Some recognizable favorites in the world of cartoons are the characters of the Peanuts franchise. People love to see Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt, and of course, Snoopy during the holiday season — it’s an iconic time which they are most known for. Snoopy is the blueprint for a ton of Peanuts sold merchandise. This loveable beagle has made his way across the cutest of items including dolls, lunch boxes, key chains, and more. And now, there’s a new version of Snoopy in a puffer jacket that is being sold — and sold out — in CVS stores across the country. Gen Z and TikTok are fueling the doll’s virality, because they can’t get enough of his cuteness.
Snoopy’s look in this is simple. Snoopy is wearing a gray-blue puffer jacket with a green and yellow-striped beanie hat. Like most Snoopy dolls, he is not wearing any shoes, and he is smiling. Puffer jackets and beanies are a huge part of Gen Z winter fashion in 2023, which is no doubt why this Snoopy doll is such a big hit this holiday season. Some TikToks show people finding Snoopy in CVS successfully (or unsuccessfully), and others show their Snoopy dolls living their best lives once they’re home. TBH, I’m feeling influenced to go check my local CVS for this guy.
Members of Gen Z have been posting to TikTok about their search to find Snoopy in his puffer jacket, and whether or not they get lucky trying to get him. Since the doll has such an adorable and youthful appearance, it’s no wonder why it’s a staple among this generation. Snoopy being in a puffer jacket means he’s taking part in one of the biggest style trends of the year, so no doubt fans want to match him. Also, the stuffed doll being conveniently located in a store like CVS is another positive thing that has people interested — there are tons of CVS stores all over the country, so it’s actually possible anyone could find him no matter where they are on the map. Plus, it’s a fresh look to the Peanuts brand that’s been around since the ‘50s.
If you can’t find a Snoopy puffer jacket doll at your local CVS store, look no further than the internet. Online seller sites like eBay and Mercari have the doll ready for purchase by toy collectors giving away their new and used ones. Prices, however, range from $21 to $50, so be prepared to spend some extra dough than the doll’s retail price — but IMHO, the collectible is worth every penny. If you’re a fan of Peanuts and Snoopy, this is one item that you shouldn’t pass up on for this year’s holiday wishlist.
