KFC New Zealand launched a five-piece decoration set for the Christmas tree that includes ornaments in the shape of chicken wings, drumsticks, the face of Colonel Sanders, a package of fries and a bucket of fried chicken. As it stands, the quirky set of holiday decorations may only be won through the KFC New Zealand [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-show-us-your-meemaws) page. Even so, fans hope that KFC New Zealand will make the branded ornament set available for the public to purchase, as it has done in the past with other unusual home decor items such as its fried chicken-scented candle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Publicity Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/publicitystunts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Branded Holiday Merchandise:** Opportunity for brands to create unique and quirky holiday merchandise to engage with their audience. - **Unusual Branded Products:** Brands can explore the creation of unusual and unexpected branded products to generate buzz and interest among consumers. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** The popularity of limited edition collectibles provides an opportunity for brands to create exclusive merchandise that appeals to dedicated fans and collectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can leverage branded merchandise to extend their brand presence and create additional revenue streams outside of traditional food offerings. - **Retail:** Retailers can collaborate with brands to offer unique and exclusive holiday merchandise, attracting customers with limited edition and unusual products. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing agencies can help brands develop unique and attention-grabbing branded products to enhance their promotional strategies and engage with consumers in new ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [QSR-Backed Holiday Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-2k.md) - [Festive QSR Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-chicken-bucket.md) - [Branded Christmas Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-chicken-sandwich-ornament.md) - [Musical Chicken Bucket Lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-lid.md) - [QSR-Themed Christmas Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-merch-collection.md) - [Festively Themed QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-christmas-special.md) - [QSR Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-x-boxlunch.md) - [Fried Chicken-Scented Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-of-chicken-candle.md) - [Fried Chicken Fashion Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officially-licensed-kfc-product.md)
