Christmas is a time for families to come together, celebrate traditions and create special memories with the people they love. And sometimes, some of the most memorable moments of the holiday season come from the simplest things, whether it’s decorating the Christmas tree, sharing a favorite treat or spending a little extra time together around the table.
And this year, one beloved little bunny is getting ready to make the holidays a little sweeter for families across Italy.
Bing, the lovable character from Acamar Films’ popular preschool animated series, is once again teaming up with Italian confectionery company Balocco for the return of its special Bing-themed Mini Pandoro, bringing a familiar face to one of Italy’s traditional Christmas treats.
Following the success of last year’s collaboration, the two brands are coming together for another holiday season with two special designs featuring Bing, giving young fans a chance to celebrate Christmas with a character who has become a familiar part of their everyday lives.
For those unfamiliar with the traditional Italian holiday treat, Pandoro is a soft, sweet cake that has long been associated with Christmas celebrations throughout Italy. And with Balocco’s miniature version, little ones can enjoy their very own holiday treat featuring Bing.
Made using Balocco’s traditional recipe with free-range eggs and fresh Italian milk, the Mini Pandoro brings together the company’s longstanding confectionery traditions with the colorful world of Bing, a series that has become especially popular among preschool audiences throughout Italy.
And that connection is certainly nothing new.
With approximately two billion views on its Italian YouTube channel and more than 13 billion views worldwide, Bing has become one of the most recognizable preschool entertainment properties, introducing young viewers to the everyday experiences, emotions and discoveries that come with growing up.
The series also continues to maintain a strong presence on Italy’s Rai Yoyo, where Bing and his friends have become familiar faces for young children and their families.
What makes this particular collaboration fitting is how closely both brands are connected to everyday family experiences. While Bing explores the little moments that can mean so much during childhood, Balocco has spent more than four generations becoming part of the traditions and celebrations shared by Italian families.
And with Christmas being a season centered around togetherness, kindness and sharing, the return of the Bing Mini Pandoro offers another opportunity for families to bring a little of that holiday magic into their celebrations.
The collaboration was arranged through Maurizio Distefano Licensing, which has represented Bing’s licensing rights in Italy for several years.
The special Bing Mini Pandoro collection, featuring two festive designs, is available beginning in October 2026 at major supermarket chains throughout Italy, just in time for families to begin preparing for the Christmas season.
