The Japanese have a strange love for sinking their teeth into their favorite characters. We’ve seen Rilakkuma cakes and Hello Kitty doughnuts, next in line appears to be good-old Snoopy and his little yellow friend, Woodstock.

Mister Donut (or Misdo for short), the confectionary maker who brought us the jack-o’-lantern Hello Kitty doughnuts for Halloween, is already in the midst of preparing for the Christmas season, and boy does it look tasty!

A total of seven Christmas-themed munchies, including Snoopy and Woodstock doughnuts, are set to jazz up the display counters of Mister Donut outlets across Japan from mid-November.

A cake-doughnut ball stacked on top of a cake-doughnut ring to form the main body of the tree, topped with whipped cream, chocolate, almonds and white chocolate decoration.

As above, but with strawberry chocolate, cranberries, and white chocolate decoration. Be still, my aching arteries!
