Select items from Super Nintendo World's holiday 2022 collection of merchandise are now available for pre-order via third-party partners. Super Nintendo World, a new park within Universal Studios Japan, opened in 2021 and has been incredibly popular. Capitalizing on the theme park's success, Nintendo has released a variety of seasonal semi-exclusive merchandise, with holiday 2022 being the latest. Now some of this holiday Super Nintendo World merch is making its way overseas.The holiday line of Super Nintendo World merchandise was officially unveiled earlier in November. This coincided with a transition to a holiday theme at Super Nintendo World, which included Christmas tree, presents, and holiday lighting decorations. The holiday decorations include Super Mario Bros. sweaters, slippers, and socks, Christmas tree ornaments, mugs, keychains, cards, and more. It's unclear if most of this merchandise will make its way oversees or not.What is making its way overseas is a pair of plushie Mario holiday offerings. Nintendo Soup, which offers officially licensed Nintendo merchandise through its online store, is taking pre-orders for two Super Nintendo World products. The first is a Mario snowman plushie, featuring a red scarf and a Mario cap. The second item is a Super Mario Bros.-themed wreath. It's wrapped in red ribbon, and features mushroom decorations, a golden star and red bow at its top, and a Mario plushie at its center.
The Mario snowman plushie costs $69.99 to pre-order and the plush wreath is $59.99, before adding tax or shipping. It's unclear when Nintendo Soup will have either item ready to ship, unfortunately. What is clear, though, is that both are available in extremely limited quantities. It's possible that there may be few or no other options to buy these Super Nintendo World offerings, though, so Mario fans may want to get their orders in soon.
The official Nintendo online store doesn't appear to be offering any holiday-themed merchandise, which seems like a major oversight. Theme parks are major drivers of merch, though, so it's perhaps understandable. Relying on a third-party shop isn't the best situation, but the alternative is to not have this Super Nintendo World merch available internationally at all.
For those looking for a special Super Mario Bros. present that doesn't have to be holiday-themed, there are plenty of other options on Nintendo's official store. There are plush turtle shells, Yoshi eggs, and piranha plants, Mario costumes, and all manner of clothing options. Those hoping for a very Super Mario Bros. Christmas will have plenty of options, Super Nintendo World merchandise or not.
