Kuroko's Basketball Christmas cakes launch with bonus character badges
PRIROLL is taking reservations for officially licensed Kuroko's Basketball Christmas cakes, with 16 designs and a matching bonus badge for every cake.
Kuroko's Basketball (黒子のバスケ) is getting a festive food tie-in in Japan, with PRIROLL now taking reservations for its 2026 Christmas cake range. The officially licensed cakes feature character artwork from the basketball series and come with a matching collectible badge for each cake ordered. 12
The range includes two group designs alongside individual versions featuring Tetsuya Kuroko, Taiga Kagami, Ryota Kise, Shintaro Midorima, Daiki Aomine, Atsushi Murasakibara, Seijuro Akashi and other characters. PRIROLL's product listing shows a group design with the players arranged around a Christmas message, while the wider line-up covers 16 character and group designs. 1
What the Christmas cake includes
The cake is a size-five round sponge, measuring 15cm across and 7cm high. Buyers can choose between whipped cream with strawberries or chocolate cream with strawberries. The character artwork is printed with edible ink, and the cake is shipped frozen by Yamato's chilled delivery service. PRIROLL says it should be thawed in a refrigerator for roughly four to six hours and eaten within 24 hours after thawing. 1
Every cake comes with a bonus can badge matching the selected design. The listed price is ¥5,591 including tax, reduced from the usual ¥5,886, with chilled-delivery postage charged separately. Because the cakes are made to order, PRIROLL says orders cannot be cancelled or returned once confirmed. 1
The product listing also warns that the photographs are illustrative, so the finished decoration and colours may differ from the promotional images. Reservations are being handled through the individual product pages on PRIROLL's official shop. 1
Why it matters
This is a straightforward licensed merchandise launch rather than a new anime announcement, but it gives Kuroko's Basketball fans a seasonal way to celebrate the series. The range also reflects how character licensing now extends beyond figures, apparel and home goods into limited food releases designed around specific calendar events.
Our opinion
The matching badge is the smart part of this release: it gives fans something reusable after the cake has disappeared, while the broad spread of character designs makes the range more than a single promotional image. The important caveat is practical rather than dramatic — this is a frozen, made-to-order product, so buyers should check the delivery date, postage and storage instructions before ordering. The official listing is the place to confirm availability and the exact design options.
The PRIROLL product page and the Anime! Anime! report list the cakes as available for reservation at the time of writing; prices and availability may change.
