One of Christmas’s most anticipated toy traditions is back! Hess has unveiled its 2026 holiday collectible, the Hess Hauler Truck and Snow Plow, featuring two vehicles making their first-ever appearance in the company’s 60-plus-year history. This year’s centerpiece is a garbage truck-inspired hauler, finished in the familiar Hess green and white, with 72 LED lights, seven flashing light patterns and six realistic sound effects. But there’s a surprise tucked inside: an ATV-style snow plow that can be loaded and unloaded through the truck’s rear hatch using a built-in ramp. The snow plow features its own 12 lights, pull-back motor and adjustable blade. Together, the two vehicles boast an impressive 84 lights, making this one of the most feature-packed holiday releases yet.
The 2026 Hess Hauler Truck and Snow Plow is available exclusively at HessToyTruck.com for $49.99, with free standard shipping and Energizer batteries included. The company is also offering its 2026 Monster Truck plush toy for $39.99. The annual Hess tradition began in 1964 when company founder Leon Hess introduced the first truck as an affordable, high-quality holiday gift for children. More than six decades later, the annual unveiling remains a Christmas ritual for families and collectors, many of whom have been passing their Hess trucks from one generation to the next. And with two brand-new vehicle designs this year, there’s plenty of reason to make room under the tree!
