Are these Jellycat Christmas 2024 'Amuseables' Collection stars worth the 'tree-mendous' effort to ship to New Zealand?

Is it actually feasible to track down the Jellycat Christmas 2024 'Amuseables' Collection for your New Zealand home without paying double to local collectors? While we are well into March 2026, the legendary status of the 2024 holiday drop—featuring the iconic Candy Cane and the ever-popular Christmas Tree—has turned these plushies into high-value collectibles. For those in Aotearoa, the struggle to find these specific items locally is real, as stock often prioritizes larger markets or disappears into private collections immediately upon release.

Why the Jellycat Christmas 2024 'Amuseables' Collection remains a 2026 obsession

The Jellycat cult following in China and the wider Asia-Pacific region has only intensified over the last two years. In 2026, the 2024 Holiday collection is considered a vintage gold standard for the brand. The Amuseable Candy Cane and the various iterations of the Christmas Tree are known for their distinct textures and quirky smiles that newer releases haven't quite replicated. Because US retailers like Nordstrom or the official Jellycat US store often receive deeper stock levels and exclusive restocks, Kiwi shoppers find it far more efficient to shop us store sites directly rather than waiting for local toy shops to announce a miracle restock.

Finding the Amuseables in US Stores

To secure these items, you need to look where the volume is. Major US department stores and specialized boutique toy shops in North America are your best bet for finding the Jellycat Christmas 2024 'Amuseables' Collection in 2026. When you shop abroad, you can often find better sales, even on older collections. However, many of these retailers do not provide direct international shipping service to New Zealand, or if they do, the costs are prohibitively high. This is where using a freight forwarder becomes the smartest move for a collector.

Logistics Analysis and Shipping Estimates

Before you hit the checkout button, it is essential to understand the physical profile of your plush haul. Even though they are soft, shipping logistics depend on the space they occupy in a cargo plane heading to Auckland or Christchurch.

Because these items are safe and do not contain electronics, you don't have to worry about the shipping rules associated with hazardous materials or restricted goods. You can comfortably shop us ship international without the fear of your plushie being held at the border for safety violations.

The Fluff Factor: Volumetric Weight Warnings

One thing to keep in mind is the Volumetric Weight. Shipping companies calculate costs based on whichever is greater: the actual weight or the volume. Since a Jellycat Christmas Tree is very light but somewhat bulky, it may be billed at a higher rate than its actual weight suggests. To avoid surprises, always use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before finalizing your purchase. If you are buying multiple items, like the Candy Cane and the Tree together, ask your forwarder to consolidate them into one box to save on space.

Navigating New Zealand Customs and GST

New Zealand's import laws in 2026 require a bit of foresight. For most goods, GST/VAT of 15% is applicable. If the retailer you are buying from is registered with New Zealand Inland Revenue, they may collect this at the point of sale. If not, you may be required to pay import duties and customs tax once the package arrives at the border. Check our guide on import tax to see if your total order value exceeds the current de minimis threshold.

Using a US Address for your Jellycat Haul

The most effective way to manage this process is to get a tax-free us address. By shipping your Jellycat Christmas 2024 'Amuseables' Collection to a warehouse in a state like Oregon, you avoid US sales tax entirely, keeping your initial costs down. From there, comGateway can receive your package, check the contents for any damage, and then forward it to your doorstep in New Zealand. This method is often much faster and more reliable than standard postal services, especially for sought-after collectibles that you wouldn't want to lose in transit.

Are you ready to complete your 2024 collection in 2026? By focusing on US retailers and utilizing a smart shipping strategy, those festive plushies will be sitting on your shelf in New Zealand before the next holiday season even begins.
