come alive in the dark.
Unique Hangtags — Each Halloween Squishmallow comes with a themed tag featuring pumpkins, bats, or cobwebs, along with character bios that tie into the Halloween story.
Wide Size Range — From mini keychains to jumbo display pieces, every collector can find their perfect spooky friend.

Popular Halloween Squishmallow Characters

The Halloween collection grows every year, introducing both brand-new spooky friends and festive versions of fan-favorite characters. Some of the most popular Halloween Squishmallows include:

Emily the Bat – A classic Halloween icon with purple wings, sharp ears, and sometimes glow-in-the-dark details.
Grace the Ghost – A friendly ghost with rosy cheeks, a smiling face, and a cute bow or witch hat.
Detra the Octopus – Often seen dressed as a witch or vampire in seasonal editions.
Vampire Winston the Owl – A smart, spooky version of a fan favorite with red eyes and tiny fangs.
Autumn the Black Cat – A must-have Halloween symbol, sometimes wearing a witch’s hat or pumpkin costume.
Jack the Pumpkin – A simple but beloved design with a big grin and stitched pumpkin details.
Paige the Pumpkin Spice Latte – A cozy autumn-themed Squishmallow perfect for fall décor.
Caedia the Witch Cat – A limited-edition release featuring a glittery purple hat and cloak.
Mummy Tristan – Wrapped in soft white “bandages” with embroidered eyes peeking through.

These characters often return with slight variations each season — new accessories, patterns, or colors — which makes collecting them both fun and challenging.

Sizes and Collections

Halloween Squishmallows are available in multiple sizes, catering to both kids and collectors:

Mini (3.5”–4”) – Sold as keychains or blind capsules; perfect for Halloween treat bags or decorations.
Small (5”–8”) – The most popular and gift-friendly size, easy to find at major retailers.
Medium (12”) – Ideal for cuddling or decorating a Halloween display.

Each year’s Halloween collection usually includes several themed “squads,” such as the Spooky Squad, Haunted Squad, or Fright Squad, each with its own cast of characters.

Resale Potential – Rare or exclusive releases can increase in value, especially after the season ends.
Emotional Appeal – Their “spooky but cute” style appeals to both children and adult collectors.
Crossover Themes – Some combine Halloween and pop culture aesthetics, appealing to fandoms beyond plush collectors.

How to Spot Authentic Halloween Squishmallows

When shopping online, look for these signs of authenticity:

Official hangtag with “Squishmallows” logo and character bio.
Proper stitching and materials — genuine ones feel ultra-soft, never stiff or coarse.
Licensed manufacturer — Kellytoy or Jazwares.
Retail packaging consistent with the brand’s design.

Counterfeits are common during the holidays, so always buy from verified retailers or trusted resellers.

Tips for Displaying and Storing

Display creatively: Arrange Halloween Squishmallows with pumpkins, candles, and autumn décor.
Protect from sunlight: UV rays can fade dark fabrics and neon embroidery.
Keep tags intact: Essential for collectors and resale value.
Clean gently: Spot-clean with mild soap and let air dry — never machine wash.
Store seasonally: After Halloween, store in breathable bags in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
