Cupid just went digital, and it’s delivering chocolate straight to your Nintendo Switch–obsessed heart. This Valentine’s Day, Godiva and Nintendo’s Animal Crossing are teaming up for a first-ever Australian collaboration that’s as sweet as it is collectible. From 11 February to 15 February 2026 (or until stock disappears faster than a villager at a DIY sale), gamers and chocolate lovers alike can snag the ultimate treat that blends indulgence with whimsy.
If you thought Valentine’s Day gifts were all about roses and cliché chocolates, think again. Godiva is bringing its luxury Belgian craftsmanship together with Animal Crossing’s cosy charm to serve up a Tea Party–themed collection that’s equal parts choc heaven and heart-melting nostalgia. After all, who wouldn’t want to sip jasmine tea with Colton, nibble on milk tea ganache alongside Francine, or share a pink heart chocolate with Isabelle?
Australia went bananas for Godiva’s last collab with Labubu, and insiders predict this drop will sell out quicker than you can say “Tom Nook owes me bells.” It helps that Animal Crossing itself is having a moment: the 2022 chart-topper just got its first content update in three years, giving fans a fresh excuse to celebrate – and snack – in style.
The collection comes in four keepsake tins designed to be treasured long after the chocolates vanish. Select sets even include an original lidded mug – which double as a tiny plate for your mini tea party. Whether you’re gifting your bestie for Galentine’s or flexing your love for your main squeeze, these boxes are the kind of collectible that’s worth more than a rare Nook Miles ticket.
Flavours are as imaginative as the Animal Crossing characters themselves. From the strawberry-flavoured Merengue and lemon-scented Raymond to the sophisticated black tea ganache and silky salted caramel creations, each bite is a love letter to your taste buds. And yes, milk, dark, and white chocolate all make their cameo appearances, because variety is the spice of love… and life.
For those who want to extend the Valentine’s fun beyond the box, Godiva boutiques across Australia are debuting a limited-time cafe menu. Godiva will serve eligible drinks and desserts in adorable Animal Crossing character sleeves – so you can sip an Apple Earl Grey Tea Crush or indulge in a Peach Tart Chocolixir, and live in a romantic, edible sim. Strawberry ice cream cones also come with mochi, crumble, and whipped cream – a sweet combo that’s just as cute as a little choc frog hopping across your screen.
Prices range from AUD $21.90 for the petite Gift Tin to $49.90 for the nine-piece green round tin, and all chocolates are lovingly wrapped in Animal Crossing collaboration packaging. Think of it as the ultimate way to press “save” on your Valentine’s Day – the kind of gift that doubles as a keepsake and conversation starter.
Of course, timing is everything. The collection goes live on 11 February, giving you just a few days to snag your treats before they vanish faster than a runaway Gulliver in a villager’s backyard. Shop online at godiva.com.au (AU + NZ shipping) or visit a boutique, and grab this limited drop before it glitches out – your Valentine’s Day deserves it!
TLDR? The Godiva x Nintendo Animal Crossing collab isn’t just a gift; it’s a full-on love quest. Whether you’re gifting it to a gamer, a chocoholic, or treating yourself because self-love is the best kind of love, this collaboration proves that even in 2026, hearts and pixels can beat as one. So go ahead: level up your Valentine’s Day, collect your tins, and let cocoa-coated love run wild. After all, love may be a game, but chocolate is forever.
