Fans can pick up these sweets and trinkets at AniSugar's Christmas Festa, which will be held on December 24-25 at the Akihabara UDX Gallery in Tokyo. The first 500 visitors will be rewarded with complimentary Christmas cupcakes. Besides perusing the market, anime fans can attend a series of stage events. The three announced so far are "Kemono Friends," which stars the voice actors of the upcoming anime; "Forget the Year! This Keyword Kills This Year's Anime," starring writers Bii Ogawa and Jō Maeda, anime critic Ryōta Fujitsu, and journalist Tadashi Sūdo; and the discussion "Our Christmas Night" with anime director Yutaka Yamamoto and anime critic "Otaking" Fujio Okada.

In previous years, Christmas cakes have showcased Black Butler, Neon Genesis Evangelion and One Piece. If getting an actual Christmas date doesn't work out, there's always the option of a virtual one with voice actress Haruka Tomatsu.
