Today is a big day in the Hundred Acre Wood.

October 14, 2026 marks 100 years since Winnie the Pooh first arrived in A.A. Milne’s stories in October 1926, and Disney is celebrating with a brand new round of anniversary products. A silly old bear turning 100? I’m emotional, and I haven’t even had my hunny yet.

Disney has also shared a new video on its YouTube channel to mark the milestone, and the product list is a whole lot of cozy. Here’s the new batch that arrived today.

• Woodland Hunnys Capsule Plush at Target: eight blind-box plush, each wearing a different animal hoodie
• Let’s Party! Series Figures from POP MART: blind-box figures of Pooh and friends getting ready for a celebration
• Miniature Winnie the Pooh in Bee Costume from Steiff: a limited-edition collectible

• Storybook Hand Care Collection from Mad Beauty at Amazon: honey and orange blossom hand wash and lotion in storybook packaging
• Embroidery service at UNIQLO’s RE.UNIQLO STUDIO: choose from seven Pooh designs to have embroidered on your clothing, available only at RE.UNIQLO STUDIO locations
• Pullover Sweatshirt at Disney Store: a women’s style with Pooh’s face and hunny pot motifs on the sleeves

• Magnetic Shoulder Plush at Disney Store: a mini plush that attaches to your shoulder
• Ear Headband at Disney Store: a Pooh and Pals design for adults
• Winnie the Pooh: 100 Mindful Moments from Penguin Random House
• Disney Dreamlight Valley: Honeyglow Woods Adventure Pack, with new content featuring Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore

Okay, let’s talk favorites. The Woodland Hunnys plush are the ones that got me. Eight different animal hoodies in a blind box is the kind of thing that turns a grown adult into a gremlin standing in a Target aisle, shaking boxes. And the Steiff bee costume Pooh? That one is a limited-edition collectible, so if you’re a collector, I wouldn’t sleep on it.

The magnetic shoulder plush is also a sneaky good idea. A tiny Pooh hanging out on your shoulder while you walk around the parks feels like the most Pooh thing possible. And the adult ear headband with Pooh and Pals is a nice one for anyone who wants a subtle way to celebrate in the parks without going full costume. (Though I fully support going full costume.)

If you’re more of a quiet, cozy person, the UNIQLO embroidery service is a really sweet touch. Picking one of seven Pooh designs to stitch onto a favorite piece of clothing feels personal, and it’s a fun way to carry the anniversary with you. It’s only at RE. UNIQLO STUDIO locations, so check for one near you.

And for a very different kind of Pooh moment, the Mindful Moments book and the Dreamlight Valley adventure pack lean into what makes Pooh special. He’s all about slowing down, being kind and enjoying simple things, and I think there’s something lovely about a 100-year-old bear still reminding us of that.

This isn’t the first wave, by the way. The anniversary celebration kicked off on March 10, 2026, with a huge launch of merchandise that included LEGO sets (one with a honey pot and bees, and a Piglet birthday scene), Funko POP! figures, GUND plush, Loungefly pieces, an OshKosh B’gosh collection for little ones, Vera Bradley designs and a 100th Anniversary Spirit Jersey from Disney Store with a Hundred Acre Wood map on it. So if you’ve been collecting all year, today’s drop is the next chapter, not the first.

For families, the best part of this celebration is how many ways there are to join in. There are plush and blind boxes that will delight the little ones, books and games for the whole family, and grown-up pieces like the sweatshirt and headband for the parents. Pooh really does feel like one of those characters who spans generations, and a collection like this lets grandparents, parents and kids all find something they love.

I love when Disney goes big on a classic character, and Pooh deserves every bit of it. A hundred years is a remarkable run, and the fact that he still feels so gentle and so fresh says a lot about those original stories. If I’m choosing just one piece from today’s batch, I’m leaving with the Woodland Hunnys plush and probably a Steiff Pooh I can’t really afford.

The best thing about this anniversary is that it’s easy to celebrate in your own way. Grab a plush, read a chapter, put on a headband, or just have a little hunny and enjoy the day. Happy 100th, Pooh Bear. You’re still the sweetest.
