Animal Crossing x GODIVA: Tea‑Party Valentine Chocolates

GODIVA Japan is bringing a playful twist to Valentine’s Day 2026 with a limited-edition collaboration featuring Nintendo’s beloved Animal Crossing characters. Launching January 9, 2026, the GODIVA meets Animal Crossing lineup will be available in select GODIVA boutiques, cafés, online, and Valentine’s pop-up events across Japan for a limited time and in limited quantities.

The collection blends GODIVA’s signature chocolate craftsmanship with the cozy, character-driven charm of Animal Crossing. Inspired by a tea party theme, the assortment is designed to evoke a sweet, intimate atmosphere—ideal for gifting to loved ones or enjoying a character-themed tea break.

Highlights

Character-themed flavors

Each piece is embossed or illustrated with a beloved Animal Crossing character. 

Expect silky ganaches and bright centers. Tom Nook and Isabelle–inspired pieces deliver a sumptuous marriage of slightly bitter dark chocolate and creamy milk chocolate. 

Chrissy and Francois

Fragrant milk‑tea ganaches deliver warm, comforting notes—think a plush tea latte transformed into chocolate.

Anthony

A jasmine tea center brings a delicate, floral lift—light, perfumed, and elegantly refreshing.

Tina

Chai‑style ganache blends gentle spice and warmth with smooth chocolate for a cozy, aromatic bite.

Patty

A soft strawberry filling (0.6% strawberry) wrapped in white chocolate gives a tender, naturally sweet moment.

Jack

Zesty lemon filling coated in white chocolate provides a bright, refreshing pop that cleanses the palate.

Decorative treats include a smooth white‑chocolate leaf emblem. There are also heart‑shaped white chocolates in pink and white for classic Valentine’s charm.

The line is rounded out by three G Chocolat varieties. These are milk chocolate with salted‑caramel ganache, intense dark cacao ganache, and milk chocolate with black‑tea ganache. Each G Chocolat is wrapped in exclusive Animal Crossing designs.

Together, the flavors offer a balanced palette of rich, bittersweet, floral, spiced, and fruity notes. 

Collector packaging and goods

Beyond taste, the collection is built for keeps. Colorful tins and themed bundles are illustrated with character art and designed to be reused as charming display pieces. Select sets add functional, collectible extras, like a lidded mug or leaf-shaped tea mats, so you can extend the tea-party vibe long after the chocolates are gone.
