Unless you live in Japan, fried chicken and Christmas aren't really things that go together.

Regardless, KFC in New Zealand is trying to make it a thing with a series of tree decorations for the unrelenting chicken fan.

The set of five decorations features a drumstick, chips (a.k.a. fries), a wing, a bucket of fried chicken, and of course, Colonel Sanders.

Packed "beautifully" in a black presentation box, the fast food chain will release these in New Zealand stores in early-December. Sadly, it appears you can only win them on the chain's Facebook page.

"Forget the mistletoe this year — these naughty and nice decorations are sure to make the magic happen when you grab a drumstick off the tree and hold it overhead," KFC Marketing Director, Clark Wilson, said in a statement.

Around the world, KFC has been trying its hand at creating knick-knacks for marketing purposes. In Japan, they have fried chicken scented bath bombs, while back in New Zealand last year it released a fried chicken scented candle.

Anything to get you more hooked on fried chicken, hey.
