KFC Japan is teaming up with the Peanuts franchise to release a new line of mugs featuring designs of Snoopy and the rest of the gang. They will be released on November 22, with in-store pre-orders opening on November 1.

Christmas is a big time for KFC in Japan as it’s a location many people enjoy dining at during the holiday season. This special Snoopy collaboration has been dubbed a pre-Christmas celebration.

Four mugs will be available, including pink, yellow and blue ones as well as a “rare” mug which is the hardest one to obtain. The mugs feature completely original illustrations of Snoopy and his friends playing in the snow.

Also arriving on November 1 is a series of other Snoopy-themed merchandise which can be obtained when ordering the kids meals pictured below. The first in the series will be a plate which comes with the same 4 designs as the mugs.

It’s a tradition to eat KFC in Japan at Christmas, so celebrate this holiday season together with Snoopy and his friends.
