Not that we needed more reasons to visit, but this holiday period Pokemon Centre’s across Japan launched a whole new range of festive goods, to ensure All You Want For Christmas is…Pikachu! The aptly titled “Pokemon’s Frosty Christmas” range was “white Christmas” themed and featured all manner of adorable goodies decorated with snowy scenes of Pikachu and pals designed to warm hearts this winter! Unfortunately the collection was a little too wonderful and sold out almost immediately. So, we’ve created this retrospective report to bring Pokémon Christmas magic to you in digital form.

The range centred on this gorgeous motif showing various Pokemon in snug winter ware, celebrating beneath a snowy Christmas tree. With baubles, advent calendars, a snow globe, and tonnes of stationery featuring this theme, Pokefan’s needed an extra big stocking this year! So let’s unwrap this collection and review em all to see which decoration is the very best!
Frosty Christmas Baubles

Pokemon baubles, showing Sylveon and Pikachu wearing their best Christmas dresses and frolicking amongst gifts, are beautiful and will outshine even the sparkliest star on your Christmas tree. The ornaments came in traditional blue and red and were filled with milk and pink chocolates to enjoy before hanging them on the tree.
Price: 700 JPY
Frosty Christmas Plushies
The stars of the Frosty Christmas range were these 3 plush Pokemon in their fluffy winter coats, perfect to snuggle up to on a cold December Night. All 3, Charmander, Pikachu and Sylveon, have unique costume designs.
Sylveon’s coat was snow white and embossed with an elegant snowflake motif. Pikachu looked like the king of Christmas in a fluffy fur lined coat and carrying a little Christmas present. Finally, Charmander was tucked in to a reindeer onesie, complete with a fully functioning jingle bell attached to a sprig of holly that looks like a bow tie!
The hoods of their coats can be put up and down depending on whether you wanted to squeeze them out in the snow or in front of the fire.
Price: 2000 JPY
Frosty Christmas Snow Globe

You definitely need the Pokemon face towel to wipe away tears brought on by cuteness overload as you browse the Pokemon Christmas goods. The face towel and hand towel showed Pikachu and pals gathered around a snow coated Christmas tree exchanging gifts. New Sword and Shield starters have also been invited to this Poke-party! There was no better way to prevent Jack Frost from nipping at one’s extremities than burying them in this adorable scene this Christmas.

Frosty Christmas Advent Calendar
Anyone lucky enough to acquire this calendar began every day with Pokemon this December. The box type calendar showed Pokemon frolicking in the snow on the outside. Unfolding like your very own Pokémon adventure, the inside contained numbered boxes 1 – 24; each illustrated, front-and-back, with special Christmas Pokemon characters and filled with chocolates and cookies.
Price: 2300 JPY
The collection went on sale November 2nd. It was set to be available throughout the Christmas period in Pokemon Centres across Japan, while stocks lasted. At present, a few items like baubles may still remain, but the bulk of the collection sold out quickly, no doubt to Santa looking for contents for his sack. For those of us who missed out this year, let’s hope the Pokémon centre out does itself in Christmas 2020! In the mean time, have a poketastic Christmas!
