Hold the Phones! Tin Can's First-Ever Holiday Collection Arrives Early in NYC and by Hotline (Of Course)

On November 7 and 8, families can visit Tin Can's SoHo pop-up or dial 1-844-GET-A-CAN for first dibs on its new products before they officially launch online November 9.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Can's outta the bag: Tin Can, the new-school landline for friends, is popping up (literally and over the airwaves) on November 7th and 8th, giving those who go the extra mile early access to its first-ever holiday collection.

Shop Two Different Ways, Two Days Early? You Bet Your Can.

Tin Can's new collection, which goes live on tincan.com on Monday, November 9, features three familiar-but-new-but-familiar products that are getting people talking: the limited-edition, Technicaller Clear phone that you can—you guessed it—see into, the Contact Keeper for…keeping your contacts, and Twirly Cord Charms that give every call a little jingle, jangle, and even some dangle. But if you happen to live in NYC, or don't but happen to have a phone (looking at you!), you can get a leg up on everyone else with exclusive access starting Saturday, November 7, through Sunday, November 8. (And no matter where you are, you can sign up here for the latest updates.)

Visit Tin Can's pop-up in SoHo. For the first time ever, we're taking Tin Can off the world wide web and bringing it IRL. Families can swing by 45 Grand Street in SoHo from 10 am–6 pm on Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8, snag the full Tin Can collection and hang a while, with a gacha machine full of Tin Can-y prizes, a doodle wall illustrated by Lucas Beaufort, and larger than life charms that hang from the ceiling.

Call the Holiday Hotline. It's like an IYKYK kinda thing, but for everyone to know. Folks who can't make it to the pop-up can call 1-844-GET-A-CAN for instructions on how to crack Tin Can's super special, top secret holiday purchase page. (Spoiler: It involves a side quest!)

About the Holiday Collection

Technicaller Clear (Limited Edition, $125 USD, $170 CAD)

Tin Can's flagship phone now comes in Technicaller Clear, a limited-edition take on the familiar 90s classic. You can see everything inside and it glows when it rings—totally tubular. It joins the classic Tin Can lineup of colors (yes, clear is a color), available in Landline Lemon, Answer Me Aquamarine, Later Alligator Lilac, and Static White ($100 USD, $135 CAD).

Just like the OG Tin Cans, Technicaller Clear gives families a landline that's simple, safe, and fun. Kids can call other Tin Cans for free with the Can 2 Can plan, and families can add the Party Line Plan ($9.99 USD/month or $100 USD/year) to reach any non-Tin Can phone (like grandma's cordless phone or auntie's cell). Every Tin Can includes:

• Parent-approved contacts only, managed in the parents-only companion app
• Customizable quiet hours
• 911 emergency calling on every plan
• Wi-Fi connectivity, so no phone jack is needed
• No screens, no texting, certainly no algorithms

The Contact Keeper ($40 USD, $55 CAD)

Think of the Contact Keeper as a tabletop filing cabinet for phone numbers—but way more fun. Instead of the handmade directories taped to refrigerators or pockets stuffed with loose leaf pieces of paper that have what kind of resembles phone numbers on them, the Contact Keeper holds 20 Calling Cards so kids can swap digits with friends and have a designated place to store them, right next to their Tin Can. Sooooo organized! (Plus it makes a very satisfying clicky clacky sound.)

Twirly Cord Charms ($20 USD per set; $30 CAD per set)

Like hot sauce on pineapple, once you put Twirly Cord Charms on your Can, there's no going back. Each set includes five charms plus three keychain adapters, so kids can take favorites along for the ride. Sets come in three themes: Mostly Sportsballs, Mostly Fish, and Mostly Nonsense. Consider them instant conversation starters because we know you've always wanted to discuss whalesharks ad nauseum.

"Kids want something that feels like theirs, and it has to be fun. That's what every new product in this collection is all about," said Chet Kittleson, CEO and co-founder of Tin Can. "Technicaller Clear is the see-through phone so many of us parents grew up wanting. The Contact Keeper came straight from families taping handmade directories to the fridge. And the Twirly Cord Charms let kids make their Tin Can unmistakably their own. Each adds something exciting without changing what Tin Can is at its core, and I can't wait to hear what our community thinks, especially now that they can shop early."
