The best food plushies of 2025
From Fugglers and Smiskis to Labubus and Squishmallows, plushies and collectibles are the year’s top trend—whether it be a bedside plush for cuddling, or an adorable tag-along strapped to your bag.
In 2025, toy brands weren’t the only ones making plushies, and these food brands proved that their soft and fuzzy buddies are just as good as the offerings on their menu. From a cuddly dumpling to a talking potato, these are the food plushies that made our year.
Din Tai Fung’s Baobao plush
Remember the adorable dumpling in Disney’s short film “Bao”? Now, having your own little dim sum baby isn’t a thing of fantasy, thanks to Din Tai Fung’s Baobao plush. We all love their soupy, savory dumplings, but that’s certainly one we’re not going to eat—maybe take-home instead?
Chagee’s Bes-teas
Chagee definitely took us by surprise this year when they finally opened up shop in the country. As if that wasn’t enough, they even made their arrival all the more special with the limited-time drop of their Bes-teas, a collection of eight milk tea plushie keyrings named and colored after some of Chagee’s bestsellers.
My personal favorite is the Osmanthus oolong, featuring a Pompompurin-coded colorway.
Potato Corner’s yapping Poco
Who hasn’t talked to their plushies once? With Potato Corner, they might just start talking back.
Poco the talking plushie is available in select Potato Corner stores for P209 when purchased alongside a snack. You can also get him à la carte for P219. Additionally, he’s also available on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
Zus Coffee’s eepy capybaras
It’s not just us who need that morning pick-me-up cup: Enter Zus Coffee’s sleepy capybara plushies. Until Jan. 22, 2026, you can get a free plush when you spend P350. The promo is available via in-app pick-up and through the ZUS Coffee App, and walk-in transactions.
Chowking and cuteness to-go
Chowking’s redefining take-out, and having these limited-edition plushie keyrings, will have you thinking about their Chow Fan and Halo-Halo Supreme all day long. These are available in all Chowking stores nationwide as part of the Lauriat + Halo-Halo Supreme bundle.
Krispy Kreme’s sweet treats
Ever see food that’s simply too pretty to eat? Well, now you can get over the hesitation, grab that bite, and keep a plushie instead. Krispy Kreme has just recently released the OG Squad collection, featuring seven mini plushies based on some of Krispy Kreme’s favorites: Original Glazed, Lotus Biscoff Glaze, White Choco Nutty, Cinnamon Sugar, Lemon Custard Fluff, Powdered Strawberry, and Strawberry Sprinkles.
You can get a mystery blind box for P299 with any dozen purchase, or P399 for the plushie alone. The OG Squad plushies are available in select stores.
