Okay, I have to talk about this because it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen all holiday season. 🥹 These Cinnamoroll Christmas wagashi (Japanese traditional sweets) aren’t just snacks — they’re edible art pieces shaped like tiny sheep wearing Santa hats and sitting inside Christmas tree-shaped packaging! 🐑🎄
I found them at a Sanrio store in Tokyo, and honestly? I didn’t even realize they were food at first. The clear plastic box is molded into a perfect little Christmas tree with a bright yellow star on top. Inside? Soft mochi balls filled with sweet red bean paste — but the real magic is in the design.
Each one features a different Cinnamoroll character: some blushing, some smiling, some holding gifts or bows… and yes, they’re all dressed for the holidays. One even has a blue bow — like a little festive princess! 👑💫
The taste? Silky, chewy mochi with a warm, slightly sweet red bean filling — not too sugary, just enough to make you smile. And the texture? So soft it feels like eating a cloud. ☁️🍮
But here’s the best part: the packaging itself is a decoration. You can stand it up on your desk, use it as a table centerpiece, or just take photos of it for Instagram. 📸🔥 I bought two — one for me, one for my friend who loves kawaii things. She texted me later: “This is the most adorable gift ever.” 💖
If you’re looking for something that feels like a hug from a cartoon character, this is it. It’s not just a snack — it’s holiday joy in bite-sized form. 🧼✨
(P.S. I tried to save one for later… but it disappeared within 10 minutes. My future self is judging me.) 😅
