Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan (KKDJ) is getting ready for the holiday season with its upcoming “Holly Jolly Holiday” line of cute Christmas doughnuts that will be released at most branches across Japan on November 14, 2018.
The tasty treats all take on Christmas motifs and unique shaps. KKDJ is also introducing milk tea flavoured crème for the very first time in the Milk Tea Box doughnut. Let’s take a look.
Strawberry Milk Santa: This cute square doughnut is made to look like Santa Claus. His bright-red Christmas hat is a strawberry nappage and beard is made from milky white chocolate. Inside is a strawberry milk flavoured cream.
Caramel Reindeer: Another square doughnut, this time coated in caramel chocolate. It’s filled with a bitter caramel sauce and a caramel cream with added salt to help bring out the flavour. You can enjoy three different textures: the fluffy doughnut itself, strawberry jelly reindeer nose and the crunchy pretzel antlers.
Milk Tea Box: This doughnut is made in the image of a Christmas present box and contains KKDJ’s first ever milk tea flavoured cream. The yellow outer coating is purin flavoured and sprinkled with colourful sugar. It’s also ‘tied’ with a white chocolate and strawberry chocolate ribbon.
Snowman Chocolate: The snowman doughnut is filled luxuriously with a rich raw chocolate cream and coated with wintery white coloured and milky flavoured white chocolate. His smile is painted with dark chocolate while his scarf is made with a sweet and sour strawberry nappage.
Sprinkle Wreath: This doughnut is a spin on Krispy Kreme’s popular Original Glazed® doughnut. It’s coated in a bright green vanilla chocolate and topped with red, green and white holiday colour sprinkles. It’s the spitting image of Christmas.
KKDJ are also selling a limited edition design box called “Holiday Dozen” that contains all five of these doughnuts and the Original Glazed®, the chain’s most popular doughnut.
Share some cute and delicious doughnuts this holiday season with friends and family!

Eve to Sing Theme Song for Christmas Comedy Film ‘Black Night Parade’
Popular singer Eve will sing the theme song for the film Black Night Parade, coming to theaters nationwide on December 23, 2022. A new trailer featuring the track has also been released alongside the announcement.
Eve’s YouTube channel has over 4.2 million subscribers with video views of over 1.9 billion. The new song, Shirayuki, was written by the singer himself, who has become incredibly popular with overseas music fans as well. The track manages to be both gentle and powerful in equal measure, combining an orchestra with Eve’s unique vocals. In conjunction with the release of the trailer, an exclusive pre-release version of the song has been posted to TikTok.
Black Night Parade Trailer: https://youtu.be/57CkdVMky4o
Black Night Parade was originally manga series by Hikaru Nakamura, the creator of Arakawa Under the Bridge and Saint Young Men. The live-action film will be directed by Yuichi Fukuda, who has worked on a number of live-action film adaptations of manga series including Gintama and Kyo Kara Ore Wa! Fukuda also wrote the screenplay along with Tetsuo Kamata. The protagonist Miharu Hino will be played by Ryo Yoshizawa, while Shino Hojo will be played by Kanna Hashimoto. Taishi Nakagawa will play Kaizer Tanaka and Keisuke Watanabe will play Teppei Kohira.
The story follows Miharu Hino, a man who is completely hopeless at everything he does. He failed his entrance exam, failed at job hunting, and has no love life to speak of. After working at a convenience store for three years, he meets a man in a black Santa suit who kidnaps him, offering him a job. Miharu then begins working at Santa Claus House, a mysterious company at the North Pole that delivers gifts to children around the world.
Comment from Eve
“I’m incredibly honored because I loved both the original manga and Fukuda’s past works. I wrote this song Shirayuki with the hope that Christmas could be an important day for everyone. I would be so glad if this song makes you nostalgic for winter, making you imagine the cold air that stings your nose and the stars in the clear night sky. I love Kunehito, so I am looking forward to seeing him in the film.”
