Peppa Pig’s ongoing partnership with Walmart celebrates a major storyline milestone with the introduction of Baby Evie, the newest member of the Pig family. First revealed in a Walmart-exclusive Peppa Pig Tales episode titled “Baby Balloon” in May 2025, Mummy Pig’s pregnancy culminated in the arrival of Evie Pig on May 20.
To mark the occasion, Walmart released a new line of exclusive toys featuring the expanded family of five. The collection includes Peppa’s Big Family House with Baby Evie, an interactive Baby Evie doll, a Family of Five figure set, and Peppa’s Big Family Car playset. These additions build on Walmart’s extensive range of Peppa Pig merchandise, all of which is exclusively available in stores and online.

- Personalized toy collections based on new characters introduce opportunities for creating exclusive, story-driven product lines tied to popular media franchises.
- Interactive Plush Toys
- Advancements in interactive, plush toys foster enhanced engagement through sensory play, offering innovation in how children interact and learn from toys.
- Narrative-enhanced Merchandise
- Toy lines that are tightly integrated with storytelling augment the consumer experience, providing immersive, narrative-rich play environments.
Sectors Adopting This
- Retail Toy Industry
- The retail toy industry stands to benefit from exclusive partnerships and character-based collections that drive both in-store and online traffic.
- Entertainment Franchises
- Entertainment franchises can leverage character expansion in their narratives to create new licensing opportunities with retail partners.
- Child-centric Technology
