I tried the strawberry flavor of Mister Donuts (hereafter Misdo) "Pon De Wreath". It is one of two flavors available this Christmas. The other is chocolate. They came on the market on November 5th and are on sale, subject to availability, until around the end of December. I don't think there is an official, national end date, and they are just phased out. I have been to Misdo a handful of times in the last ten days and while all the other seasonal donuts seem to sell out early, the pon de wreaths are available until later. They do make more of them as the day goes on, and again, they seem to be easier to get your hands on than the other seasonal donuts, particularly the Pokemon themed ones.

I should point out that I am not the biggest fan of "pon de ring". It is my least favorite of Misdo's regular collection. But evidently that is not popular opinion, as a lot of people quote it as their favorite. The "pon de wreath" is supposed to resemble a wreath, but it really isn't much different to the usual "pon de ring". The only difference that I could see / taste is the sprinkles on the top. Which were nice enough, but nothing special. I think the chocolate "pon de wreath" looks a bit more seasonal than the strawberry one. But I haven't tasted it yet so I don't know how it compares for taste.
