Funko's New Zero Cereal is Inspired by the 'Nightmare Before Christmas'
Katherine Pendrill — October 17, 2019 — Lifestyle
The true standout of the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' has always been Zero the dog, and now the ghostly pup is getting his due in the form of Funko's new Zero cereal. Though it might seem like an unlikely pairing, the new cereal is perfect for chilly October mornings.
The new Zero cereal is the work of Funko, which is the company behind the iconic Funko POP! vinyl collectibles. The spooky cereal is a homage to the ghostly dog from Tim Burton's classic Halloween movie, 'Nightmare Before Christmas.' To celebrate Zero, the cereal features ghost-white multigrain O's that resemble tiny powdered donuts. The cereal also comes with a tiny Funko Pocket Pop figure of Zero, so fans can enjoy a bowl of Zero cereal with the faithful ghost pooch by their side.
