Did you know that the receipts from Seicomart, a local convenience store beloved by the people of Hokkaido, feature playful designs to match seasonal events? This "receipt art," now a familiar sight for locals, is buzzing on social media with comments like, "That time of year is here again!"

On December 15th, an illustration appeared at the top of the receipt! The sight of feet, reminiscent of "that person" with a red hat and a beard, sparked a flurry of comments on social media, such as "I had a feeling it was about time," "He's coming from the top this year!" and "I've got to start collecting the receipts!"

The Story is Complete! A Cute Santa Appears Again This Year

The illustration changed every few days, and on December 22nd, Santa Claus finally made his full appearance! The "o" in "Seico mart" was replaced with a present, transforming the logo into a special Christmas version.

Will Something New Appear Next Year?

Seicomart's playful receipts are becoming an annual tradition. This past New Year's, the zodiac animal appeared. Perhaps something new is hiding on next year's receipts as well? When you go shopping, be sure to check your receipt.
