Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus x GiGO Collaboration Starts Jan 31: POP UP, Taiyaki and Coasters

A GiGO collaboration with the TV anime Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus begins on January 31, 2026. The campaign features newly illustrated artwork “Flower Dress ver.” and rolls out a POP UP store tour, plus collaboration taiyaki and bonus drinks that come with random coaster novelties. Since operations may differ by location, checking each store’s guidance before visiting is recommended.

GiGO collaboration runs until March 1: POP UP stores, taiyaki and bonus coasters

The Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus × GiGO collaboration will be held from January 31 to March 1, 2026 across GiGO Group locations nationwide. A brand-new collaboration illustration, “Flower Dress ver.,” is introduced and used throughout the campaign’s in-store displays and merchandise lineup.

The campaign is built around three major offerings. First, a POP UP STORE event will be held at five GiGO Group locations, selling original collaboration goods. Store hours and entry management may vary by venue, and some locations may implement numbered tickets or entry restrictions during peak times. Details such as whether tickets are required, where to line up, and how re-entry works can differ by store, so visitors should follow each location’s posted guidance.

Second, collaboration taiyaki called “Ao-buta-yaki” will be sold at two specialty shops: GiGO no Taiyaki Akihabara and GiGO no Taiyaki Osaka Dotonbori Main Store. With each purchase, one original coaster (six designs total) is included at random. For crowd control, advance lotteries via the GiGO app may be used on selected dates, and even on lottery dates, time slots for free sales may be offered depending on conditions.

Third, bonus drinks with novelties will be sold at participating GiGO Group venues. Each drink purchase also includes one random original coaster (six designs total). The coaster designs for the taiyaki and the drinks are the same set, and because distribution is random, designs cannot be chosen. Both items are limited in quantity and will end once supplies run out.
