Two well-known $q$-Hermite polynomials are the continuous and discrete $q$-Hermite polynomials. In this paper we consider a new family of $q$-Hermite polynomials and prove several curious properties about these polynomials. One striking property is the connection with $q$-Fibonacci and $q$-Lucas polynomials. The latter relation yields a generalization of the Touchard-Riordan formula.
