Barcelona, Spain just got an extra dose of Christmas with the Muji Christmas Machine. A specialized vending machine, it encapsulates Muji's idea that "if Santa was Japanese, it would be an ATM."
Set outside of their shop at Grand Boulevard L'Illa Diagonal, the Muji Christmas Machine will certainly bring a lot of cheer to the area.

Not to mention that there might just be a real person operating it from the inside.
