Kkumdori walnut cakes (호두과자, walnut-shaped pastries) from Daejeon are launching a Christmas limited edition with winter-themed packaging and a new ‘salted red bean butter’ (소금앙버터) flavor. The special lineup includes visual touches young people like—Santa hats and reindeer antlers—stamped onto the cakes for a festive look. Available from Dec 12–25 at the Jung-gu walnut cake production center (중구 호두과자제작소), the release coincides with a new shop opening near Seongsimdang to attract more tourists. Since its August debut, Kkumdori has reached 230 million KRW in sales, and the city plans to add a new character to the “Kkumssi Family” next year. Mayor Lee highlighted ongoing product development as key to sustaining the brand’s popularity.
