✨ What’s Next for Bath & Body Works Collaborations? My 2025 Wishlist & Wild Guesses
With the ©Disney Princess Collection still taking up prime floor space through Spring 3 (and possibly longer, depending on sell-through), I’ve been daydreaming… what collaborations might we see next?
We’ve seen some surprising moves this year already, but there’s still plenty of time (and space!) for Bath & Body Works to drop something big, nostalgic, or unexpected before the year ends.
Note: I don’t know what’s coming — these are just my hopeful guesses and inspired wishes while we all wait to see what the brand has planned!
👑 Will Disney Return for Another Round?
The ©Disney Princess Collection brought six royals to the floor... but where were the other four? With ten princesses originally shown on marketing materials, many of us were left wondering why we didn’t get the full lineup.
-
Could this mean more are on the way?
-
Was this always intended as a one-and-done?
-
And let’s be real: Where’s the Villains Collection?!
A Disney Villains release would be perfect for fall or Halloween: Maleficent, Ursula, the Evil Queen, Cruella… it practically writes itself.
Come on, Disney — work some magic! ✨
💭 My Dream Collab Wishlist
Here’s a list of possible (and fun!) brands or properties I’d love to see B&BW team up with — some are long shots, some are totally doable.
🎄 Holiday, Lifestyle & Fun Collabs
-
©Elf (The Movie): Wallflowers, PocketBacs, mist, accessories. Small but magical.
-
©Vera Bradley: Imagine candle labels, sanitizer holders, or Mother's Day totes in classic VB prints.
-
©Lilly Pulitzer: For summer — bright, preppy, and full of coastal energy.
-
©Ben & Jerry’s or any ice cream brand: Gourmand lovers, unite! Summer 2025 could be scooped to perfection.
-
©Dunkin: Coffee & donut candles? Yes, please.
-
Pantone’s Mocha Mousse 2025: This color of the year needs a gourmand scent pairing!
💄 Pop Culture & Fashion
-
©Barbie: A missed opportunity last year… maybe still possible?
-
©Adidas: Sporty fresh body care, gym-ready packaging.
-
K-POP ©BTS: Even a subtle nod — PocketBacs or wallflower units — would send fans running to stores.
-
©Lego: Fun, colorful packaging. Would make adorable gift sets.
🎬 2025 Movie Tie-Ins: Possibilities?
With several major films releasing this year, here’s what could inspire collaborations:
-
Live Action ©Disney Snow White: Not part of the Princess release. Could they be holding her for a solo tie-in?
-
Live Action Moana: Already featured, but maybe a deluxe set later?
-
©Lilo & Stitch: Tropical, quirky, and adorable.
-
Jurassic World: Rebirth: Dino-themed anything is a hit. Don’t sleep on this!
-
©Wicked: For Good: They missed the first movie release, but there's still a chance!
-
©Smurfs: Cute, nostalgic, and kid-friendly.
👻 Halloween 2025 – Let’s Dream Big
Could we see a ©Hocus Pocus return this year? It worked before — and fans would love another spellbinding set.
And speaking of spooky-season...
-
©Netflix Wednesday: This deserves a release! I still think back to the product ideas I shared after watching Season 1.
-
©Squid Game: Maybe too dark — but it's undeniably popular.
-
©Stranger Things Season 5: We've been here before... but could it be stranger (and better) this time?
-
©Bridgerton Season 4: So much potential for a soft, romantic fall release with florals and lacey packaging.
📝 Final Thoughts
Some collaborations are fun to imagine, even if they never happen. But with Bath & Body Works, you truly never know what’s next. The brand has leaned heavily into themed collections and nostalgic tie-ins lately, and I’m hoping for at least one surprise collab drop before the year ends.
Until then, I’ll keep dreaming — and tracking everything that does show up.
